Join Pat the NES Punk, James Rolfe, Pro Jared, and others as we talk about great games!
Joust is an arcade game developed by Williams Electronics and released in 1982. While not the first game to feature two-player cooperative play, Joust was more successful than its predecessors and popularized the concept. The player uses a button and joystick to control a knight riding a flying ostrich. The object is to progress through levels by defeating groups of enemy knights riding buzzards.

Reckon I probably played this game more than any other when I was a kid. Tons of fun!

Those kind of games are a lot of fun. Joust and Baloon Fight are the only two I can think of.

The background music sounds like a Wesley Willis song without him singing.

joust should be a tv series. an ancient time when knights competed in jousting tournaments by riding on flying ostriches in a cave above lava pits with lava trolls and pterodactyl.

[ButtHoleSinger]

This game always makes me think of "Ready Player One"

[smoogles]

"-how satisfying it is to just splurt on top of the enemies and turn them into eggs-" Is Joust an Atari porn game?

[Malacefire]

[LateNiteRamen]

Man LGR's Clint could at the time stand in for one of the members of ZZ Top with that epic beard.

[ladynikkie]

Wow this is the first time I seen Frank in the Arcade years

[Drawkcabi]

[mtganimemiikefan]
