The Revenge of Joust
In "researching and implementing" (read: goofing
off with)
Mame for an upcoming article, I discovered
Karl Farh's Ridiculously Complete Joust
Strategy Page It's a brilliant read and pretty much sums up everything I could say.
It was only later that I realized just how bizarre the world of Joust
is.
Player 1 is riding a giant ostrich, and player 2 is mounted on a great stork. The enemy
jousters are all sitting pretty on big green buzzards. Stone islands appear and disappear
in the sky, acting as obstacles one second and cover in the next. Opponents turn into eggs
when defeated, which hatch into even more lethal opponents unless picked up. Inspiration?
or madness?
Check out Karl's page and relive the
old-school glory!

Mel :
Joust!
I found you through murmur's journal, if I remember correctly... but... do you have ANY idea of where I can find a working copy of Joust? I've given up on trying to find it in the real world, and turned to the internet for help... any ideas? ANY?! I will bear your children or give you goldfish!
