Joust is a classic arcade game released on May 1, 1986, for the Atari 7800 console. The gameplay revolves around players controlling their knight with a lance who rides an ostrich or stork to engage in aerial combat against computer-controlled evil knights riding vultures.
The objective of the game is to flap your steed's wings to hit the enemy from a higher jousting point, destroying the vulture and its rider. This action releases eggs that must be destroyed by the heroic knights before they hatch and release new, increasingly difficult enemy knights.
Players will face various challenges in Joust , including crumbling platforms, lava trolls, and a formidable pterodactyl. The game also features three types of enemy knights: Bounder (red knight), Hunter (white knight), and Shadow Lord (blue knight). With its unique gameplay mechanics and simultaneous two-player mode, Joust was a groundbreaking title in the arcade scene.
