Released: 1983
Joust is an action game that was first released in the Arcade in 1982.
+ Includes various wave types to keep things interesting, and having to collect eggs before they re-hatch is devious.
+ Likewise, the need to quickly eliminate buzzards to avoid deadly Pterodactyls entering creates tension-filled gameplay.
+ Shrewdly, you can override the respawn animation after a death to get back into the action at the most opportune time.
+ There's several difficulty options to cater to your skill level, and the two-player mode is a fun mix of co-op and battle.
- 5200 controller results in some unfortunate deaths, as its lack of self-centring can see you drifting in one direction.
- Allows you to hold down the fire button to avoid continuous tapping, but your bird rises so slowly that it's pointless.
