Joust is set in the days when knights in shining armor fought their battles while sitting astride huge green buzzards and pink storks, and is an officially licensed version of Atari's small arcade game of the same name. The opening screen consists of a large landmass at the bottom of the screen with bridges to the left and right. The bridges are there to prevent you from falling into the lava below. In the sky, there are several smaller platforms that hover motionless, and the player can stand on them. The game can be played by one or two players. In the two-player option, inexperienced players can combine against the computer baddies, but more experienced players can compete against each other as well as the mic.
