Game Description
Xbox arcade brings back one of the greatest time suckers in history. In Joust, you control a flying ostrich that has a knight armed with a lance riding on it. Your control is limited to left and right movement and a flap button, which you must hit repeatedly to stay aloft. Not to mention the fact that below all of platforms is a giant pool of lava. Your jouster isn't the only thing on the level, though. Other winged warriors riding buzzards materialize into each wave, and you must take them on by jousting with them. When you collide, the jouster with the higher elevation comes out victorious, while the other is destroyed. Also, if you take too long to complete a level, pterodactyls appear and start roaming the level. These flying dinosaurs can't be beat in the conventional Joust manner, making them foes you'll want to stay away from, though the game gives you achievement points the first time you do finally take one out.
