Joust - Atari 5200

Joust is an arcade-style platformer for the Atari 5200, set in a mythic world where players engage in aerial combat atop ostrich-like birds. The objective is to defeat waves of enemy knights riding buzzards. Players must strategically flap their steed's wings to navigate platforms and collide with opponents at a higher altitude to unseat them, while avoiding pits, lava, and fierce pterodactyls. Successful jousters turn foes into eggs to collect for points. It's renowned for its unique cooperative and competitive multiplayer gameplay, a hallmark that has cemented Joust's status as an iconic and influential classic.
