JOUST! Mac OS
The Joust application can simply be run by itself, or if you feel the need for Macromedia animation before you start your game, click on 'Digital Arcade.' The game itself is more reliable under different Mac OS's than the animated menu is! Also in the series were Williams' Defender and Robotron: 2084. Compatibility Architecture: 68k. In Joust, players take control of a knight with a lance who rides their flying ostrich (or stork, for Player 2) to do battle against computer-controlled evil knights who ride atop vultures. Players must flap their steed's wings to hit the enemy from a higher jousting point to destroy the vulture and its rider.

Description of Joust
Joust is a faithful PC conversion of Williams' coin-op and Atari console classic done in-house by Atari as part of their 'Atarisoft' brand.
The objective should be familiar to everyone except those who started gaming after early 1980s: ride an ostrich around the screen as you joust-battle the enemy shadow-lords flying on their buzzards. At the same time, you must pick up the eggs before they hatch into more deadly enemies. Other dangers include a pterodactyl who periodically arrives to thin out the ranks of on-screen warriors if things are taking too long, and platforms that disappear under your feet, plunging you into a sea of molten lava.
The game includes support for two players, and the 4-color CGA palette does a nice job of conveying all the frantic action and different enemies. This PC version of Joust does the game joust-ice, and brings the elegant fun of simple-to-learn-but-addictive-to-play arcade pioneers to the PC screen. Highly recommended.
