Joust NES

Keep your lance high in "Joust," a video game for NES that replicates the arcade experience. You take on the role of a knight mounted on a flying ostrich or stork, fighting enemy knights mounted on buzzards. Your two-dimensional battlefield offers a mix of stone platforms and lava pools. When lance comes to lance, whoever has the most height wins. If your defeated foe lands on rock, he becomes an egg and respawns as a more powerful enemy. Those that fall in lava are destroyed. Like many other NES games, it also offers a cooperative mode for two players. A deceptively simple game, Joust proved highly influential in the development of a number of other games.

In the medieval age, knights were proving their skills and
bravery by playing the game called JOUST. In the future well
beyond our knowledge, the knights of hyperspace are playing
their version of JOUST. They saddle up the space ostrich, and
fight with aliens. You must adjust yourself to this unknown
environment called hyperspace. You are not fighting for fame or
glory, you are fighting for your own life. Knock the aliens off
before they get to you. It is not an easy task, but somebody
must do it. Can you be the survivor of this space fight? Good
Luck! Believe me you will need it.
