Joust

I tend to enjoy vintage video games, from my Atari VCS 2600 to the NES, SNES, and Sega Genisis. But Joust holds a special place in my heart as one of the greatest games of all time.





Look at that box art, and tell me it's not a great game. You've got Ostriches (ostrischi?) Buzzards, Knights (pron. Kuh-NIG-its), and an unexplained landscape, complete with floating spheres. But, as has been said time and again, you can't judge a book by its wonderfully crafted cover. So here to settle the score, a wonderful flash remake of the original arcade game:

I challenge you not to be amused!
