I remember this game being advertised on the back of a Superman Comic book and really wanting to play it looking at it now i'm not sure why.

Too bad this is the VGA remake and not the original Atari port...
Blood-Piggy, your review set me off: you talk about the solid Atari port yet the screens are from the remake: Joust VGA. Then you complain about controls: again Joust VGA. The actual 1983 Atari port has configurable keys! Last edited by Office_Monk; 21-02-2008 at 11:25 AM. |

Haha I had to laugh at the review for that - VGA wasn't used until 1989 or so and he thinks a 1983 already had those kind of graphics ? :P

Joust VGA
Released 1990 I think the game data section is wrong.

You're right.
They've adjusted the year now, and here are the data for producer/publisher: Dave & Ron Sharpless Joust VGA is a fanmade remake. So, basically every reference to Williams Electronics and Atari should be edited out of the review. The 1983 PC Port (by Atari) was a Booter and actually better in my eyes than this VGA remake... |

Well, but the VGA version of the game comes much closer to the Mame-version which I really enjoyedm playing... still have it installed with an emulator...

Sorry simpletons, but the game presents a VGA option to play with. The only information provided about the year of the game was given to me via what was in the Important Announcements section.
Go trumble your misplaced elitism over there.
