New PB: 178,650. I was SO THRILLED to reach the stage when all of the enemies are blue. Thrilled.
 

I finally broke 100k!  104,250.
 

40,600

Well, I barely improved my score... 17,250

I was never that good at Joust, but I had played the arcade version on Antstream Arcade a few months ago. Another gamer, Tracey Gleave, received tips from Lonnie McDonald. Lonnie used to have the MAME record on Twin Galaxies....before Tracey broke his record!
 
Anyway, one thing I do is let the enemies come to me at the bottom of the screen. Then I will time my flapping of the ostrich to their descent so I will be above them as they start to ascend.
 
The floating eggs adds a different dimension in this version. It makes for a somewhat challening Egg Stage. Thankfully, there are only six eggs to collect.
 
It doesn't look like you can stab the pterodactyls, which is fine because they're scary creatures and I tend to run away from them lol.

I was just about to respond.  I have done it one time but you have to be very accurate.  Your tiny javelin leaves no room for error.  I don't know if you get points for the kill or not.

Awesome score.  You're not making this easy for me 😁 Just kidding man.  Nice score.  Care to share any secrets?

New PB: 143,850. I'm slowly figuring out the tendencies of the various enemies. The Blue ones are quite clever and they will double-back quickly and even zig-zag at times.

I'm actually using the LCD of an older portable DVD player. Wanna see?

When I modded my 7800 to fix the bad RF modulator I also added a pulled headphone jack from a broken genesis.  I was able to use that to connect it to a portable DVD player with inputs.  Kind of neat actually.
While I'm here score update: 75650.  I'm knocking on someone's door...I just don't know who's door.

New PB: 94,200. One big difference with this version is that the enemies will change direction suddenly.

New PB: 91,200. Wow, do I love the pterodactyls.

Improved my score.  39,550.  Stupid Pterodactyl.
 

I'm on the board. 23,550. I'm going to try again. I can do better.  Played on my 7800.

Arrived today. Getting in with a first score of 26,300. Playing on the 7800 with a 2600 controller.

You're right there. Now to charge past that plateau.

I did OK lol. There's quite a bit of timing involved with the various levels, especially the cage level since there are birds flight East-West while the snappers are going North-South.
