They will go past you and then turn without warning. The gray ones have killed me more than anything else in this game including the pterodactyl. The gray enemies took some adjusting. The blue enemies will even zig-zag. They're so annoying lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco1019 Posted March 2, 2023 Report Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) Thank you as always, @Justin, for the kind words. As I believe I posted early on in this thread, I never imagined Joust would be released for the 2600! I'm not sure if I will take part in March, but it's party for a good reason: I will be soon taking part in the Recharged Squad Challenge! I will (finally) unbox my new Atari VCS on a short Twitch stream tomorrow night, and I hope to get in a little gaming before preparing for my 100th show on Wednesday. Oh, I also learned of another fun challenge called the Splash Wave Racing League. It's run on Twitter by Sharkabytes, and their latest challenge is Wipeout XL!

Atari 5200 Guy Posted March 2, 2023 Report Share Posted March 2, 2023 We all did an awesome job. Joust is hard no matter what and the 2600 version has got some big ones to deal with. The eggs flying around are one thing, the enemy jousters in the 2600 version are tougher than those on the 5200 and 7800 versions. 2600 Joust is a solid game for sure. I'm glad I have it.

A testament to that fine system and the work of @Sabertooth over in Club VCS. Many thanks. Excellent score here @Marco1019 and everyone else who competed.
