In Joust, players take control of a knight with a lance who rides their flying ostrich (or stork, for Player 2) to battle evil computer-controlled knights who ride vultures.
Players must flap their mount's wings to strike the enemy from a higher jousting point in order to destroy the vulture and its rider. Once the enemy is hit, an egg drops onto one of the platforms below. Heroic knights must destroy the eggs before they hatch and release new, increasingly difficult knights. The three enemy knight forces are Bounder (red knight), Hunter (white knight), and Shadow Lord (blue knight). These enemy knights aren't the only challenge in the game. Players also have to deal with crumbling platforms, lava trolls trying to lure knights into the fire, and the dreaded "unbeatable" pterodactyl. (?).
The game was new for its time as it was one of the arcade's few simultaneous two-player games.
