Joust ATARI 7800

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.

The game was new for its time as it was one of the few simultaneous two-player games in the arcade.
