  • Joust (Atari 5200)

    Release Date: 1983
    Genre: Arcade / Action

  • Description: Joust is a physics-based action game where players ride flying ostriches, defeating enemies by colliding from above. Movement relies on flapping to gain height and control positioning.

  • Co-op: Two players share the screen and can work together to clear enemies faster, but it’s easy to accidentally collide with each other. Communication helps keep things under control.
