More basic, make sure your lance is higher than the lance you're trying to hit. A lot of the time I do this by dropped on top of the enemy target.

 

7800 Joust has the good looks of the arcade, with the more fun play of the Atari 8-bit version. To me, 7800 Joust is perfection for a Joust fan like me.

Whenever the Ostrich trys to stop running it sounds like he or she has tires on it's feet.

yea this is the first game I used to test my 7800 I got mine from work for very cheap, but the game didnt work untill I tried some of my 2600 games in the console any guesses why that would be?

Excellent conversion of a classic on the 7800. It blows the NES version out of the water, which is horrible IMO.

I think the NES version is horrible in the opinion of everyone who doesn't actually worship the NES. I mean that literally. To like the NES version one would have to actually declare their faith as "NES worshiper" on a census.
