Quak Attak

Quak Attak from Softek is a comical version of the arcade game Joust, where a gallant knight battles with enemy riders for the honour of king, queen and country.

Each level is set in a castle square which has three platforms. On these, the player can rest his mount between jousts.

The enemy riders control yellow ducks and you, the hero, ride a magnificent pink and yellow duck. To defeat the enemy, the hero must ride above each in turn and plunge down upon them. By doing this, the rider is dislodged from his mount.

When he hits the floor, escape is his main objective and bonus points can be gained by shooting him. If he does escape, points are lost and you move onto the next level. An additional hazard is the green dragon whose touch is deadly.

Quak Attak is a game that even the youngest players can understand and enjoy, but there is a lack of variety, the graphics are only adequate and the sound is mediocre.
