Joust A Minute!

Sky Joust is loosely based on the arcade game Joust. The game involves controlling your Ostrich in a duel against other birds, snakes and nasties using your laser lance to zap them. Failing to kill birds will result in them landing and laying eggs which eventually hatch into even more baddies.

The game begins with just one bird to kill and becomes progressively harder as you continue with a total of three different screens. PMODE3 graphics are used and are quite impressive, but by no means the best that J. Morrison have produced, and apart from the music on the title screen the sound effects are uninspired.

The best thing about this game is its price - just £3.95. The software is not as sophisticated as other versions, such as Buzzard Bait by Microdeal and is therefore not so addictive.
