Two player games have always been thin on the ground, and Joust is great fun either with a friend or against the computer. Read Review
The arcade classic from Williams Electronics brought to you on the BBC Micro by Aardvark Software.
Gameplay instructions are given during loading.
Joust has just three controls: left, right and flap.
Each player has a choice of two sets of keys since left-handed people may prefer to use their left hand to flap.
In a two player game, the following controls may be used:
Left | Right | Flap | |
Player 1: | CAPS LOCK | CTRL | S |
Player 2: | + | * | RETURN |
If one or other of the players are left-handed, then you may prefer the "alternative" controls (for left-handed players):
Left | Right | Flap | |
Player 1: | W | E | TAB |
Player 2: | Cursor Up | Cursor Down | @ |
To end a game, press ESCAPE and Cursor Right at the same time.
In a one player game, all the above keys work.
f0/f1 - Sound Off/On, f2/f3 - Pause On/Off, f4/f5 - Start One/Two Player Game
You may use joysticks if you prefer. If so, you may use the keyboard flap keys instead of joystick fire buttons if preferred.
