- I've not seen Joust yet here in boston. And I looked the day before
- xmas. At any rate, I must find this game tomorrow, I will find it.
- :-)
-
- Well my real question is did the dup the bug that let you get realy
- realy good?
-
- OLD TIME JOUST Spoiler ahead.
-
- In old joust you could sit right of center on the center ledge, with
- one red dude traped by the fire troll. And the unbeatable?!?
- pteradactal would fly up and impale himself on your spear.
-
- I must know did they include this bug? I've always said that I would
- include this as a switch if I ever coded a joust.
-
- Because yes it's a cheat but it's one that took some skill. since 1)
- you had to get to a level wher eyou could do it and 2) you had to have
- very fine paw control to stay in place, each impact moved you a little
- bit.
