Player Reviews
Average score: 3.9 out of 5 (based on 9 ratings with 1 reviews)
Another bullseye for the Lynx porting legacy.
The Good
It is a rare port that makes you go back and double-check the original to see what is different, and Joust is one of those ports. Shadowsoft so nailed the Lynx port of Joust that at the time (1992) I actually found myself finding a local Joust to compare them. The graphics are a perfect interpretation of the originals. The gameplay is spot-on. The sound is 100% faithful to the arcade coin-op (it is probably digitized from the arcade coin-op).
Everything just feels like the original.
The Bad
Nothing. A cliche, I know, but there really isn't anything to dislike about the game whatsoever.
The Bottom Line
A classic game for any oldskool gamer, Lynx owners have it especially lucky that one of the best ports is for their system.
