Did not really do much besides shoot things and carry crystals around. Found a lot of extra lives laying around, including 3 on one screen (?!). Good score yes I tried to like the game, looks like Joust meets the Eidolon, some nice graphics but needs to make you more aware when you are being zapped.

The game was written in Atari Basic, so goodbye to fast speed and errmm, it is "somewhat" simpler than the original game, but still quite playable for novice and amateur(ish) players like me. Besides, "Strauß" means ostrich and "Kampf" means battle, thus the game is named ostrich battle. But errrm, an ostrich cannot fly! Think there are a few more PD clones, but do not remember their names. And there is also a Chip-8 game named "Joust23" and since we have a Chip-8 emulator by Pirx, we can also play that on the A8. We also have an Apple II emulator for the A8, but afaik no-one converted an Apple disk with Joust into ATR format to be played with that emulator (besides it would be very slow and the Apple II emulator requires 128k RAM and seperate Antic access).

invisible kid Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 When's the next one? I keep missing these since they moved them out of the general area. Why did they do that? I added this area to my bookmarks so I shouldn't miss next one.
