Description

Joust is a jousting game in which the player must defeat four competing knights (gold knight, silver knight, red knight and black knight) in order to win the princess' hand in marriage. To joust the player must select from a list of aiming points and defensive positions, where only limited combinations are possible. After each play the result is shown based on the competing knights choices.
