Wait ... ostriches can fly?

Initially, it's you against three other birds. Then they start coming in packs. Then chunks of the level start disappearing. Then the rival buzzard-jockeys start getting smarter and wilier. It's this progressive difficulty that makes Joust just as intense today as it was 20 years ago, and a welcome addition to the Live Arcade for those who fondly recall the Defender days of yore.
