      At first I didn't like this game, now I think it's pretty fun. I think I like the sequel a bit better though...

        Uh oh. Best we not talk about the sequel here.

            @galaga just a difference of opinion, but if you want to borrow my format, by all means, we could have a Joust 2 thread. :-)

              You didn't mention the (probably accidental) secret door: come in for a bouncing landing on platform 4 from the right -- if done correctly, you'll bounce along, rather than the mount standing up. Skid past the screen wrap and you'll slide along 7 and THROUGH the gap, popping out below 6!

                Next you'll be telling us that 'Caddyshack II' wasn't the superior film.

                      I mentioned it in the MAME ROW post, but glad someone brought it up. It’s hard to recommend that trick as a strategic move though.

                        No, @lilbud is right. Caddyshack 2 was a big mistake. It only serves to dilute the original for people who don’t know the difference. It’s awful. Somebody (maybe that mother you refer to) thought that if Bill Murray can play Carl Spackler, why surely Dan Akroyd can too. Shame on them.

                          @caver01 It's mostly useless strategically, I agree! :) I've used it as a quick escape from the pterodactyl though.

                            Man, you guys are heartless. I suppose you also didn't even shed one tear when they made that poor dead man dance to calypso music in 'Weekend at Bernies 2'. Doesn't anyone have an appreciation for classic cinema anymore?

                              I’ll mention another interesting oddity in the game. When the top center platform disappears (end of wave 6?) it usually leaves a ghost pixel or two on the right side. Also, if you work with another player in a co-op game, it’s possible to have the entire platform left behind as ghost pixels. It is very difficult to do it, but basically, you have to have a player spawning on the generator on that platform at the end of the wave before the platform disintegrates while the other player completes the wave. This involves leaving an egg, then committing suicide in the lava. Not exactly worth the effort, but an interesting bug.

                                Methinks it’s not that you like bad sequels—yer just a Jonathan Silverman fan. I get it.

                                      I can tell you at least one of those was awful. I can guess that the other one was too.

                                        Not true at all. I really enjoyed 'Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo'.
