Top 5 Reasons To Not Play Joust

Zeromage | October 22, 2008 | Blog | XBOX 360 Misc 
In this list the popular video game blog Old-Wizard.com declares war on the decades old arcade game Joust with their "Top 5 Reasons Not to Play Joust".
Everyone raves about Joust as being on par with Pac-man and Tetris. There’s a sacred set of games that are perfect in their simplicity. The later games are always amongst the first listed in this sacred set. For some reason though, people like to include the shitty game named “Joust” on that list as well. We are out to destroy that notion with this article. This game is boring, sonically annoying, and not worth the time for what the game tries to give in entertainment value. We hope that Joust will be disregarded as one of the great simple games after this article is read through.

    I admit that it would be a waste to say, buy it off the marketplace. But for an arcade game, it can keep you entertained for awhile. Although I think I'd probably play Moon Patrol a little more.

    I'm wondering if this comment from the source site is accurate.

    This game was great back in the day, you guys just have horrible taste; or were born after 1990.
    Joust is a classic game that can only be appreciated by the older generations who grew up in the 8bit days.

    No music as a reason? seriously? Pong had no music and it is one of the best games in the history of gaming. According to the majority of the points listed for Joust they could easily apply to Pong as well, so, you think Pong sucks too?
