Graphically I think the game is amazing and I can see hiring the people who did Buzzard Bait having that prior experience. So all that said, cool about Detroit and the origin story of ST Joust development. Aside from a cool State Fair edition of the X-Men not much seemed to happen in Dallas in the comic book world. I remember that was kinda cool how that city had their resident super hero and I collected Firestorm for years. yep Firestorm, at least the earlier years in the story, took place in Detroit. Probably a lot, but no one wanted to admit it. Makes me wonder what other development went on in Detroit. Game development?!? Here?!?! Well, that didn't last long.) They were located in the suburbs of Detroit, which was amazing to me as a kid. ( Here's a great Antic article about an ST graphics tool they developed for Joust with some eye-opening making-of details. It cracks me up that they ripped off the game and then got hired to do the official ST port. So the sound seems very natural to me.įunny thing about the ST version is that it was developed by The Rugby Circle, a two-person bedroom outfit who developed the Color Computer knockoff called Buzzard Bait (which is what I grew up playing before I was allowed to touch the ST ). I spent goodness knows how many hours on it. The Atari ST version of Joust was the best version I had available to me when I was a kid, and, I dunno, I still like it as much as any that isn't the arcade. better than the Atari ST version which is just sad. So figured I'd throw in the 2600 to help make the set complete to represent all the other Atari consoles.īut the Atari 2600 was actually pretty good and. There were so many others, the Atari 8-bit being the first one I did and favorite, that were better.
It's funny but I originally did the 2600 sounds as a joke.
