Joust VGA

Joust VGA is a clone of the famous Joust arcade game, which many other later games took as inspiration. (Perhaps most notably Balloon Fight on the NES.) The object is to ride your flying ostrich around the screen and joust the other riders off of their ostriches. The game plays quite well (although you may need to adjust the speed to avoid it playing super-fast) even though only the one-player mode is included in the shareware version. The graphics are faithful to the original and the game has a satisfying feel as you flap around and try to unseat the other riders.
