Fantastical. Loved this game although I never did quite get the hang of the jousting. The Joust in my opinion was more luck than judgement.

[zeusgb]

I hated jousting, I used to get lucky a few times but never managed to win an actual tournament.

[JackReeve]

did u no u can play the originqal vers on the cinemaware website?(Cinemaware r the company that made the game)

[zeusgb]

Yeah I downloaded it ages ago.

[deicidehell]

much nicer sound compared to th amiga version,

[JackReeve]

the atari st is still 1 of my fave gaming machines and i loved it every time when this music hit i had an atari st till about i was 5-6 in 1995 was absoloutly awesome and this is still in top 5 fave games

@GalerianXD1 I could never win at jousting with anyone but Wolfric the Wild, because he was the only one with a Strong rating.

[MrFlibble2011]

This blew me away on Amiga.

[vegunited06]

@Grogz40 LOL

Well it was you that clicked on the atari vid rather than the amiga one!

[MartinK303]

I used to watch in awe of my dad when he played this, he conquered all of England and Wales a few times. Seriously, they should make this game into a film or someting, I would pay to watch this if it were a film

[Grogz40]

Hearing this on an Atari ST makes my ears hurt. No comparison at all compared to the Amiga.

[HolgerDenmark]

Hm... I think the Amiga version had better graphics and sound, at least to my recollection...

great game though. played the PC cd version quite a bit too when that came out 10+ years ago

[LOveERDos]

@Ahle2 the amiag have just more the blitter chip, the graphics horsepower of Amiga backbone, through which the CPU was raised by the increasingly difficult task of moving the bitmaps in memory. ST games were often of low quality ports, which do not benefited from the capabilities of the machine while interesting (but less graphically due to the absence of the Amiga blitter, at least until version STE).Becouse st was more an intellecutual computers mucisians and office, the few STE GAME are goo

I loved this game and bought it too. It was the first Rob Northen protection I bumped into. Clever at the time but of course not uncrackable... ;)

@zeusgb while playing the jousting, my dad accidentally killed the opponents horse once! lol
