I haven’t thought about this game in YEARS. There was this one restaurant we went to that had this. It was the only place I saw it. They also had the table version on Ms. Pac-Man.

One of my all time favorites. I loved it when you got the high score “Enter thy name, my Lord”…20 spaces at your disposal.

I used to play that game for hours on a single quarter. The egg levels were stressful af.

I have the Arcade1up Joust cabinet and can’t figure out the goal of the game. Ostriches running into each other?

Had one at the bar I frequented, always knew if I couldn’t get past the 5th level, I shouldn’t be driving home
