Thanks to Fabrizio for highlighting this one for us. This is an entry for the long lost Atarisoft conversion of Joust on the C64.
The game made it across a variety of platforms, as did other Atari based games on the C64 via the Atarisoft label, but Joust is still elusive to the machine.
According to this website source, the game was believed to have been started on the C64 by Atarisoft, so we are likely to be hunting a non-vapourware title.
Many of us will know of the game Jouste which was written by Joe Hellesen. It is rumoured that this game is infact the Atarisoft game which was canned for reasons unknown. We need to confirm this, but its an initial lead into finding out more.
Early days yet, but if you want to see the potential Atarisoft game... check out the Jouste entry at Gamebase 64...
Do you know anything about this conversion?...
Frank.
