1:21 That jump isn’t that hard, I got it first try. First time even playing that level too.
@BLMNDEF Hey hey hey, He’s NOT a toaster……. He’s a stapler…
I can see that.
I call that “ballerina hard hats” : ” Hard hat using Top spin” ( top man’s wepon )
1:21 My brain just exploded…
“Hey, Mega Man, you wanna show everybody the Wire Adapter now?”
“Uh-huh.”
I LOLED.
1:58 onwards, if anyone doesn’t know (obviously GeminiLaser does).
I believe Inafune himself said that Heat Man looked like a lighter, but I can see the toaster side of him.
WHEN HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES ATTACK
Yeah, tell that to Heat Man.
(People think he’s a zippo lighter but to me he looks more like a toaster)
Balloon Adapter, you say? I’m not sure I’ve ever tried that.
01:09 I’ve made that jump. Sometimes I use the Rush Coil to make it easier, and sometimes I use the baloon adapter and slide.
“WHEN HOUSEHOLD ITEMS ATTACK!!” Lmao
At my first try at the jump it was easy . . . But when i died later I tried it again and got GAME OVER
One possibility, i suppose.
well for dustman’s stage I guess you can say that junk is kind of robotic dust if that makes any sence
Ha! No, but I accept wallets.
5:53
dang! *checks wallet*
do you accept checks?
Sorry–should I put a safety warning on my videos?
dude i was watching and it was so close and i hit my head that hurt
It must be from watching all that Star Trek.
Not intentionally! Just kinda worked out that way for a while.
Hm. Very good point. I’ll refrain from rebutting that type of comment.
You sure are great at handling things diplomatically. I’m always impressed.
@GeminiLaser: All right then, I’ll call Sora to do it.
Are you going through the stages in alphabetical order?
That string of comments turned out to be a pretty touchy one and was summarily laid to rest; don’t want you to get sucked in, too.
Um…magic.
Exuse me but your have your settings on black and white!
The birds are actually in color.
@burr1aj: That’s Zaxxon for the Atari 2600.
playstation x-box suk
@AtariAndre42 You’re a dipshit for being so damn dumb
.
I could excuse your ignorance if we were living in the pre-web dark ages, but we have wikipedia now. It confirms that that Atari VCS/ 2600 had 2 player sprites. All you had to do was look it up
.
@harleykman The 2600 doesn’t even have sprites !
I have an intellavision and atari guess who wins
Is this the CGR HD Pilot episode? haha.
Colecovision version ruled
man old school….dig it
i must play it on xbla!
Brilliant game the video at 1:32 is great I managed to get it online for free here 115 games. com There are simply thousands of PS3 games available but the best thing is they are all totally free too superb game
I guess this is the first modern CGR episode D:
That sounds kinda like when Mario jumps in SMB.
Yeah. Can’t go wrong with Joust. Used to play that game for days.
Classic Game Room,I Have Been Looking For The 007 Reviews However I Saw 007 GoldenEye But I’ve When To The Joust Reviews.Your Page IS….AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!:)-JoshuaNight332
wow the atari still liveson in the heart of serious gamers.
Bird Ass!
That’s a fantastic running joke. They should have it on T-Shirts if they don’t already.
Thanks to your show I got my first atari 2600 a few months ago, and I just bought a sealed joust of ebay for pretty cheap. Cant wait to do some bird assing on the 2600, love the show. You should make another DVD first one was great.
Yup, the game is already flickering birds(player 1 and 2, and two enemy birds and eggs) consistently. It isn’t noticeable or distracting on a television screen. Also, if a pterodactyl is on the same line as the 2 enemies birds, one bird disappears.
Also, I believe Mark’s black and white switch is on black and white.Otherwise we would see colors on the enemies.
Also, this game is played best on the Sega Genesis controller! I can’t stand using the joystick for this game. Great fun game though!
The reason the eggs don’t land is because the Atari is limited to only two sprites, therefore you can’t have more than two enemy birds (or eggs) on the same scanline.
So the programmer decided it was easier to just have the eggs fly through the air, rather than deal with a flickering mess of overloaded sprites.
i remember thinking at one time that joust was like the mideval game played with the pointy sticky thingies and horses. wow this game looks wayyyyyyyyy different than i thought it would
Picture this, its 1983, you’re 12 years old on Christmas vacation. Yours and your nieghbors parents are at work all day, all week! I had Intelivision, my neighbor had Atari 2600. We listened to Dr. Demento taped from the night before and played video games all day! What fun! Now we got jobs and stuff.
Yeah you can kill the pterodactl it’s hard as hell though as you have to hit a certin part of it’s mouth as opposed to just hitting it’s mouth while it’s open like the arcade version.
moved to another state(new Jersey Ibelive?)… saddness
Nice review.
