Balloon Fight wasn't bad, but it definitely isn't quite the same experience as the ostriches.

I didn't play Joust back when it was new (considering the fact I wasn't alive at that point), but I have played it and I absolutely love it. It's such a simple game, but it has the perfect amount of difficulty to be challenging but not frustrating.

Maybe I've mixed it up...
...with a movie (°.O)
"Midway Games optioned Joust's movie rights to CP Productions in 2007. Michael Cerenzie and Christine Peters of CP Productions planned to expand on a game element for the film's premise. Cerenzie described the script by Marc Gottlieb as Gladiator meets Mad Max, set 25 years in the future, and Peters commented that the action oriented film would appeal to a general audience. The movie was planned as a tent-pole movie, with a graphic novel by Steven-Elliot Altman as part of the media franchise's release. Midway Games also considered a video game adaptation of the film. Joust's expected release date was set in June 2008 and then later pushed back to 2009. The video game company, however, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2009. Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment purchased most of Midway's assets, including Joust, with the intent to develop movie adaptations." (from Wikipedia)

I know that there were remakes, but I'm pretty sure that I've played a game called "Joust" with ostriches.
EDIT: Several versions and I definately played the C64 version.

ohhh ok well supposdly the other one was a rip off of joust, that one looks similar too, i know there was one that was a copy of joust, it was quite similar it was called something else but then was also called joust sometimes aswell that might have been it, but since i never play C64 i cant really help with what one it is XD

you never know, i presumed there all gamers on this site, but i figured knowing my luck if i said all, then my post would be flooded with non gamers xD, my luck just sucks like that
also some people that play certine games dont like to be considered "gamers" because they think your calling them a geek or something, at least theres some people over there, like i know a guy whos huge into cod and we were having an arguement about whether he was a gamer or not, even though he had EVERY cod game out there xD

I had a NES but never played Joust on it. Years later I got one of those controllers with a bunch games built in, and Joust was on there. Major wtf moment followed by me laughing my ass off as I realized I was running around on an ostrich.

Just a note for those unaware. World of Warcraft has a tribute to Joust quest/game in it nowadays too. They added it in 4.0.3. WoW Joust Questline
It actually replicates Joust almost perfectly, but in a 3D world.
