Once the enemy has been hit, an egg falls to one of the platforms below. The heroic knights must destroy the eggs before they hatch and release new and increasingly more difficult knights. The three strengths of enemy knights are Bounder (red knight), Hunter (white knight), and Shadow Lord (blue knight). These enemy knights are not the only challenge to be found in the game. Players must also contend with crumbling platforms, lava trolls who attempt to pull knights into the fire, and the dreaded \"unbeatable\"(?) pterodactyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe game was novel for its time for being one of the few two-player simultaneous games in the arcade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"gameSeries\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Nintendo","offers":[{"title":"Complete in Box","offer_id":51277581058281,"sku":"040458200010A","price":69.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Game \u0026 Case","offer_id":51277581091049,"sku":"040458200010B","price":64.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Custom Case with Game","offer_id":51277581123817,"sku":"040458200010C","price":24.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Game Cartridge Only","offer_id":51277581156585,"sku":"040458200010D","price":17.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/8179\/8121\/files\/image_2026-06-15_140608976.png?v=1781553975","url":"https:\/\/zyphertradingvideogames.com\/products\/joust-nes-nintendo-entertainment-system","provider":"ZypherTrading","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
