My game was Fast Ms Pacman. You know, where she goes super fast and the ghosts go normal speed. 
Never plyed Joust, but I've seen it.

If you hit the pterodactyl just right with your lance you could kill it. It made a loud screech and appeared like it was electrocuted and then it died. I managed to do that once...Comment

Re: Joust?
Yeah, a lot of fun. I think this is a game that would do well with a high-performance, 3-D remake with all of today's bells and whistles.Originally posted by lord of the mark
Anyone ever play joust?"Perhaps a new spirit is rising among us. If it is, let us trace its movements and pray that our own inner being may be sensitive to its guidance, for we are deeply in need of a new way beyond the darkness that seems so close around us." --MLK Jr.Comment

It was nearly impossible to do because the winged beast moved so fast. The lance had to go right in its mouth.Originally posted by DarkCloud

In the early versions of the game (yes, arcade machines went through versions) you could kill ptery after ptery quite easily (possible on wave 4 and after, up until wave ~20, when the troll gets too strong):
1. Have one of your enemies captured by the troll. The troll will hold him down while you kill the rest.
2. With the last bad guy still being held, land on the bottom-middle shelf. Wait for the ptery. He'll come out, and, while you're just standing there, he'll perfectly align his mouth with your lance. Repeat until you're freakin sick and tired of killing the stupid things, or until you get ~250 men, whichever comes first. Do not go above 255 men, as you will lose them all.

Bit me twice on Robotron: 2084, both around 25,000,000 points. I got the state record but was going for the national record.

In Robotron? Loser.
I've even broken a million points on MAME using the keyboard, difficulty level 5/extra men every 20,000 points. Not bad for a 36 year old fart.

Actually, I was talking about JOUST... I don't think I've ever played/or heard of Robotron.
I played Galaga and Joust almost exclusively
