Play Joust VGA Online – MS-DOS Game

Game Overview

Ah, Joust VGA—a vibrant, feather-flapping revival of the arcade classic that somehow made ostrich jousting feel like the most intense sport ever! This MS-DOS gem took the simple but addictive premise of the original—knocking opponents off their birds mid-air—and gave it a crisp VGA makeover, with brighter colors and smoother animations that made the chaotic battles pop.

What’s not to love? You’re a lance-wielding knight riding a giant, flapping ostrich (or stork, if you’re player two), bouncing around lava pits and dodging enemy riders who play just as dirty as you do. The controls are easy to pick up but hard to master—timing your flaps just right to gain altitude is the difference between glorious victory and a faceplant into the molten abyss. It’s pure, old-school fun with a competitive edge, whether you’re battling AI or a friend in the ultimate avian showdown. If you miss the golden age of arcade simplicity with a dash of absurdity, Joust VGA is a nostalgia trip worth taking.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
