I hated, when I first saw it and recongnized that the Eggs were floating around instead of falling down. But with a bit of Distance and playing it again, it was Fun. It's not as good as the 7800- or 8-Bit-Computer-Versions, but it's a decent Game, which I now play regularly. Still, a Remake with the Powers of the Melody-Boards couldn't be wrong... (Hello SpiceWare and Champ Games!)

Surprised to see a port this descent for Joust, on the 2600. It's simplistic, with less platforms, but really does have the game play down, close to the original.
