I know...everyone just saw John McAllister hit 107 Million, but I've been working on my Joust play for months. I picked up several strategies from Steve Sanders, Mark Kiehl, and a couple from John this week. I hit 992K a couple weeks ago and it was a bad beat. Finally cracked 1 Million this afternoon, and then just played to a million on Justin.tv this evening.

I don't know how someone can play a game for 50 hours. One hour for a million was tough enough!

Here's a shot of my first million point score:

Here's a link to my Justin.tv page with the video of my second game on it: http://www.justin.tv/jeffsgames/videos

I have a feeling after John's run we'll see a lot of us hit 1 million really soon! I'm going to start working on my TG Tournament Settings game (5 lives no extras). I hit over 300K with those settings at one point, but I want to hit a million that way some day. The high score is 1.4 million on those settings which blows my mind.
 
Nice, mine is 19mill. I never timed it but it was a long time!

Wow that's a great score! Probably took you about 10 hours.

I just played one last game for the weekend. Broke one million again. That makes three games out of four that I broke a million. I wish I was this consistent in other games. I keep inching up higher. Hopefully I'll turn a corner and be able to start stacking lives for 10+ million scores.
 
Congrats, nice score! Thanks for sharing the video.. It's interesting to see how people make different strategies work for them. I haven't yet scored over 500k, but I'm hoping to have more time to play over the winter so I'll see if I can hit a million. I won't film it though - I swear like a truck driver when I'm playing Joust. :eek:

My play style is more like a bull in a china shop. I make it way harder than it should be. I hate watching how easy some of these other guys make it look. I am slowly getting better at maintaining "control" over the more difficult levels. I still have to work on my ability to take back a level that gets out of hand, like where there are 8 shadow lords and a Ptery flying around. I've learned some spots to go to kill off a few of them, but just can't seem to handle this type of scenerio without dying a few times.
 
Congrats, Jeff! From the looks of it, you'll be able to "name your score" soon! Then you can move on to 5-man only scores. Hopefully I will own a Joust cab one of these days.

Yeah it was an all day affair. I was certainly sick of pressing the flap button and turned the machine off with a lot of lives left.

Once you have things sorted you can play for ages. It won't be long beifre you crack 2 mill IMO.

I know what you mean. If I get killed while waiting in position to kill the pterodactyls, by the time I respawn I have a screen full of shadow lords and 2 pterodactyls flying around and they just totally kick my ass.

I played a game of Joust tonight and hit 798200, so I'm getting there. :)
 
Finally, 2 years later... ;)

After not playing Joust for months, I fired it up yesterday and had a mediocre game. Then again this morning I played a game and actually broke 1 million for the first time. At around 998000 my joystick 'right' stopped working too. It's probably just a dirty leaf switch, but what a time for that to happen!
 
Nice Job! That's funny that the stick stopped working at that score. Maybe you were sweating too much!
 
Here is a couple of my scores as of current,No im not the best but i would like to think so.BITD,i think my highest score was over 8 million,and i could have kept going but just got to tired.

Nice game DAD! I was never very good at Joust though the game is just great fun. I need to get some games that are respectable for high scores.
 
So whats the trick on killing the pterodactyl ?

Nice score and video !

If you miss killing the pterodactyl at the start,best thing to do is clear the wave as fast as possible,if you keep trying to kill it you will get nailed by all the other enemies on that wave.
