Had a friend taking offers on Joust 2. So whats the groups thought on the game. Is it awesome or a dud. What's the the general value of it. Thanks in advance.
 
play it and I think it would be a pass. Vertical joust is just wrong. I had one, took it to cax for a few years and was very happy to sell it to another collector.

Horrible.. really really REALLY horrible and that was from playing it in an original cab.

Edit: on the topic of 2nd generation WMS games I've warmed up to Mystic Marathon ;)

My #1 favorite game, I have 2 of them and I am always looking for more,
so the more haters there are the better :)
 
The game is fun and frantic. The cabinet design is totally cool. Gameplay is hard as hell though, but you can continue, or buy in at different levels in the game.

My impression is that some fans of Joust don't like it, because you can't play for an hour on 1 quarter like Joust. I think it's awesome, and it is one of the games in my collection that won't be leaving anytime soon.
 
Listen to this guy.

If I owned a Joust, I'd have no problems with owning a Joust 2. But I wouldn't want to own just a Joust 2.

Whereas, with Spy Hunter II, I'd rather just be shot.
 
I have one and I like it! It's cool! If you can get it go for it. It's different than joust. they seem to go for $800-$1200? It's not as hard to play as some think.
 
Hi, i have one for many years. If you like very challenging game this is it.
When i want to relax i play Joust but when i want something hard and challenging i play Joust 2
 
i think its a great game! i have no idea what they are worth.
 
I have a Joust 2 cab. Been converted to SFII........ I would like to deconvert it some day. But parts are hard to come by.
 
Can't that board get converted to Inferno or Mystic Marathon?

I think yes to mystic, but I was told inferno has flasher circuitry in it to make to lava sparkle. Mystic is a better game than joust 2. Itsonly problem is its too easy.

As for 2 player action, go withth orignal joust. Much better game.
