I kind of want to make a stealth-Joust DCC module and see how long it takes for my players to figure it out. Not very long once they mount their flying goose and get their lance I imagine.
Oh man, I guess I should have remembered. I love Moon Patrol. Williams developed its own breakthrough hit with the release of 1980's Defender, whose gameplay, horizontal scrolling, and dynamic color influenced many subsequent games. It was followed by a sequel in 1981, Stargate, and a group of popular and influential titles: Joust, Robotron: 2084, Sinistar, and the licensed Moon Patrol.
Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.
Where did it all go wrong, Casey? I can’t pinpoint it, but it was already too late when they remade 3:10 to Yuma and took a movie that was mostly two men talking about morality in a hotel room and put in a Gatling gun.
This is reminding me that I've been wanting the old He-man mini comic compilation and might just push me over the edge.
ReplyDeleteUh, same.
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty DCC.
ReplyDeleteThis is my ideal Carcosa game

ReplyDeleteAlso interesting that Joust was Williams. I associate Williams with pinball, not video games.

They did Defender too IIRC. Edit: too late!
ReplyDeleteMust play D&D Joust.
