Joust

Joust is an Atari game, frequently referenced in relation to Killer Queen. The main combat mechanics, flying and sword positioning, are present in Killer Queen. As in Killer Queen, flying in Joust is performed by tapping the game's one button. When in combat with an opponent, or "jousting", the victor is determined by the height of a player's weapon when making contact with another character.

Unlike Killer Queen, however, no button need be pressed to "attack". The player's weapon, which in the case of Joust is a "lance", is always being deployed and need not be swung like the sword in KQ.
