Arcade Classic No. 4 - Defender & Joust — About this game
Switch between two aerial arcade battles. Defender asks you to protect people from abductors, rescue falling residents and clear attackers while using smart bombs sparingly. Joust replaces lasers with height control: flap above an enemy’s lance, make contact from the higher position and collect its egg before another knight emerges. Options adjust difficulty and offer a larger scrolling view for Joust. Choose Defender or Joust with Left/Right and START. In Defender move with the pad, shoot A and watch for endangered residents. In Joust practise short A flaps to stay just above opponents; turn Rapid Flap on in Options if you want B as an emergency lift.
