I love the game Joust and seem to recall awhile back mention of a version of it for the Mac. Is this true? Any info on this would be greatly appreciated.

I believe I can get a hold of it if you want it. -- patrick wong | McGill University monching@quiche.cs.mcgill.ca | School of Computer Science | Montreal, Quebec

Any info on this would be greatly >appreciated. I would recomend the shareware game Glypha. It plays just like Joust, but has an Egyptian motif (hyroglyphics on the walls, sphinx instead of vultures). It is a great game, certainly one of the best Shareware games I have seen.

Is this true? Any info on this would be greatly > appreciated. I just found an excellent rendition of this game in the Rice archives. It is called Glypha. It has an $8 shareware fee (well worth it I feel). If you can't access Rice, let me know and I will mail it to you. -- - - - - - - - - - + - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mark Gelinas | Merrimack College | USENET: samsung!hubdub!GELINASM

Eric,
I tried to e-mail you the hqx file but it was returned to me with a message
saying the service was unavailable. I used this address:
agc@mentor.cc.purdue.edu
In any case, I just got off sumex. You can ftp it from info-mac/game

It is true, there is a version of Joust available for the Mac. I`m not quite sure about its proper name, but I _am_ sure, You can find it in info_mac/games. It really is not too bad :-) I've seen it and the name of it starts with a G (Glyph, Gliph, something like that. Fairly decent game and good graphics. Ian Upright
