Joust – Cane and Rinse No.278 Jul 24, 2017

Show notes

Recorded one day after the 35th anniversary of the game's arcade debut, the Cane and Rinse crusty crew remembers Williams' bizarre bird-battler Joust. Leon, Michiel and returning guest Dan Clark mull over the origins of John Newcomer's crazy concept, as well as trying to establish exactly what the game's legacy is, beyond Balloon Fight and Joust 2: Survival of the Fittest.

The panel - along with Cane and Rinse community correspondents also return to the tough as old boots sequel R-Type II, as well as its remixed but slowdown-plagued SNES counterpart, Super R-Type. Music used in this issue: 1. Opening Battle Theme by Masahito Ishizaki. 2. Nameless Soldiers by Masahiko Ishida.
