Buzzard Bait is a Joust clone, written by the Rugby Circle group, and sold through Tom Mix Software.
Joust was one of the first arcade games to actually have a 2 player mode where the players both play against each other,
and try to help one another, depending on which wave they are on. This version is a little closer to the original arcade
version (compared to Spectral Associates Lancer) as far as nuances go; it actually has the lava troll's arm coming up from the firepit (on later waves) to grab anybody (players
or computer controlled fliers) who flies too close to the lava. I always preferred Lancer's "more realistic"
flying, even though it is a lot slower of a game than Buzzard Bait.
NOTE: I have been notified that there were two versions released; the difference being that the pterodactyl
made a sound when rushing you in the later version.
