Joust

Does Joust run on R36S?

Yes. Atari Lynx games are rated Perfect on the R36S (RK3326): they generally run at full speed.

Full-speed on all R36 models. Rotated games need a display-rotation option in the emulator.

Wider than both R36 screens, so it shows with bars at the top and bottom on every model.

Ratings are estimates for the whole Atari Lynx library on the RK3326 chip, not a test of this one title. Compare R36 models

📱About the Atari Lynx

The Lynx was the first colour backlit handheld, launched in 1989 with hardware scaling and rotation the Game Boy could not touch. It could also be held either way up for left-handed players. Battery life and price sank it.
