You're right.

They've adjusted the year now, and here are the data for producer/publisher:

Joust VGA is a fanmade remake. So, basically every reference to Williams Electronics and Atari should be edited out of the review.

The 1983 PC Port (by Atari) was a Booter and actually better in my eyes than this VGA remake...

Well, but the VGA version of the game comes much closer to the Mame-version which I really enjoyedm playing... still have it installed with an emulator...

Sorry simpletons, but the game presents a VGA option to play with. The only information provided about the year of the game was given to me via what was in the Important Announcements section.

Go trumble your misplaced elitism over there.

For download is Joust VGA, not the original atari port Joust!

I just explained it in the post you quoted, Jesus.

I think the two references to the 80's

Joust is a rather beloved gamed, as far as classic arcade titles go, and ports of it are inevitable. Atari's 1983 attempt is actually pretty solid

and

it's probably best to mention it since I doubt you're reading this review on a 1980s era IBM PC

should be changed to avoid further confusion

Err, no: you say "The game presents a VGA option to play with". That's NOT an option, it's the way this game is, hence the name Joust VGA. This remake has nothing to do with "Atari's 1983 attempt which is actually pretty solid"...

So, what I'm saying is: you uploaded Joust VGA, reviewed it as if it was the 1983 original PC port then complained about it's lousy controls (which are true for the remake Joust VGA, but not for the 1983 Atari solid port called Joust). See the confusion you're creating?
