Joust added to Backwards Compatibility!!

Even though most people will write this one off (I almost did), Joust is important for BC purposes. I actually had to go check on TrueAchievements and see if I had even played it.  Well, about 9 years ago, I did.  LOL.  So, yeah I’ve got a digital copy and I will benefit from this.  Achievements are pretty nuts too, and I don’t expect to see myself spending too much time with it.  But…this serves two purposes.  1)This is a delisted game.  True, the assets were scooped up by Warner Bros, but this might give hope to other Midway games making it to 360 BC (Stranglehold, I’m looking at you).  2)This might or might not play if you insert Midway Arcade Origins in your Xbox One, a compilation 360 title that was released in 2012.  I’ve played that one as well and the only reason it might not load is that Midway Arcade Origins had its own set of achievements, therefore it might considered a separate game.  Anyway, I’ll include a brief update later when I’ve tried the Midway Origins disc.  I’ll give it a 25% shot.  Later.

Friday morning edit:  Midway Arcade Origins will not load Joust in your Xbox One.  Tried it last night and welp, sorry.  Didn’t think it would because of the different achievements, but I tried.
