Although most Williams Electronics games in the 1980s used horizontal video monitors\, vertical monitors like those in Pac-Man and Galaga\n\n were very common. R ecognizing the need to create games that could be packaged as conversion k its for vertical cabinets\, Williams asked Joust designer John Newcomer to create a vertical-screen game. The result was Joust 2. Released during th e waning days of the golden age of arcade games\, Joust 2 did not achieve nearly the level of success that Joust had.\n\n\n\n Given the slowdown in the video game industry and the game's screen configuration\, Joust 2 was not made available to home systems of its time. The difficulty in locating operating arcade cabinets meant that video game fans were generally unabl e to play Joust 2 before 1997\, when Midway released the game as part of A rcade's Greatest Hits: The Midway Collection 2. It was later included on M idway Arcade Treasures in 2003.\n\n DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20181215 RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;INTERVAL=1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Global Gaming Expo DTSTAMP:20180712T161640Z SEQUENCE:0 UID:237-1-297719f2735048ae5849590ef9ad2c5e@forums.gameex.com ORGANIZER;CN="tthurman":spesoftforums@gameex.com DESCRIPTION:\n\n Global Gaming Expo (G2E)\, Where the Gaming Community C omes Together\n\n\n\n Set yourself up for success at Global Gaming Expo (G 2E)—the largest gathering of global\, commercial and tribal gaming profe ssionals in North America.

Sales of the console\, games and a ccessories pulled in $250 million on the first day\, beating the $97 milli on made on the first day of the Dreamcast. Directly after its release\, it was difficult to find PS2 units on retailer shelves due to manufacturing delays. Another option was purchasing the console online through auction w ebsites such as eBay\, where people paid over a thousand dollars for the c onsole. The PS2 initially sold well partly on the basis of the strength of the PlayStation brand and the console's backward compatibility\, selling over 980\,000 units in Japan by March 5\, 2000\, one day after launch. Thi s allowed the PS2 to tap the large install base established by the PlaySta tion — another major selling point over the competition. Later\, Sony ad ded new development kits for game developers and more PS2 units for consum ers. The PS2's built-in functionality also expanded its audience beyond th e gamer\, as its debut pricing was the same or less than a standalone DVD player.
