Joust

1982's Joust was one of the first video games to popularize two-player cooperative play. Featuring knights mounted on flying ostriches, players wage war with an army of buzzard-mounted adversaries. The key to successful engagements is to touch enemies only when you are higher than them.

In celebration of the holiday weekend, we're serving up a special sundae: The Red White and Blue!

The Red White and Blue starts with three mini-scoops of strawberry, vanilla, and blueberry cheesecake ice cream. We top it off with fresh strawberries and blueberries, along with a dollop of homemade whipped cream.

After eating a full belgian waffle sundae single-handedly as a nightcap, one of our staffers woke from a fever dream with a vision for a new ice cream flavor based on a popular cinnamon cereal.

We've forged this vision into a reality and we've named it Cinnamon Boast Bunch.

It's an original creation, like Rickey Rouse and Monald Muck.
