I know that killing the pterodactyl in Atari's version of Joust
for home computers is no easy task.  You have to try to spear it in
the mouth.  However my brother, and I have discovered that you can
kill it by flying into it from the rear, pretending the tail is the
mouth.  I have not perfected it yet, but I think that if you do not flap
when you hit it, then you will kill it, otherwise you die.
If anyone else has any new ideas, please post to the net.  Thanks.
