* In ''VideoGame/ConquerorsBlade'', lancers are the most common type of cavalry, with 10 of the game's 24 mounted units carrying lances. Lancers are used to perform devastating charges that can flatten enemies or send them flying. Special mention goes to the Winged Hussars, who have the longest lances in the game (longer than most ''pikes''), and the Chevaliers, French knights who use actual jousting lances and armor.
** The Spear weapon for heroes can also perform a sort of jousting charge from horseback, although it's not very effective.

* ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsJudgment'': Granteed's "Tempest Lancer" attack takes this form, creating a jousting lance made of pure energy to stab the enemy.

The jousting lance is an iconic weapon used by medieval knights and is the [[WeaponSpecialization weapon of choice]] for many fictional characters with a {{knight|InShiningArmor}}ly [[BlackKnight theme]], especially if they also wear heavy armor (be it plate armor or a [[WeWillWearArmorInTheFuture futuristic]] [[PoweredArmor version]]), [[LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe carry a large shield]], and ride a horse or its modern/speculative fiction equivalent such as a CoolBike, {{dragon|Rider}}, or HumongousMecha. If a user of this kind of lance has a {{Rival}} or ArchEnemy, expect the latter to be given the same weapon so they can settle their issues with an old-fashioned joust. [[HeroesPreferSwords Swords]], axes, and [[DropTheHammer warhammers]] all have their place, but nothing quite beats a [[PhallicWeapon big pointy object]] designed to [[DoubleEntendre penetrate]] your target by charging at high speed.
