Circus - (1977) - Arcade - gameplay HD

[@mrmoore1970]

Listening to “Computer Game” by Yellow Magic Orchestra brought me here. Awesome!

[@vghchannel]

Cool. I checked out that song... that's alot of fun. Totally pulled in the original circus sounds and made something new & funky. Good call.

[@gilbertozo]

So have I.

This was one of the arcade games at the first Chuck E. Cheese location at San Jose, CA (Winchester Blvd).

Nice! I grew up with a Chuck E. Cheese about 15 minutes away. I remember seeing random new games there almost every time I went.

Putting a few games like this together would make for a great music track....oh wait!!

[@pattiamelotte]

Is there an app for this game? It’s my favorite!

[@vghchannel]

Not sure... good question. I used to play on Atari 2600, this was just off the MAME emulator. Without a real paddle controller, not as good. A touchscreen might be a good way to play... lemme know if you run across a good app.

I wrote "Circus Linux!" (which was also ported to Windows and a ton of other systems) way back in 2000. (And today my son started writing a Circus / Circus Atari / Circus Linux! clone with Scratch. Chip off the ol' block!)

@@billkendrick1 can I use it on a Mac? (I’m not a computer person, sorry if it’s a dumb question!)oh boy I’d love to get to play it again! Thanks for replying. Glad the apple didn’t fall far from the tree!

[@billkendrick1]

@@pattiamelotte It was ported to Mac OS X ages ago, so probably won't work. But I think it simply needs to re-built for the newer macOS. (Apple keeps breaking things, ugh)

I thought an ambulance came out to pick him up

[@vghchannel]

Could be a different variation or update? There were all sorts of ports and changes. If I come across one with an ambulance I'll let you know which version that was.

its a see saw not a tramopoline

[@vghchannel]

Doh! Of course. That's why I stopped talking and playing...
