Circus Charlie (Arcade original version) | 21-round session for 1 Player 🤡🕹️👾

[@unappealingundesirable2826]

I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Japanese-American and male. Hearing the Easy music, takes me back to the arcade on Broadway, where I played this for the first time, when I was 11 years old!

[@crism8868]

The NES port is a certified famiclone classic, and this arcade version has nice sound and graphics

[@nishantshade668]

It feels like the arcade version is more of an upgraded version

[@retrofan4963]

@@nishantshade668 Well, the Arcade version came out first. The NES/Famicom version is a port.

[@nishantshade668]

@@retrofan4963 ohh, it's strange. The arcade version seems more advanced than the NES one even though the NES came out later.

[@retrofan4963]

@@nishantshade668 Yeah, that's usually the case. Arcades have more powerful hardware and software than the NES. NES lmitations at the time prevented the ports to be perfectly as accurate as the original Arcade version of the games.

[@chuemmmeechuemmmee7540]

Upgraded version? What does the meaning?

[@circuscharlie54]

This game is inspiration for my nickname

[@ThunderFist1978]

A friend of mine showed me, on an arcade cabinet, how to play this game to perfection. He played each stage in turn until it wouldn’t allow him to play it anymore. That is to say, he played the first stage repeatedly until he was forced to choose another one, then went on to stage 2 until he couldn’t play it anymore, and so on, until he completely finished the game.

having only ever played the FC and MSX versions, I never thought the arcade version would look quite this pretty

[@Freejack1971]

After playing this game for 30 years, it never occurred to me that I can just go backwards on the trampolines once before pressing forward thru the jugglers.

[@ShosuCeladon]

I remember seeing that in a video but forgot I could do that. Imagine the agony multiplying after I relrearned that.

[@TheStuffMade]

Such a happy game, always one of my favorites.

[@andiarrohnds5163]

stunning use of colors and excellent pixel art. this would have looked amazing on a fresh, new, original CRT display. this title is definitely historic

[@Classixish]

the music for the Tightrope and Ball games is pretty catchy

[@sergey_molchanovsky]

Arcade version is much more beautiful than NES version, and the music is better.

[@stuleyland9490]

Fun fact. The high score names are all Japanese motorcycles.

[@MarcBarkyMarta]

CBR is proudly on top, haha

[@勝弘大沢]

オレが小３のころ馴染みの銭湯の脱衣場にこのゲエム機ありました。１面のスタート地点でレバーを左に向けながらジャンプボタンを４回押せば、１アップさせた先輩がいた。その先輩はサアカスチャアリイ、少林寺への道、ソンソンがうまかった‼️名前知らなかったからその先輩に少林寺への道のしょ。ソンソンのソ。サアカスチャアリイのサ。そしてうまいのう。で、しょそさう‼️と言うあだ名を付けました。

[@tippycanoe99]

Next year will be this game's 40th anniversary.

[@GoldBallTV]

Wow he turns into a million clowns at the end! 😅

[@dima_ab8800]

1:16 Dk . Jr is that really you?

[@El_Diablo1680]

Only Trampoline stage is missing from the NES/Famicom version.

[@MooseCall]

Just beautiful

[@SG-cm7zq]

They did not include the best music from MSX and NES version; level 1 music.

[@luisreyes1963]

A sadistic and hard game by Konami. And i finally got to see the rumored "secret stage" involving dolphins. If only Konami would give the rights to Circus Charlie to a new publisher to make a redone HD version of that game. 🎈

[@unappealingundesirable2826]

It goes without saying, you're GREAT! As a result, we never see you "lose a life." But, I have words for the song, when one loses a life (which I did all the time, even on Easy): "He just laid his head down, and he went to sleep!" "If I just lie my head down, I will fall asleep!"

[@dickiegreenleaf750]

Never played this one but looks fun

[@unappealingundesirable2826]

2:00 Up on the housetop, reindeer pause, Out jumps good old Santa Claus!

Childhood

[@baslieldereje1713]

It is a Japanese version of arcade game circus charlie

[@ВладимирПротопопов-э4з]

Игра очень жизненная. Пока шею не сломаешь, так и будешь в цирке прыгать. Никакой хорошей концовки не жди, лучше брось пока жив и пойди погуляй на улице)))

[@danielwalters2045]

This arcade music sound very close to its NES counter parts

[@JosesPost]

Charlie deserves to be in Smash Bros 🤞🏻

[@stonetic2515]

I never noticed before but this is a reskin of Track & Field.

[@comodibujarmuchascosas6115]

Huh it isnt?

[@Kotkipish]

У нас не такой был цирк, такого я вообще не видел.

[@ГлэмМеталлист]

@@Kotkipishэто аркадная версия, понятное дело, что аркадных автоматов с этой игрой у нас не было.

[@Maki_Kirishima]

蠻美的🤩 Beautiful🤩

[@sahelebrahimal-wasti4829]

I play this version on the ps1.

What a masterpiece

[@VahanNisanian]

Who here thinks this Arcade game unfairly gets hated on? I do.

[@georgejackson4426]

It's because of that old JonTron video about bootleg Plug N Plays.

[@VahanNisanian]

@@georgejackson4426 Actually, I thought it was due to John Sellers, author of "Arcade Fever", shitting all over it. He did so in a mini-article that talked about failed cute characters in games.

[@unappealingundesirable2826]

1:10 This sounded a lot like the song of the cartoon Little Rascals!

[@rohitbhargava2648]

My childhood is abusing me 😂😂😂
