Join the Circus

[Rainman]

I shared many great memories with my older brother playing an arcade version of the game "Circus Charlie". It was awesome. I later learned that this was actually an MSX game as well (the other day in fact). I was just wondering if any of you guys have had the pleasure of playing such a game. To me, it symbolizes all that makes a video game great and I was looking for a second opinion.

And yes, I know this is kinda irrelevant, but it is a "General Board".

Finally! I am not alone! I have also always enjoyed Circus Charlie. On mame, on the MSX and on all those illegal NES copycat machines.

Gotta find that game and have a go. Are these formats the best?

The MSX version is as good as any other (maybe except for the arcade version).

Axeman, if you have never played the game, prepare for a clown (charlie) in a circus, and a growing hatred towards jumping monkeys ;-)

I'm a big fan of Circus Charlie too. For such a simple game, it's chock full of playability. Plus a few secrets too.
