Actual Entry (non editable)
Circus (c) 1977 Exidy. POP! POP! POP! Pop the balloons and score points. A wall of yellow, green and blue balloons will appear at the top of the screen. You must pop balloons by catching a clown on the teeter-totter and bouncing him up to the balloons. - TECHNICAL - Circus came in an upright dedicated cabinet, and may have also been available in a cocktail configuration as well. Circus machines had white sides with red painted sideart of several balloons in flight. The front of the machine was decorated with a large ornate monitor bezel that also doubled as a marquee (or nameplate), this bezel showed several clowns in a circus scene and had the game title spelled out with multicolored balloons. The control panel was unadorned, save for an analog spinner and a start button. The whole machine was finished off in black t-molding. Once inside the machine, you can see that it uses a black and white monitor with a colored overlay (to make the balloons have color). Main CPU : MOS Technology M6502 (@ 705.562 Khz) Sound Chips : Discrete circuitry Screen orientation : Horizontal Video resolution : 248 x 256 pixels Screen refresh : 57.00 Hz Palette colors : 2 Players : 2 Control : paddle - TRIVIA - Released in January 1977, Circus was one of the first games produced by Exidy that used a CPU (6502) to control the game logic instead of hand-crafted hard-coded logic circuits. At least 13,000 units, possibly as many as 20,000, were produced. A bootleg was made by Sub-Electro. - SCORING - Successful jump : 10 points Popping Yellow Balloon : 20 points Popping Green Balloon : 50 points Popping Blue Balloon : 100 points Bonus for Clearing Yellow Balloon Row : 200 points Bonus for Clearing Green Balloon Row : 500 points Bonus for Clearing Blue Balloon Row : 1,000 points plus free jump - STAFF - Designed and programmed by : Edward Valeau, Howell Ivy - PORTS - * CONSOLES: Atari 2600 (1978) * COMPUTERS: VTech Laser-VZ (1983) Tandy Color Computer (1982) "Clowns & Balloons" Commodore C64 Vic-20 - SOURCES - ROM dump (MAME).
