Circus Linux (Arcade) by Chui You may recognize Circus Linux as a remake of the classic arcade game, Circus, or as the better-known, Circus Atari on the Atari 2600. Originally, Circus Linux was made for (obviously) the Linux operating system. But, like most almost all Linux programs, the source code was made available for porting. Our excellent GP32 port was made by Chui. Circus Linux is similar to Breakout or Arkanoid in the respect that you have to pop the balloons on the top of the screen, while you have a "seesaw" on the bottom you have to bounce your partner to the top to pop the balloons. It's not as easy as it sounds, when you miss, your partner falls through the floor! Circus Linux is great fun with beautiful hand-drawn graphics, animated backgrounds, a catchy theme song, and good sound effects. Even though the original Circus Linux used the mouse for more precision, Chui has made the GP32 joypad control it very well. I like to play it in short bursts to beat my high score! In short, I recommend this game to anyone who likes simple, but fun arcade-styled games. Download Circus Linux from GP32x.de
