Circus Atari

Circus Atari

At the top of the screen, three rows of triangular balloons move, each overlaid with the colors blue, green and yellow (colors used in the original version), counting from the top row. A clown appears at the edge of the screen where there is a springboard, and the player must move the seesaw at the bottom of the screen so that the clown can jump back from the seesaw once it has jumped from its starting position. If the player manages to get the clown onto the seesaw, the clown will shoot up into the air on the other side to the 3 rows of balloons at the top of the screen. The clown may not have enough speed to reach the balloons if the first clown does not land exactly on the seesaw. Clowns bounce off balloons, walls and diving boards, but can go right through several balloons if they are fast enough. They only bounce off the diving boards when they move down, and go right through the boards when they move up.
