"Circus Charlie" is a classic arcade game developed by Konami, first released in 1984. It was subsequently ported to various platforms including MSX, Commodore 64, Famicom/NES, SG-1000, PlayStation, DS, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch. With its simple yet entertaining gameplay and challenging level design, it became a cherished memory for many players during their childhood.

The game allows up to two players to take turns playing, with each player starting with four lives. The gameplay features side-scrolling movement where the player controls Charlie the Clown, who must complete various circus acts while avoiding obstacles and enemies along the way. The graphics are vibrant, and the music is cheerful, fully capturing the lively atmosphere of a circus performance.

The controls are very straightforward, with the directional pad used for movement and the "A" button for jumping.

There are five main stages (with six in the arcade version), each requiring the player to complete all challenges within a limited time. As the game progresses, the difficulty increases, introducing more challenges and variations. Players must skillfully use jumping and movement techniques to complete the performances and achieve high scores.

In the first stage, Charlie rides a lion and must jump through a series of flaming hoops, timing his jumps to avoid getting burned. The second stage involves tightrope walking, where Charlie must avoid monkeys moving in the opposite direction while advancing forward. The speed and number of monkeys increase as the level progresses. The third stage has Charlie jumping on trampolines, timing his jumps to land on the next trampoline while avoiding fire-breathers and sword jugglers (this stage is removed in the Famicom/NES and MSX versions). The fourth stage requires Charlie to move from one rolling ball to another. The fifth stage has Charlie riding an automatically advancing horse, jumping over trampolines and walls, and moving with the horse to avoid falling. The final stage involves swinging on trapezes, where Charlie must time his jumps to catch the next trapeze.

There are two cheat codes in the game. In the first stage, if Charlie jumps backward through one of the flaming hoops, a special reward platform will appear. In the second stage, if Charlie jumps over each monkey vertically without getting hit, an eagle will appear to grant an extra life.

This game is renowned for its simple controls and diverse level design, making it one of the classic titles on the Famicom/NES. Although the game is challenging, with practice and skill mastery, players can gradually overcome the obstacles and experience the joy and sense of accomplishment that comes with performing circus acts.
