Circus Charlie 1984

Is it still worth playing?

In this 1984 arcade game a circus clown named Charlie performs six acts, each a different task. He rides a lion through flaming rings, walks a tightrope while jumping over monkeys and bounces between trampolines past knife throwers and fire breathers. Then he jumps from ball to ball, rides a horse over trampolines and walls, and swings from one trapeze to the next. Grabbing money bags and performing dangerous tricks earns points, and bonus points are awarded for the time left, while running out of time costs a life. After the sixth stage the game starts over, faster and harder, with the same tasks. Each act asks for one clear task, which makes it simple to pick up today.
