.SH NAME
|
|
circuslinux \- Clone of the Atari 2600 game "Circus Atari"
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B circuslinux
|
|
[\fIoptions...\fR]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
"Circus Linux!" is a clone of the Atari 2600 game "Circus Atari," produced
|
|
by Atari, Inc. (which is itself a clone of an earlier arcade game named,
|
|
simply "Circus").
|
|
.P
|
|
The object is to move a teeter-totter back and forth across the screen
|
|
to bounce clowns up into the air. When they reach the top, they pop rows
|
|
of balloons and then fall back down.
|
|
.P
|
|
(The gameplay is similar to the classics "Breakout" and "Arkanoid.")
|
|
.P
|
|
During gameplay, the mouse or joystick is used to move the teeter\-totter,
|
|
and any mouse/joystick button is used to launch a new clown (to start the
|
|
level) and to flip the teeter\-totter (after a clown has been launched).
