WIP:

- 0.145u8: Tafoid changed description of clone 'Circus (Sub-Electro bootleg)' to 'Springboard (bootleg of Circus)'. Renamed (circusse) to (springbd). Comment: Thanks for GregF for pointing out the numerous sources which list "Springboard" as the game name and an obvious bootleg of circus (http://flyers.arcade-museum.com/?page=flyer&db=videodb&id=2600&image=1).

- 0.145u1: hap tweaked layout in Circus.

- 0.141u3: hap improved interrupt handling: Circus generates them the same way as Ripcord (based on sprite-bg collision), Robot Bowl doesn't generate interrupts at all. Fixed invisible walls during the game and demo, lined up with the edges of the platforms where the guy. Fixed when you first time run a game your jumper float to the upper edge of screen.

- 7th November 2010: Twisty - New Circus Samples available. This was recently recorded from an authentic Circus machine by Jun Kitamura. Jun Kitamura: Hello. I recorded the sound effects of "circus" from game machine at "Natsukashi-Yokocyou" in Japan (http://homepage2.nifty.com/totochan/y-natsuyoko2.html).

- 17th February 2007: Aaron Giles - I've got some exciting news. In addition to allowing the free distribution of Teeter Torture from this site, H. R. Kauffman, the president of Xidy, Inc. (formerly Exidy), has agreed to allow us to distribute many of the older released Exidy games here as well! So, over the next few weeks, we will be featuring many games from the Exidy lineup here on the site. The first of these is the classic game Circus, released in 1977. Look for more games to appear shortly. Ultimately, it would be awesome if some of the bigger companies would recognize the historical significance of some of their older titles and allow them to be enjoyed by a wider audience in this manner.
