EPISODE 6: CIRCUS ATARI
- EPISODE 6: CIRCUS ATARI William Pepper 13:38
OH, THE CLOWN-MANITY! In this 1980 Atari game, clown after clown face-plants under the Big Top trying to bounce off a trampoline onto a teeter-totter. After then leaping from the teeter-totter and popping some balloons, you, player, are supposed to catch them. But you can’t. Because you stink at this game. Or maybe…it’s serial clown murder. Either way, this is good, family, slaughter-fun. Pass the circus peanuts and let’s do this.
WARNING: At about the ten minute-thirty-eight-second mark, I more or less spoil the ending to Stephen King’s DARK TOWER novel series. It seemed like a good idea at the time. You might want to skip from about 10:37 to 10:47. Sorry.
My thanks to Kevin McLeod at Incompetech.com for the use of his songs “Take a Chance”, “Reformat” and “Pinball Spring”.
