Circus Games

Circus Games, also known as Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus Games, is a multi-event sports game published by Tynesoft in 1988. Players compete in four circus disciplines: Tightrope Walking, where you cross the screen balancing a pole and performing flips; Trapeze, where you perform stunts while swinging between bars; Trick Horse Riding, where you maintain balance while doing acrobatics on a galloping horse; and Tiger Taming, where you command tigers to climb pedestals and jump through flaming hoops using a whip and chair. Up to four players can compete alternately .

DOS

Released in 1989 by Tynesoft, the DOS version supports CGA graphics modes and runs on floppy disk . This port preserves all four circus disciplines with singleplayer only . The Tiger Taming event requires managing both chair and whip commands to keep the tigers performing tricks without attacking. Graphics are presented in the CGA color palette, resulting in simpler visuals compared to 16-bit versions. Sound is delivered through the PC speaker with basic effects rather than the enhanced music found on Amiga or Atari ST ports. A functional but visually stripped-down conversion of this creative circus-themed sports title for DOS owners.
