Aim to pop balloons and score points by launching clowns into the air with a teeter-totter. That's how Circus Atari brought a fun and timeless concept - originally created by Exidy - to the world of home system gaming.

Nevertheless, this game goes beyond mere simplicity and challenges your skills and strategic thinking. With a total of five clowns at your disposal, each one counts.

Failing to catch a clown on the teeter-totter results in a comical crash and their swift departure from the playfield. But fear not, as you can quickly introduce a replacement clown by pressing the controller button, launching them from the trampoline located at the playfield's corners. However, a bit of finesse is required to ensure that each new clown lands on an unoccupied part of the teeter-totter, preventing unwanted collisions.

Circus's unique charm lies in its evergreen appeal. Many other companies have attempted to replicate its enchantment by releasing similar games under various monikers. Yet, the Atari version and Clowns on the Vic-20 remain close to my heart as personal favorites.

Again, Despite its straightforward concept, the Atari title offers a surprising level of strategy that keeps you entertained. Time your jumps with precision to position yourself strategically between the rows of balloons. This allows you to maximize your balloon-popping efficiency within the limited timeframe, scoring as many points as possible in just a few seconds.

Additionally, making effective use of the side trampolines is essential. By allowing either clown to land there, you can create a momentary respite from the frantic action when needed, providing a brief pause to regroup from the psychological pressure of preventing the clowns from crashing to the playfield.

And truly, there's a unique satisfaction in skillfully popping the row of red balloons situated above the blue and yellow ones. Not only is it the most challenging row to clear, but the reward includes bonus points and, more importantly, an extra life.

Without a doubt, it's a classic and a game I continue to relish even today.

I am currently having fun streaming The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past on my Youtube channel. Its been over 20 years I have played this game and I feel like it was just yesterday. It still feels so fun.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is an action-adventure game developed and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Released on November 21, 1991, in Japan, and April 13, 1992, in North America, the game follows the hero Link as he embarks on a quest to save the land of Hyrule from the dark wizard Agahnim and the evil Ganon. Featuring an expansive world, innovative gameplay mechanics, and a compelling story, it is often hailed as one of the greatest video games of all time.

50 years ago, Atari released Pong and changed video games forever. A year later they innovated, taking Pong to the next level by putting it inside a barrel. As noted in the promotional flyer for arcades, Barrel-Pong is "a low-key cabinet conceived for the better-type bar."

Have you played Atari in-a-barrel today?
