Game of the Season Winter 2000

Clowns by / Bally Midway

Ahh, this was one of the very first C64 games I ever played, around my friends house. It's a varient of Breakout but with some extras. There are three rows of balloons which you have to burst by making the clowns fly up into the air and burst them with their head! After you get rid of a row you get bonus points and the row magically reappears. Burst all the top row and you get a bonus life as well. It's a very tricky game but one that you just have to have "one more go". As a kid I used to be able to score over 10,000 but I can only get to 5000 these days.

Instructions

The original cartridge only worked with paddles (remember them?) but this cracked version seems to work with joysticks as well. When one of the clowns is falling to the ground move the see-saw below him so that he falls on the empty side and then his partner will fly up into the air etc.

Playing the Game

You can control the see-saw with paddles or a joystick in port 2 (or equivalent keys on your PC)

LEFT = Moves the see-saw to the left
RIGHT = Moves the see-saw to the right
F1 = Start the game (and select one player, F3 for two players)
