About this game
You are Charlie, a member of a circus troupe.
Your job is to please the crowd by performing five death-defying stunts: Stunt #1: You and the lion must jump through several rings of fire.

Remember to avoid the jugs that emit fire.
You must do this for 100 meters.
Stunt #2: Walk the tightrope for 70 meters, avoiding the monkeys that get in your way.
Jump the cyan monkeys for 500 points.
Stunt #3: Roll on a ball for 80 meters, jumping from ball to ball.
You can move balls backwards if the target is too close to make a successful jump.
Avoid contact with the ground.
Stunt #4: Ride a horse for 200 meters, bouncing on trampolines along the way.
Be careful not to miss the jump or go over the tops of trampolines.
You can speed up or slow down the horse.
Stunt #5: Finally, trapeze from swing to swing for 50 meters.
If you miss, make sure that you land on the platforms below so you bounce back on a swing.
Once you have completed all five stunts, you have to do them again and hopefully, more points will be awarded.
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks Circus Charlie for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Circus Charlie to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NES release dates back to 1984.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
