Big Top is a circus-themed platform game for IBM PC compatibles. It was programmed by Michael Abrash and published by Funtastic in 1983 as a self-booting disk.
Gameplay
Big Top has a circus theme. Levels are called rings. Each ring spans at least two screens and has an upper and lower level. Obstacles include evil clowns, cannons, and rolling barrels.
Reception
A review in PCMag was complementary, calling the game "a lovely piece of work, a beautifully designed, barrel-of-monkeys worth of fun."[1]
