Circus Atari (1979)

Genres:Arcade, Simulator
Themes:Action, Comedy
Game modes:Single player
Story:3 rows of triangular balloons move along the top part of the screen, each overlaid with blue, green, and yellow (colors used in the original version), counting from the top row. A clown appears from the edge of the screen where there is a jumping board, and the player must move the seesaw located at the bottom of the screen so that the clown can bounce back off the seesaw once he jumps off from his starting position. If the player successfully gets the clown onto the seesaw, the clown on the other side shoots off into the air towards the 3 rows of balloons on the top of the screen. The clown may not have enough speed to reach the balloons if the first clown does not land squarely on the seesaw. Clowns bounce off of balloons, walls, and jumping boards, but will pass directly through multiple balloons if they are moving quickly enough. They will only bounce off the jumping boards when they are heading downwards, and will pass straight through the boards while moving upwards.Show more

Star Wars
Star WarsStar Wars is a first-person shoot 'em up based around the original Star Wars film. You take on the role of Luke Skywalker, aiming to destroy the Death Star - which, as any fan knows, involves attacking the 'weak spot' near the exhaust. To even get to this you have to pass swarms of TIE Fighters. Complete the game and it loops back around at ever-increasing difficulty. The game uses vector graphics, which allow lots of action at high speed on comparatively slow systems.

Stranded 3
Stranded 3Stranded III is the third part of the survival game franchise “Stranded” by Unreal Software. The game is currently in an early development stage. This website is used to blog about the latest progress and to keep you informed. Game Facts - Stranded III will have a multiplayer mode - It will have a story mode and random islands like Stranded II - I’m aiming for a style and gameplay which is slightly more realistic than Stranded II but this doesn’t exclude funny elements Engine, Technique, Requirements - Stranded III will use Unity 3D (v. 2017 or higher) as game engine - You will be able to mod nearly everything (even more modding opportunities and freedom than you had in Stranded II) - The scripting language is Lua combined with my own basic definition language - The requirements are uncertain. Unity 3D itself runs with most video cards though. You’ll be able to change settings to make it work with non-high-end PCs. Release, Platforms, Price - There is NO FIXED RELEASE DATE! Please don’t ask for it. I don’t know it and can’t estimate it! - Stranded III will be released for PC (Windows) first, but MacOS and Linux versions are possible (a Linux dedicated server is planned) - Mobile and console versions are NOT planned I will probably try Steam Direct for the release - The game will either be completely free or available for a low and affordable price
