This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in /usr/share/doc/circuslinux/README.txt.gz "Circus Linux!" is based on the Atari 2600 game "Circus Atari" by Atari,released in 1980. Gameplay is similar to "Breakout" and "Arkanoid"- you
slide a device left and right to bounce objects into the air which destroy
a wall.
