Atari’s fourth and final game from July 1980 follows in the footsteps of games like Night Driver, Outlaw, Indy 500 and numerous others in being a home conversion of a 1970s arcade game that is much, much better known today by its VCS counterpart. And much like Outlaw before it, Circus Atari – or the much more direct Sears title, Circus – is an unlicensed version of another company’s original; in this case it’s Exidy’s 1977 arcade game simply named Circus.
