(5/10)

A lackluster circus themed multi event genre game which isn't even close to par when compared to the EPYX classics. Graphics and sounds are passable to quite good in places but the core gameplay is both frustrating and unrewarding due in no small part to the lousy controls.
Circus Attractions released a year later by Rainbow Arts was far superior if you fancy a circus themed multi event game.

@TWR: Thos Tynesoft games make you wonder if the programmers were interested in what they were doing in the first place... I bet some of them never been to a circus.

Like all the Tynesoft's "sports-games" this one has got terrific graphics. Looks very nice... But is awfully boring to play. Shame.
