    CIRCUS CIRCUS SIMULATOR v1.0b (21/March/2001) MS-DOS (freeware)

    =====================================================================

  This program simulates the machine CBM/Q&Q's Game & Watch Circus Circus
  (made in 1981?).
  To execute the game you have to write from DOS:

  Circus <options>, where options are:
  -s, activates sound (activated by defect).
  -ns, disables the sound.
  -v, synchronizes the game with the sweeping of the monitor.
  -nv, so that there is not this synchrony (activated by defect).  

  So that Circus Circus goes correctly I don't believe that they are
  necessary very powerful computers (I suppose that it's enough a
  pentium 100).
  The game uses the resolution 640x480 with 256 colors (the graphic mode
  is detected automatically). The sound card can be detected automatically.
  If you activate the synchrony option with the screen (not necessary
  I think) make sure the graphic mode has frequency of 60 Hz, because if
  not the surest thing is the speed of the game is not appropriate.

  Circus Circus is programmed totally in C with DJGPP using libraries ALLEGRO
  and SEAL audio.
  Although it seems to work good under Windows 9X/ME, it is thought for
  MS-DOS. The executable circus.exe should go accompanied by the file
  circus.dat and six circXX.wav sound files.

  I don't become responsible for any kind of damage that this program can
  cause you, use it to your risk ;-)
  By the way, I don't have anything to do with CBM/Q&Q, I program as hobby.
