What an awesome game. I really hope they make more, and that this is the start of a new generation of "retro" games. What's up with the unicycle? Can you only shoot the spokes or something?
Yeah it is a fantastic game for sure, they we’re supposed to do more, there is slink to their website but I haven’t checked for a while if they have anymore games released which is a bummer 😢 Hopefully they can get back to it. Umm the unicycle is interesting (had to watch that part again to refresh the memory) but it’s just an obstacle that was harder each one you get to, but it was just shooting the wheel at the correct moment. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
What an awesome game. It plays so well NOW, I can't imagine what an absolute mindblower this would have been if I had it for my Atari 2600 back in the early 80s.
For sure! Audacity Games says they will be making more new retro games not just for the 2600 but other old systems too. can't wait to see what they have in store (and I hope this one is really successful to spur on more development).
This would have totally blown peoples' minds back in the day. It's still impressive today even! This game theoretically could have been done in the early eighties, though at 32K ROM size it would have cost hundreds of dollars. Great job, David and Garry! I wonder if Audacity Games is ready to release their next game, Casey's Gold?
Couldn’t agree more with the above ☝️. Definitely a great game, and yes $100’s of dollars in the eighties was a bit rich. I’ve checked the site again for an update on Casey’s Gold but sadly no luck, hopefully they get it done before Christmas! Thanks 🙏 for looking!!
@@pnadalin72 Supposedly there are plans in the works to also support other retro machines (like the C64). Can't wait to see what they come up with considering what tools are available now compared to back in the day.
Nice job! It looks like it's key to leave that gas can on top of the blue box car untouched at the beginning of the game as there's no way to place a gas can there again once you've picked it up. Found that one out the hard way - now I gotta start over... :(
Thanks for looking Dave!! In still trying to get to your time! It’s a bit tricky, but I push down/right to get that big jump happening, sometimes it works other times I just slide back to the beginning.
@@pnadalin72 Thank you so much for the info! I’m sure you’ll pass me in no time. It’s all about optimization and minimal backtracking. I noticed you looking down a couple of times so I’m sure you’ve mapped it out and taken notes just like I have. I wish you the best of luck in improving your time!
Thanks Jason! Currently 3rd on the Leaderboard, and was also the 3rd person to complete the game behind Pat Larocque and rjedwards70, but Dave S Cramer is in top place with a blistering run of 17 minutes! You check it out here : www.adgm.us/portal/scores.html The shipping I think you can select, so i went with the cheaper option, $15 US. Its a great game you should grab a copy!! Thanks for looking!!
Ahh yes the slide! I actually used it in a few later speed runs, usually I use it to slide under the planes. It is pretty tricky to pull off consistently though. Thanks 🙏 for taking a look!!
Hey thanks for looking!! It’s been a long while since I’ve played this, but from memory you shoot first, then jump after it rebounds, I don’t think you can jump and shoot at the same time. Give it a try and let me know how it turns out 👍
Hey Glen, I can confirm it will 😅, looking at the official site of Atari.com. They have a game compatibility list Circus Convoy is on there as UNTESTED but over at Atariage there is plenty of testing and discussion on the 2600 + And this link confirms it does indeed work forums.atariage.com/topic/358796-atari-2600-beta-update-11/page/6/#comment-5377113 Enjoy your gaming!
Hey thanks for taking a look!! It is a fun game and when I worked out the way to complete it’s roughly the same time as Pitfall 😊. So this was actually the same guys who did make Pitfall sadly it looks like they haven’t continued to make other games. Tend to agree Pitfall is hands down the best game to come out on the 2600 !
Thanks for the feedback ! Its something Ive never considered to be honest. I've always gone with the "Actions are more powerful than words" mantra. Mostly all my videos are submitted to High Scoring websites like www.twingalaxies.com/ , so I when I play i just focus on what I need to do to get the job done. Its something to consider I guess, a lot of people do them and do them very well, but I if they aren't then those video's can be very frustrating to watch. But, I am always very HAPPY to help out out if someone asks a question regarding they game-play that they need more understanding on. Appreciate the comment 🙏
I actually own that one! I do find Circus Convoy more like the old Activision games, and that’s why I prefer it over princess rescue. I’m just hoping the continue to release som more games. Thanks 🙏 for checking out the video!

Awesome! A few minutes in, already picked up a few tips, nice!!!
Awesome!! Love to see you complete this one!

At the time that humans were real. I miss this life.
😊 gotta agree with you there!!
Thanks for looking and commenting 🙏👍
Fantastic run! I watched the whole thing transfixed. Great job.
Thanks so much for taking the time to watch the whole run!! It’s such a fun game!
Pure Genius!!!
Thanks Greg!! I know you will finish this without my help!
I finally got to try the ROM so that I'll know what to expect when my cartridge arrives. This is so amazing!
Great purchase Lauren!! You won’t regret it!!
Thanks for looking!!

@@JustWasted3HoursHere Commodore 64 would be great to get something! I still play mine not as regularly as the Atari though
@@pnadalin72 Retro is a big market because all those little kids from the seventies and eighties are now full grown adults with MONEY!
@@JustWasted3HoursHere Haha 😂 indeed!!
Nice job. I got some much needed tips from your video. RGC
Awesome!! I’m glad it helped 👍
Pitfall elements?!
Very much so! Thanks for checking out this video!

Yep! You are 100% correct!
That is a fantastic run! Well done! I just have a question. How are you able to do those super jumps in the game room (red car)?
Thanks for looking Dave!! In still trying to get to your time!

Awesome run, where does that put you on the leaderboard? Also how much did they charge you for postage to Australia? Cheers

How do you jump shooting the propane tank to avoid your rebounding bullet?

2600+ ?

This is great, The game looks very cool@@pnadalin72
25:20 - No way I'd go into a snake trailer in real life!
Haha that makes 2 of us!
Nice!
Thanks!! This is a fun NEW Game, you should check it out!
Even with a busted elbow your still making us mere mortals look shit.......😍
🥰 that’s the nicest thing you’ve ever written, are you ok?
@@pnadalin72 no I had been drinking heavily
You're shit
You make this seem like a cakewalk! Did you beta test for Audacity Games? Lol
Haha!! No, that would be a dream come true 😉
yes
Thanks for looking!!
Looks like fun but would take too long to play sadly. Neat that they did it, but Pitfall scratches that kind of itch for me.

@@pnadalin72 actions speak louder than words killed the superior Sega Master system. They had almost NO advertisement
I LIKE the fact that you just played the game. I hate gameplay videos where the player doesn’t shut up through the entire run.
@@awhite2600 Dont like that extreme either
I’m sorry but this is 2nd rate compared to Princess Rescue.
I actually own that one! I do find Circus Convoy more like the old Activision games, and that’s why I prefer it over princess rescue. I’m just hoping the continue to release som more games. Thanks 🙏 for checking out the video!
