Circus Charlie (NES)

Featuring everyone's favorite micro-sized death defying clown Chablie Charlie in a whopping number of five difficult stunts!

This port has a few things in common with the MSX version, mainly the player sprite and the lack of the trampoline stage from the arcade original.

It's also a rare instance where Konami didn't self-publish on the console, choosing to have the game be published by Soft Pro instead.

This needs some investigation.

Specifically: Hidden Palace user Arnold Rimmer claims the existence of a prototype that was sold on Yahoo Japan with the original copyrights. Do pictures survive from this auction?

A Konami logo, found within the background tiles. Konami was going to publish the game at some point (likely under the serial number RC803), only to back out for unknown reasons.
