Octoplus 2.5.6 crack. CoolROM.com's game information and ROM download page for Circus Charlie (Centuri) (MAME).
Circus Charlie is a game developed by none other than Konami. It is a port of an arcade game and is every bit as good as the original. It's cute and really fun - it's one of these early eighties colorful kid games.
It features six different platforming/action-based courses you must help Charlie the clown get through - riding a lion, bouncing on trampolines, jumping over monkeys on a tight rope (!!), to name only half of the events. You are also playing against time, so you better hurry!
If you had a famiclone when you were young you must have really fond memories of Charlie. If you didn't, try this out! Both the original version and this are worth playing, so pick one up and play!

Circus Charlie (サーカスチャーリーSākasu Chārī) is an action game originally published in arcades by Konami in 1984. The player controls a clown named Charlie in six different circus-themed minigames. It was released for MSX in the same year, followed by ports to the Nintendo Famicom in 1986 by Soft Pro and the Commodore 64 in 1987.
In the game there are six regular stages (plus an extra stage) of differing tasks that are to be completed by Charlie. Grabbing money bags, performing dangerous tricks, avoiding enemies, completing stages, etc., earns Charlie points. After the sixth stage is completed, the game starts over again but with a faster pace and more difficult (but exactly the same in terms of task to be completed) levels.
Charlie also races against time. Bonus points are awarded according to the time remaining, but running out of time will cost the player a life.
The standard Arcade version has 6 levels in total. Levels 1, 2, 4 and 5 have 5 sublevels. Level 3 contains 7 sublevels. Each sublevel gets more difficult. Level 6 also has 5 sublevels, but repeats as long the user has lives.
In the 'Level Select' version of the game,[clarification needed] the player can choose any of the stages to play, but only a limited number of times each, whereupon the level will become unselectable. There is no 'ending' to the game—after the first five levels have each been played to their limit, the player then repeats the trapeze stage until all their lives are exhausted.
In the Famicom version, the trampoline stage is omitted, but it has a 'B' mode, in which all the levels are repeated with added difficulty. The game often shows up on Famicom clone systems and multicarts, usually with its title screen altered to remove copyright, some versions also have the levels split up to make up separate games in multicarts.
The music comes from American Patrol and The Blue Danube.
In Mikie, another Konami arcade game, headbutting the teacher's desk from below three times in the classroom stage will make Circus Charlie appear, giving the player extra points.
Circus Charlie was released along with other Konami classic games on the Nintendo DS compilation Konami Classics Series: Arcade Hits.
