Chinese Juggler
By Ocean
Commodore 64

 
Published in Home Computing Weekly #55

A fiendishly cunning idea - to replicate a Chinese juggling act. The scene is the stage in a theatre. The curtain rises and, to frantic music, a juggler spins plates on sticks. Then it's your turn.

You control the juggler with the joystick. At the start there are eight sticks. You have to move the juggler to the front to pick up plates, position them and set them spinning. Every so often you need to rush back to previous sticks to keep the plates spinning. If you manage to get eight plates up and spinning, you go up a level.

There are 10 levels. At the first it doesn't matter what colour plates you use but at the next you have to use the specified colour and so on.

It seems an ideal gift for someone who wants to run away to the circus. It's also a challenge to armchair critics who've seen this on TV and reckon they could do better. Difficult at higher levels, it is also very satisfying when you get all plates up and spinning. Needs joystick.
