+.TH CIRCUSLINUX "6" "April 2009" "New Breed Software" "Games"
+.SH NAME
+circuslinux \- Clone of the Atari 2600 game "Circus Atari"
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B circuslinux
+[\fIoptions...\fR]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+"Circus Linux!" is a clone of the Atari 2600 game "Circus Atari," produced
+by Atari, Inc. (which is itself a clone of an earlier arcade game named,
+simply "Circus").
+.P
+The object is to move a teeter-totter back and forth across the screen
+to bounce clowns up into the air. When they reach the top, they pop rows
+of balloons and then fall back down.
+.P
+(The gameplay is similar to the classics "Breakout" and "Arkanoid.")
+.P
+During gameplay, the mouse or joystick is used to move the teeter\-totter,
+and any mouse/joystick button is used to launch a new clown (to start the
+level) and to flip the teeter\-totter (after a clown has been launched).
