Circus Charlie NES: That One Game That Made Me Throw My Controller

 

Okay so.

I don't even know where to start with this game.

Circus Charlie.

If you grew up in the 90s and had a Nintendo – or you know, that bootleg Famicom that looked like a weird keyboard – you KNOW this game. It was on EVERY. SINGLE. MULTI-CART. I swear. 72-in-1? Yep. 99-in-1? Of course. 1000-in-1? Probably a lie but yeah, Circus Charlie was there.

And I hated it. But I also loved it. It's complicated.

So... What Even Is Circus Charlie?

Alright so basically you're this little yellow-haired clown named Charlie. And you're in a circus. And you have to do... circus stuff. Jump through fire rings on a lion. Walk on a tightrope. Bounce on balls. Walk on stilts. Swing on a trapeze.

Sounds simple right?

WRONG.

This game was BRUTAL. Like, unfairly hard. The kind of hard that made you question your existence as a 7-year-old.

Old Laptop with i5 gen 3 still rocks

Recently, while making time to study virtual assistant courses online, I realized I needed a basic laptop for my studies. So, I dug through my closet, cabinets, and other storage spots, and came across my old Fujitsu Lifebook A572/E. I dusted it off and decided to give it a try.

This model was manufactured around the first half of 2012, and surprisingly, it’s still more than capable for basic office use. Encouraged by its performance, I went ahead and installed a few classic games too—Call of Duty 2, NBA Live 2005, Battle Realms, Red Alert 2, and a few others.

I’m quite pleased with how well this laptop is holding up even after all these years. It’s a nice reminder that sometimes, old tech still has plenty of life left in it

The new Nokia 3310 (2017)

Back in the days when you think about phone, you think about nokia.

When you think about electronic tunes, you think about nokia tune

*ten ne ne nen, ten ne ne nen, ten ne ne nen...*

And when you think about portable game, you think about snake, bantumi, and space impact.

Back then, every nokia phone are

so durable that it never crossed their mind about the word durability.

And here in the Philippines, there we're lots of shops selling nokia cases 

The nostalgia is back when it was announced that Nokia brand will be continued and that the 3310 variant was rebooted. There were news about its release date here in the Philippines as said in these websites:

 

 So I looked at an online store and found out that there are look-a-like if not original. Well, I'm not sure if it's original or not basing on the brand name and the proposed price of about 2,500 pesos vs. a thousand pesos for these brands.Ma

Maybe I'll just have to wait for the official release to find out

Its nice to look at stats of my blog when I, myself is not confident about the content of this. After a very long break, I decided to continue to add more post and especially content on which I would like to find on the Internet myself. For now, this is all... bye bye Guys!

ePSXe 1.9.25 with BIOS free full download (PS1 Emulator)(Updated)

ePSXe is the most popular PSX emulator for the PC. It runs almost any ps1 games, either thru the cd rom of your PC or save it on your your hard disk (should be ISO extension, or convert your ps1 cd's to ISO). Although it runs almost any ps1 games, there's still some lock-ups and bugs which you can just search the web for a fix.

I uploaded the emulator thru mediafire (1.9.25 is the latest version), just extract it using winrar or 7-zip then run ePSXe file, insert your ps1 cd, click file, then select run CD ROM. This is the most complete and updated version of ePSXe without having to download its BIOS. Everything under one file to suit your gaming needs.

To change the control pad:
