Nightmare Circus is a
Plot
The story begins with a circus that was held out in the desert of Arizona. On opening night, the circus was burned completely to the ground by its shady and villainous operator, the Jester, who intended to cash in on an insurance policy.
Gameplay
In the game, Raven must go through multiple levels of the circus environment using various fighting moves to destroy enemies.[1] The game has a normal one-player mode, but it also features a cooperative two-player mode, a one-on-one duel mode where a player can fight against a second player or an enemy character, and a mode where one player controls Raven and the second player controls the generation of the enemies in the game.[2]
The game has a "Tweak" mode which allows a player to adjust numerous game variables such as the gravity, the speed of objects, and the appearance of enemies.
Reception
USA magazine Next Generation commented that the game had a lot more detail than many other platform games, but that its potential significance was reduced since the Sega Genesis was starting to be supplanted by other consoles.[2] The game's intended North American release in late 1995 was indeed cancelled, though it later appeared in that region for the Sega Channel.[3]
