Are the any speecy titles based on "circus atari" by any chance??
Even the original Arcade version of "Circus" was rubbish. Its really hard to make a game as fun as the 2600 version of Circus Atari. The game depended on some very well-engineered physics. The bouncing on the moving blocks and the momentum of bounces being dependant on the position on which the man lands are something that turns an otherwise boring game into something special.
In 30 years, no-one has out Circus-Atari'd "Circus Atari". Its an ideal candidate for an iPhone or Android game.
I think tapaka is right though. I doubt you will fine anything as nice as the orginal Atari version. That was always one of my favs back in the day. Very addictive.
Luckly its one of those games that plays well with a mouse under emulation (stella) so is one i go back to from time to time :)

Takapa I'm not confident with the electronics side so I'll get one of my mates to do it for me :)
Myself and my brother playing Circus Atari the last time I was back in England (forgive the inanity of the dialog, we had been drinking a little :) ):
