Gypsy Juggler
Gypsy Juggler is a single-player arcade action game released by Meadows in 1978. The player controls a juggler who must keep multiple objects in the air simultaneously, timing throws and catches to maintain a continuous juggling routine. The game challenges players to manage an increasing number of objects as play progresses, with the difficulty ramping up as more items are added to the juggling sequence. Players use arcade controls to toss and catch objects, requiring careful timing and coordination. Dropping an object ends or penalizes the current run. The game is a relatively early example of skill-based arcade action focused on a single coordinated task, typical of the straightforward mechanical challenges that Meadows produced during this period.
