Popeye Arcade Game *
“I’m strong to the finish, cause I eats me spinach”
Here is a great old classic arcade game that is becoming very hard to find
The object of the game is for Popeye to collect a certain number of items dropped by Olive Oyl, depending on the level — 24 hearts, 16 musical notes, or 24 letters in the word HELP — while avoiding the Sea Hag, Brutus and other dangers. The player can make Popeye walk back and forth and up and down stairs and ladders with a 4-way joystick. There is a punch button, but unlike similar games of the period, no jump button. Conversely, Brutus can jump down a level, or merely stoop and reach down into the level below, and he can also jump up to hit Popeye if he is directly above.
Despite the feature of a punch button, Popeye cannot attack Brutus directly. Instead, the button is used for the following:
- Punching destroys items that could hurt Popeye such as bottles, vultures and skulls.
- Each level has a can of spinach; punching these cans will give Popeye invincibility and he can knock out Brutus just by running into him, although after a few seconds Brutus will swim back out and be ready for action again.
