Release Date: 1982
COLLECTING

Interesting facts. 'Popeye'' is a 1982 arcade game released by Nintendo based on the 'Popeye' comic/cartoon characters licensed from King Features Syndicate.


PLAYING

cross platforms this is recognised as one of the worst arcade translations of all time...need I say anymore. What Other People Thought One of the best 4-bit arcade games is one of the worst translated games for the Atari 2600, next to Pac-Man. The graphics are butt-ugly. Popeye is pink, Olive Oyl is red, and Brutus is green (with envy?). Olive tosses hearts, musical notes, and X's. The X's replaced the H-E-L-P letters in the third level. Why? The sound is annoying, but at least they got the "Popeye Theme" right. The game play sucks, too. Brutus doesn't deliver much of a challenge for Popeye. He either runs around in hopes of catching up with Popeye or tosses square-shaped bottles at him. There's no Wimpy or Sweet Pea. The Sea Hag is there, but you can't see her as she tosses bottles at Popeye. Parker Brothers never really did a good job with video games, especially for the Atari 2600. The Nintendo Entertainment System version is much better than this piece of shit-. My evaluation: 1.5 out of 10. (Mark Pilkington)
