Popeye (Arcade)
3The object of the game is, as Popeye, to catch various items that are being released by Olive Oyl. Single-screen levels have to be traversed, usually back and forth, as the falling objects are being chased. The Sea Hag often appears and throws objects at Popeye, and vultures may roam the level, but the main enemy is Brutus (with his appearance very much the same as the one in the 1960s series), who roams the area to attack Popeye on sight and also throw bottles at him. The punch attack allows for the destruction of the enemy-sent projectiles and also to grab the available cans of spinach - the only way to (temporarily) do away with Brutus is to catch him after eating spinach. Duration of this empowerment is indicated by a brief rendition of "I'm Popeye The Sailor Man". The game is over after three instances of being hit or failing to retrieve a "good" object for a while after it has fallen. Grabbing them all leads to the next level, in an endless cycle.
