Game description:

Popeye is a conversion of the arcade action/platform game. As Popeye, you are trying to win Olive Oyl's love! She is at the top of the screen dropping tokens of her love, and you need to collect them before they hit the ground. After you have collected the required number of items, you can move on to the next, more difficult level. There are many obstacles trying to stop you from completing your task, though! Brutus wanders around the screen and is constantly trying to catch you. If you collect a can of spinach, you can temporarily knock him out, otherwise Brutus will knock you out. Other objects such as bottles or birds are also flying around the screen and will cause you to lose one of your lives if you are hit. Each level features a different layout of platforms and ladders, and will have you collecting different items as they float towards the bottom of the screen!


What I think:

Hello, I am your Highretrogamelord89 and fitting to Valentine's Day I present you Popeye for the Atari 8-bit systems.

(I got inspired by this sentence by MrVenom1974)


Lol, okay, if you are a long-time subscriber you know that I don't make specials. But this game fits to Valentine's Day. Well, at least the first screen. :D


Quite fun version, even though the hit detection is rather lousy and you have to be REALLY lucky to hit a bottle before it hits you.
