Overview:

Back of Box

Put yourself in Popeye's place. You've got a daffy girlfriend who goes by the name of Olive Oyl. Right now, she's got you running in circles, chasing hearts and notes all over the place. (Well, blow me down!)

Them there's that blubber-brain, Brutus, who's out to get you. (He's meaner than mean!) While you're dashing around, he's taking shots to knock you overboard.

And if that's not bad enough- you've got that nasty ol' buddy, the Sea Hag, pelting you with bottles. And vultures diving right for your head. (Yikes!)

Now you'd think with all this going on, you could rely on your spinach. No chance! It's there one second- gone the next. (When you do grab it, Brutus is in big trouble!)

So go ahead, put yourself in Popeye's place- if you think you can handle all the action!

Game Trivia:

  • The game is a conversion of the arcade game from Nintendo in 1982
  • The game is based on the fictional cartoon character created by Elzie Crisler Segar (1894 – 1938) who first appeared as a comic strip in the New York Journal in 1919. Popeye has appeared in comic books, Radio and TV shows, and a live-action musical movie. The movie was first released in 1980 and was directed by Robert Altman (1925 – 2006) with Robin Williams (1951 – 2014) playing the lead role.
  • Although the game shares the same name with the game published by Macmillan Software, they are both different games.
