Product Information
Well, blow me down and shiver me timbers! Parker Bros. made Nintendo's<br>Popeye for the Atari 5200! In this game you portray the title character, that famous<br>pipe-smoking sailor from the cartoons.<br><br>Popeye consists of three levels. In each level you must run and climb up and down<br>ladders, stairs, and platforms, gathering up objects being floated down from your<br>girlfriend, Olive Oyl. In the first stage she floats hearts, in the second stage she floats musical notes, and in the final stage, which takes place aboard a boat, she gets really desperate and begins floating the letters that spell out the word HELP.<br><br>As you hurry about, gathering up items, your arch enemy Brutus will be on your tail.<br>If he touches you, you're a goner, unless you have recently eaten a can of spinach; while<br>hyped up on spinach, you are invulnerable, and you can punch out Brutus. From time<br>to time the repulsive Sea Hag pops out and throws bottles at you. You can dodge<br>them, or, if you want extra points, you can punch them. In the third level you must also<br>contend with vultures.<br><br>This game is very similar to the ColecoVision version, but Popeye has a pipe in<br>the 5200 version, while it is conspicuously absent in the ColecoVision game!Product Identifiers
