About this product
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

Ukukukukuk! Strong to the finach
I had this as a teenager in the 80s. There was no internet so no one told me how crappy the Atari 5200 was. Ha! I was in video game heaven! I graduated from a Magnavox Odyssey2 to an Atari5200 with recognizable arcade titles!! For years I used to skip school lunch and spend the dollar that my Mom gave me for that on Popeye and Joust at the local grocery store with my buddy after school. Now I had Popeye to play on my home console!! Whatever was lacking my mind filled in the blanks. Years later we sold our old games to but new ones. Now Im collecting the old ones again. Popeye rules!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
