Popeye - Widescreen

Popeye (1982, PP23) is the third release of the Widescreen series.

Gameplay
Popeye and Olive are getting ready to take a trip, loading the boat with Spinach and other food. Popeye has to catch the food Olive throws at him, as he dodges attacks by Brutus.

Use the left and right control buttons to catch the food. One point is scored for every catch. When Brutus knocks Popeye into the water, or when Popeye misses an item of food, a miss is scored. and an empty spinach can is displayed on screen. It is game over after 3 misses. In Game B, Brutus jumps back and forth, so it is harder to avoid him.


Rarity
Like Parachute and Octopus, 1.2 million games were manufactured so Popeye is not that rare. Several are often for sale on Ebay at any one time.
