5.0 out of 5 stars Another finely-ported game, December 22, 2010
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Popeye for Atari 2600 (Game Cartridge)
Popeye is an arcade game based off of the old television cartoon show (which is still being watched on Boomerang, by the way). While the game didn't really grow as popular as games like Donkey Kong and Pac-Man, it was a cult classic.

You play as Popeye, and you must catch whatever Olive throws down (Hearts, music notes, H E L P letters). Each level has Olive throwing down different things. Of course, there's also Bluto trying to get in your way. If you get close to him, it's likely that he will throw wine bottles at you. You gotta break them by punching them. If you get farther in the game, a witch would probably come and throw skulls at you, too.

Each level has different gimmicks. The first has nothing, actually. The second level has a seesaw you can use to reach a platform unreachable by doing everything else. The third level shows Olive being captured by a bird. The bird is another obstacle which you can hurt by punching.

Overall, it is a great arcade game and the Atari 2600 version is no disappointment.
