Mister VCS Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 (edited) Game Info In Popeye, you race Popeye up steps, across beams and down ladders - all to win the affection of his sweetheart, Olive Oyl. Popeye must catch the hearts, musical notes, and calls for help sent by Olive Oyl. Meanwhile, Brutus is chasing him. Punch the bottles thrown at Popeye and escape danger. Eat/punch the spinach and Popeye can defeat Brutus. chosen by: thegoldenband, cparsley, revolutinka, cmart604 and patbb Level 1 - 1 Player Contest ends on Sunday, 06-13-2010 at 1:00 AM eastern.

jaybird3rd Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 pic pic pic??? (kind of like meep meep meep) hehe I don't know if anyone else remembers this, but for some reason, this post reminded me of the old Perdue chicken commercial that sang "pick, pick pick!" over and over again while a whole family picked a skinless roasted chicken down to the bones. But, back on topic ... I won't be playing Popeye, but I hope the contest gets back into the core first-party Intellivision releases. Most of the games so far have been third-party games (and not necessarily the best ones on the Intellivision, IMHO). I'm really looking forward to Night Stalker!

roadrunner Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 pic pic pic??? (kind of like meep meep meep) hehe Hey, i'm using the emulator Bliss. I can't figure out how to use the printscreen PrtSc button. I press it and nothing happens. I got to the 3rd level. I'm not being accused of cheating i'm i?

cparsley Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Considering there is no other scores, thats #1 so far I hadn't powered up Popeye yet myself, plan to later this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenegg Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I played quite a bit of this port a month or so ago for a YouTube vid. Should have saved my score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed1475 Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 81200 Try to get the hearts, notes, letters when they are farther up on the screen. They are worth fewer points the farther down they fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister VCS Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 Come on! This game was suggested by five HSC-players, but we have only two scores so far... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicGMR Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 27,500 This game kicks my ass. Best score I could come up with in the last 2 weeks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patbb Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 20600. I do not recommend using Bliss emulator to play this game. I don't know if it's only me or if I'm using an old version but the stairs and the ladders are not align with Popeye making it difficult when going up and down. I played a better game on my arcade cab using Nostalgia, above 30k, but now I'm having a problem with the network card making it impossible to get the screen shot , I'll try to get it before the end of the contest.

Yeah, playing on Bliss, on the 3rd level the right side of the screen flickers like crazy too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparsley Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I finally played last night, not beating the high, but probably all Im going to get out of this game.... When I get home from work I'll get it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
