cparsley Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I hate this game lol 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparsley Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Also kept thinking the game couldn't be this bad, could it, so I had to grab Popeye for the NES (Coded by Nintendo Japan at the same time as this Parker Brothers abomination, 1982... The picture was taken post game as the game over screen only stays on for a few seconds, but like the arcade as long as you don't start a new game the "attract" screen still shows last game score... Really points on the blaring gaps in Parker Brothers game and whether or not it was possible in the INTV --- One - the middle ladder as you say on stage 1 ACTUALLY goes ALL THE WAY DOWN to the 3rd level, meaning you can CLIMB UP IT as well... Seriously Parker Bros??? FAIL, doable on INTV of fucking course... Two - on level 2, there's a platform if you grab onto puts you on the top and gives you 500 pts. Parker Brothers, on the other hand just made it every other time and no points... lol Not as terrible as #1, so not going to nail the bros for this one too much Three - A TON MORE items come out at once, making the levels not be a slogfest!!! And I dont want to hear Parker Bros could only get 2 sprites working lol Four - on 2nd trip thru a sea hag sits on top right and heaves skulls in the game grid. Hate those hags already 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate those hags already Yeah this game is friggin BAD!!! I have both EMU and the 2609 so I try both. EMU is much better to play because with the cartridge version you cannot go near the stairs because most of the time the Sea Hags will be invisible and a floating hammer will come at you out of nowhere, not kidding..... The Sea Hags are not SUPPOSED to be invisible, they are supposed to appear so you atleast get a warning... Nope not my crummy cart version.. You go near the stairs and get hit with a hammer that appears out of nowhere. So now when I'm playing the cart version I have to stay in the middle and wait for the hammers to come and then I can make a break for it to climb the stairs, but if Brutus is coming then I have no choice and gotta chance it.... Then there's Popeye getting stuck thing, either going up the stairs or trying to go down the stairs, it's a NIGHTMARE!!! He even gets stuck sometimes on straightaways. Just yesterday on the 2nd level I reached for the spinach and got stuck in the wall behind it... Ugggghhh Just a bad bad bad game... It has potential and is playable, but because of the control flaws and other issues it's just one big heaping pile of video excrement..... ?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) Intellivision Popeye is based on the arcade game not the famicom/nes game. In the arcade game the ladder is at it is in the intellivision version, you can climb down but not up. Famicom Popeye came out in 1983, the arcade game in 1982.

fakecortex Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Every time I check this thread, I remember why I haven't clambered at trying this version again, haha, tho I should get something up this evening. I will stand by that NES version tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakecortex Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 And he finally submits a score! Can't say I'll be putting much more time, if any, into this one. Would rather learn Thunder Castle tbh. Looks like I got 39k when we last played, which might push me to try again. 18,700 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClassicGMR Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 29,000 - I actually had too much going on at once on one line during this run - 2 hags, spinach and Brutus. I kicked Brutus overboard but I clipped right off the screen because I was flashing so much. Couldn’t do a thing until a heart sat too long and I lost a life. Weird. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gar0u Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 2,000 points lower than last season's score. This time I'm playing using Flashback controller and Raspberry Pi running 'jzintv' emulator. Last season was emulation, but on a MacBook with keyboard controls. Ready to move on to Thunder Castle! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Player One Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 On 2/24/2021 at 11:25 AM, cmadruga said: Further elaborating, even though I'm sure you guys all have noticed it... Going up stairs in the 3 different stages... stages 1 and 2 are ok, then stage 3 has awkward sprite positioning. Going up ladders... stage 1 is fine, but 2 is messed up... This game really is a hot mess. Which is a shame because it is FUN. I had the same problem using Open Emu on my iMac. Popeye seemed off track. It wasn't an issue on my 2609. The graphics actually looked blockier in emulation as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I will probably never win a single game competition,its so much fun playing different forgotten games and even surprising myself with a score I didnt think I would reach. All of that makes the HSC fun and fulfilling enough for me!?? 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
