POPEYE GAME 8 BITS

Popeye là một game arcade năm 1982 được phát triển và phát hành dựa trên phim hoạt hình Popeye.

Popeye is a 1982 arcade game developed and release based on the Popeye cartoon.

Despite the feature of an attack button, Popeye cannot attack Brutus directly. Instead, the button is used for the following:

The attack button destroys items that could hurt Popeye such as bottles, vultures and skulls.

Each level has a can of spinach; attacking these cans will give Popeye invincibility and he can knock out Brutus just by running into him, although after a few seconds Brutus will swim back out and be ready for action again.

In Round 1 (the dock scene) of each three-round cycle is a punching bag, which Popeye can use to knock loose a nearby barrel from its position near the top of the playing field. If the barrel falls onto Brutus' head, the player earns bonus points (based on where Brutus was attacked) and renders Brutus harmless for several seconds.

Other licensed Popeye characters in the game are Olive Oyl, Swee'Pea, and Wimpy, though they are mostly decorative and do not add heavily to the gameplay. Wimpy appears in Round 2 (the street scene) on one end of the seesaw in the lower left corner of the field, to act as a counterweight. Swee'Pea floats high above, with bonus points to be earned if Popeye can spring off the see-saw and touch him.
