Popeye is a mixture of platformer and collecting game by Parker Brothers, who released the game in 1983 as the home version of the arcade machine by Nintendo. The player controls Popeye, the spinach sailor known from comics and cartoons, with the task to collect the symbols that his beloved one, the fancy beauty Olive Oyl, throws at him before they drop into the water. The roles of the antagonists are occupied by Brutus, the always jealous dislikeable chief brute and the sea witch with her biting vulture Bernard, who leave nothing undone to bean Popeye. A level is finished when you have made it to collect a certain number of symbols, whereupon the turbulent ado continues in the next of altogether three different screens. Popeye starts with four screen lives and gets a bonus life every 40.000 points.
