The object of the game was for Popeye to collect a certain number of items (24 hearts, 16 musical notes, or the letters in the word "help" - depending on the level) while avoiding the Sea Hag, Brutus / originally Bluto (Brutus was the name given to the character in the King Features cartoon series, Popeye the Sailor) and other dangers. The player can make Popeye walk back and forth and up and down stairs and ladders with an 8-way joystick. There is a punch button, but unlike similar games of the period, no jump button. (Conversely, Brutus can jump down a level and also jump up to hit Popeye if he is directly above.) Each level has a can of spinach. If Popeye punches the can, he becomes temporarily invincible and 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.

One of the better early/arcade style NES games
Much like nes donkey Kong this is just a 3 screen arcade port with repeating stages and increased difficulty after stage 3. So there is not much to this one but I still give it 5 stars because it's an excellent arcade port. I actually like it more than donkey Kong though I'm probably in the minority with that one. You have to collect the items olive ( or olive oil, e.v.o.o... whatever her name is) drops its hearts, then music notes then the letters spelling help or help me something like that. Anyway gets far harder on stage four once it repeats stage 1 for the first time, great game though. If you only get one early 3 screen arcade port I say this is a great option.

Simple but fun
Used to play Popeye years ago so I was excited to find it for sale online. It is just as fun as I remember it although compared to games nowadays, it is very simplistic. It's good for young kids and for kids at heart like myself who are in to the whole nostalgia thing. The object of the game is to collect all the hearts that Olive Oyl is throwing down and avoiding Bluto. Not many levels on this game so it's a little repititous, but still fun.

good classic but very short but still enjoyable game from early 80's when games were new and simple
cool game, but I realized after I got this that can also get the 150 games in one cartridge and is better deal since it has this..just saying in case don't want to over pay or if can't find it- for this or donkey kong has too the old nes one-because some of these may be hard to find unless get reissues ones right?

fast shipment
after buying i didn't think i would like the game but after receiving the game it took a little time to get the game to start but that is to be expected (I have 170 games for this system) and the label showes wear and tare (i have games with worse and no label) but still very happy

Amazon rocks!
Husband is a Popeye fanactic! Was very glad to find this game on Amazon. Bought it immediately. Everyone who visits comments on it. They call it 'old school' gaming.

Unfortunately this wasn't the actual game - instead of Popeye ...
Unfortunately this wasn't the actual game - instead of Popeye it was actually Wrestling game, albeit the Popeye sticker on the cartridge. So this game wasn't actually checked before :(
