Wow, that's some amazing gameplay there for sure. Popeye is no slouch either, that game is HARD. It was innovative at the time for its use of really large sprites. Definitely one of my favorite classic games. Thanks, good stuff! 👍
Could watch this all day. My favorite arcade game as a kid.
Needed one more level.
For reference, "Revision D" is considered the "parent rom" for Popeye in MAME. The game loops its stages in a manner similar to Donkey Kong, but you don't get the nice "How High Can You Get?" screen to indicate this - the only way to know the order is to play the game.
0:42 - When gameplay actually starts.
2:38 - First round (catch hearts) cleared with 21,380 points. Note how easy it is to point press this stage by simply smashing thrown bottles (and skulls in further loops of the game).
3:57 - Second round (catch notes) cleared with with 34,030 points. Again, it's fairly easy to point press with the bottles and skulls, although another method is using the teeter-totter in the lower-left corner to launch up into the top-left floating platform for bonus points.
5:40 - Third round (catch HELP letters) and first loop of the game cleared with 62,430 points. The bonus life (40,000 points) is earned early in this round. Just keep smashing the vulture as he spawns for 1,000 points each time!
9:25 - Passed 100,000 points hitting Bluto on Round 6 (second heart catch round on second loop).
13:43 - Interesting glitch (?) on Round 9 - after Bluto uses the teeter-totter and his landing shakes the screen, one of the notes on the same level as his landing gets "stuck" (freezes in place) and stays there until Bluto uses the teeter-totter again.
14:29 - After clearing Round 9, the game goes to "Round A" (as indicated by the Get Ready message and counter in the corner), which is the ship round of the third loop. The game will cycle through the letters of the alphabet for the round indicator from this point onward. Score is 177,080 points.
52:32 - "Round Z" cleared with 692,980 points. Having run out of letters of the alphabet, the game now starts using other symbols (such as the forward slash in the following round) in the round counter and Get Ready message.
1:00:00 - Empty round indicator! (If you count the rounds yourself, this is actually Round 41.) Subsequent rounds go back to using symbols.
1:09:16 - First death at 907,220 points in second round with apostrophe symbol in the counter (Round 47).
1:16:18 - Both Player 1 and high score rollover at 1,000,000 points. The round counter seems to be using bits of sprite graphics at this point, as the P symbol in the counter matches the P you catch as part of the ship rounds. Second death occurs about 25 seconds later. (Round 52)
2:01:31 - Third death at 1,619,610 points. Round counter has a "dot" of sprite graphics in it (part of the "Thru" sign?) - actually Round 82.
2:30:06 - Second rollover of both Player 1 and high score (2,000,000 points). Round counter has two dots touching the extra lives number - actually Round 101!
2:37:28 - Last round reached before gameover with 2,101,430 points - the round counter shows a jagged shape that might match part of a character's graphics (actually Round 107).
the jagged shape is the grass at the top.
What a way to die on the last man.
technically you did 108230 the MAX point is 999999 ( maybe in this game the MAX is 999990 )
however great game
too bad the game doesn't have an ending , i hate this wrong choice by the developers
This was one of my favorite games on Colecovision!
@ 3:52 always did love that tune,really brings back some memories :)
Yo lo jugue me encanto lo triste es que no tenia un final
Popeye game is all right funny make me laugh 😅😅😂❤
That disappointed look you get when you realize your favorite childhood arcade game is only 3 levels long...
They should make Popeye for Digital for Nintendo Switch and PS4.
1up, and 2up mark beside the score did not mean back then extra life, it mean player 1 is up, and player 2 is up abriviated as 1up and 2up, that is later change to mean extra life and they switch it 1p and 2p to represent player
If Popeye can come out the other side, how come the beer bottles don't?
I have this game today.
Popeye gm so underrated.
this was an education, thanks.
Fantastic game. I personally prefer it to DK. Mostly nostalgia bias, but i felt the objectives and enemies were more fun.
I was able to only beat the first level of this arcade version,because this version is much harder then the nes version, you got surrounded and shot from every angle, theres no save spot, it’s hard todefend yourself or dodge those bullets, also why is it that only in the nes version i can climb up the ladder in the middle and not on other version in the first level??
So unfair.
Why did the game end like this? He's not even trying to hit the bottle.
That Olive Oyl broad was so hideous, yet Popeye was willing to degrade himself for her!!!
Why does the MAME version not include all the interstitial music between levels?
TooT TooT!!...
I know what you did. You recognize game patterns.
0:42
I remember this!!!!!! One of the most successful games after Donkey Kong and Pacman.
Does anyone know,for mame PC version,the keyboard controls?
That’s an awful lot of human skulls the Sea Hag has...
YES IT WAS
Hillary Clinton is her supplier.
@ 8:35 weird,it skipped the 3rd stage (ship) and went right back to the first one?
Impresionante!! 👏👍
Was that intentional at the very end?
Crazy 👍👍👍
Nice score
スコアが210万点？
Why did you take a loss?
lol
Very impressive gameplay.
i used to play this in the arcades and while fun for awhile, it's one of the most boring games, along with kangaroo
umm no theyre not. Oh my bad you meant TO YOU...gotcha
Which version is this? I am certain that I relent a 4th level in the arcade version where Popeye had to fight the Sea Hag.
This popeye remake isn't the one I have, when you get higher in rounds my brutis gets faster than popeye & you can never be on the same leave basically, this is the weak version!!
dude it's literally the original, who cares. it's not a fucking remake
I'm popeye the sailor man, I live in a garbage can, I turned up the heater, and burned off my Weiner. I'm Popeye the sailor man. toot! toot!
