[WizzoPro9476]

good entertainment!

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

Ya musta' been wimpy if ya sucks at Popeye.

[BigFreddieStyle]

@NinjaGhostScorpion I was just thinking that. I've seen 4 year olds play Popeye better than whoever played on this video.

[lueck183]

@BigFreddieStyle oh year, much better

[PerthKettlebells]

You suck at this game! :)

[IIIIdepechemodeIIII]

this is the best fucking video game i've ever seen in my life.

[mongovi]

i used to play the coin-op when i was like 8

[bigman88zz]

wow, having a forehead is normal, but a five head is completely ridiculous.

[D00r3]

Brutus kinda looks like the shrunken head guy from Beetlejuice

[paulohmedina]

Esse foi meu 1º game cara!

[mibzar20]

Yes!!!!!!! Now For PS3, Xbox360 And Wii!!

[FoodUser]

Popeye looks like he has a wolf head.

[abdu123]

Idk why but i love the classic bloops and bleeps

[CJ076]

That Popeye theme was not bad for an Atari version.

[nintendoneil]

I have the colecovision version of this game...looks about the same.

[toasttoastingtoaster]

I think i saw this game for sale at my local video rental store for 10 bucks. Is it rare? I dont have a 5200...

[fuzzywzhe]

really , to properly demonstrate a game, the person playing needs to have some skill playing the game.

[clinch44]

you beat me to that comment.

[dogeymon83]

Only "slightly" better graphics than 2600. "SLIGHTLY" IS RIGHT!!!!!!

[adog262]

Lolz, yeah Popeye for the Atari VCS was rather awful. Parker Brothers slacked off with that port.

[flipchuck]

That music STILL drives me nuts

[1983parrothead]

@flipchuck

Sounds like the oldies song, "I Will Follow Him", which was later used in the Modern versions of Game & Watch Gallery 1 and 4's Octopus.

[1983parrothead]

Parker Bros. had the rights to port Nintendo's arcade games for Atari's home consoles back then, including their Japan-only arcade, Sky Skipper.

[bkgartist]

I got this for christmas of 84 on the 5200 and played the HELL out of it!!

[darblackraven]

Omg!! I rembember this game and music xD

[RLFLOWS]

I still have this game. Great memories of being a kid in the 1980's.

[bunnygal079]

personally i always thought the 5200 version was way better than the NES..the characters are bigger and none of those annoying score numbers...

[clinch44]

bluto has a 5 for a head.

[clinch44]

I typed that so long ago I forgot about it. But when you're right you're right.

[fuzzywzhe]

How would you know it's Brutus and not Bluto?

they are basically the same character, only differentiated by a bunch of dirtbag scum sucking lawyers.

[1983parrothead]

If he has a hat on, it's Bluto. If not, then Brutus.

[1983parrothead]

@clinch44

Turn the other way around and he has a "2".

[delatroy]

CLASSIC. Great memories of this one! thanks

[flynbryan88]

Why does pluto"s head look like a five? I used to play this all the time. Remember how good the real arcade game was?

[ATARIASRELIGION1984]

man i remember when i would play this at my friends house on coleco...those were the days

[Mekkipatsi]

I remember this game!

[SILENT323z]

have you people notice that the musical theme for this game is a good oldie doo wop called i will follow him by little peggy march...just search it up here and hear it you well know what i'm talking about kool popeye game lol

[wutzernutzer]

Cool fact! I never noticed before!

[SILENT323z]

yea now that i think about it also sounds like stand by me by ben e. king that little theme song lol search it up... with a mix of i will follow him by little peggy march

[2199]

I had the one for the 5200 system. Parker had some good games.

[2199]

I had the one for the 5200. Parker Brothers didnt have that much of a selection for the 5200 system. Just for the 2600.

[LeroyBeavis]

Mario looks like Popeye and Donkey Kong looks like a chick, WTF? (just in case you couldn't figure out that this was a joke, this was a joke!)

[fecman94]

This Is A Very Well Made Port.

[Umma6umma]

Unfortunately, MESS does a fine job of emulating the rotten analog joystick action of the 5200, as you can probably see in the clip.

[MattTheSpratt]

I use Atari800Win because you can use digital controls.

[GozerJr]

The NES Version is so much better!

[1983parrothead]

@GozerJr

But the arcade version, the one that started it all, is the best.
