Other platforms: Atari 8-bit, Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Commodore 64, ColecoVision, Intellivision, Odyssey 2, TI-99/4A Related games/sequels: Not very many, interestingly. Popeye and the Quest for the Woolly Mammoth (Windows - 1997) and Popeye: Rush for Spinach (GBA - 2005) Tips gdement: You get more points for collecting hearts on higher platforms, and your scoring doubles when you have spinach. Extra man at 50,000.There's a bonus gimmick on each stage which will get you bonus points of 500 or 1000. I found that punching the crow on the pirate ship is pretty easy.

rjchamp3 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 The game doesn't get any harder after level 10, however it is hard to pull off a feat due to the fact there is no pattern at all. Bluto AI is amazing and will find a way to get ya no score yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
