Ikrananka Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Popeye Put yourself in Popeye's place. You've got a daffy girlfriend who goes by the name of Olive Oyl. Right now, she's got you running in circles, chasing hearts and notes all over the place. (Well, blow me down!)Then, there's that blubber-brain, Brutus, who's out to get you. (He's meaner than mean!) While you're dashing around, he's taking shots to knock you overboard.And if that's not bad enough - you've got that nasty ol' biddy, the Sea Hag, pelting you with bottles. And vultures diving right for your head. (Yikes!)Now you'd think with all this going on, you could rely on your spinach. NO CHANCE! It's there one second - gone the next. (When you do grab it, Brutus is in big trouble!)So go ahead, put yourself in Popeye's place - if you think you can handle all the action!

+SpiceWare Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I share a few tips in this video I made a few weeks ago. Thanks! I'd figured out how to drop the bucket, but didn't realize how much it was worth (same with punching Brutus w/the spinach). Also didn't know that grabbing Swee'Pea (the baby) was worth anything, nor that you could punch the birds. That should make it a little easier - trying to avoid the birds on the ship wasn't working out very well Just tracked down the manual and see that hearts/notes/etc are worth double points when the spinach power-up is active, and that the bucket-on-Brutus is worth more if he's on the lower levels. As an aside, Digital Press has a nice assortment of ColecoVision manuals, maybe the manual could be linked to in the initial post from now on?
