+MrFish Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Thanks Miker, and Homesoft. As a side-note, this version of Popeye gets its Bluto graphic from this older 5200 hack: 5200 Popeye - New Bluto There's an 8-bit conversion of this one as well, but I forget the source of it. I can post a copy if anyone is interested, although at this point it's just a lesser version of what you see here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goochman Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 If this was converted from the 5200 maybe try the # or * key Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MARIO130XE Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Popeye... The Arcade Version was one of my very 1st Cabinets I was falling in love with. I really love the game but the Atari 8 bit version always had this sprite collision issue, if you try to punch the bottles. At least it looks better than the C64 Version but I wish we could have the sprites from the NES Version. Anyway, thanks for a very nice mod of a great classic game.

Centurion Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Awesome! I've been playing the Parker Bros. version lately and really enjoying it, but I can't wait to try this. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARIO130XE Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) Just found this 'Let's compare' clip on youtube. Seems the XL/XE 5200 remake was one of the best. Edited August 29, 2015 by MARIO130XE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Popeye - 17,690 bet you meant to post this in the HSC thread eh? Had Popeye go through a heart or whatever the falling things are on the first screen (might have been two near each other) but more seriously: when waking left on the 2nd screen (on long plaftorm) with spinnach and Brutus was walking left, I went straight through him - usually I punch him but I wasn't paying attention and forgot! (Playing on PAL 130XE). How about improving that Olive signature too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+darryl1970 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 (edited) I created a Brutus player a long time ago to replace the current A8. (It wasn't very pretty back in the day, and I didn't change the color register; so black still didn't show up well) I made this a few months ago. I was thinking about hacking the A8 again (as well as some other system), and I drew this with the A8 player maker. I happened upon this thread and figured I would offer this up if interested. I know I'd never take the time to reproduce such an awesome Popeye title screen. That is impressive! I only have the walking frames completed, but I would be more than happy finish off the other frames if these could be used. I always hated that his head looked like an "S" or a number "5". This uses two players. When the brown and violet overlap, it produces a flesh color. Popeye... The Arcade Version was one of my very 1st Cabinets I was falling in love with.
