+therealbountybob Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 had fun playing this in the HSC - issues with the original game but worth noting here: the accuracy of the punching is still not good; was this an oversite or can anyone do it reliably? the round counter is only single digit: goes back to 0 on round 10 !

Tempest Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Is this available as a .ROM or .CAR file? I'd like to use it with my TheCart but it doesn't do .XEX Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/242051-popeye-arcade-8-bit-conversion/page/2/#findComment-3348373 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+darryl1970 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I posted an update here. It's only the 5200 version until somebody converts it, but it's quite an update I think. 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/242051-popeye-arcade-8-bit-conversion/page/2/#findComment-3348788 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinroh Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) This is one that seriously needs a cart or disk release. You guys have been doing amazing things to that Popeye! My wife loves the NES port, but this could make her actually pay attention to my A8.

1NG Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Just played it and it totally rocks! Much better control and even better graphics now. I had a small bug. After I died, there stayed some graphics of the pm-graphics of popeye.

twh/f2 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Wow .. WELL DONE! That's so amazing! That version could easily catch up with the NES version, which was considered to be one of the best arcade conversions on that platform. I would be interested in a detailed comparison (thanks Poison for the screenshots). The differences in the first level are tremendous !!! 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/242051-popeye-arcade-8-bit-conversion/page/2/#findComment-3354163 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 5200 (Atari's best video game system ever) and A8 (xex -- Atari Computers) are almost identical hardware, but due to hardware changes, there are small differences in the memory registers. Due to this difference, it's not just as simple as plug and play. The versions should appear identical from a gameplay standpoint.

Tempest Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Finally got to try this. It's really really nice! One question though, I noticed that Popeye's punching sprite has been changed significantly. Now his arm no longer extends way out when he punches. Has the collision detection been changed as well? It seems like now you have to punch when the object is almost right next to you rather than a fair distance away.
