ctelkin19 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) Popeye 34,250. My reliable light sixer's game select switch decided to go out on me. Broke out my Vader & it's got quite a bit of interference going on.

kermit73 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Here's how you expose the glitch (i.e. what NOT to do to have your score count): 1) On the first board, collect at least 8 hearts. 2) Lose a Popeye. 3) Hit the spinach and punch Bluto before the display at the top of the screen switches from remaining lives to your score. In the video, the score changes to 114120. I've posted additional details in the comments for this video on YouTube. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy B. Coyote Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Whenever I play a game in the HSC that I've played before my goal is always to beat my previous personal best high score, and after an hour or so of playing Popeye tonight I did it! I'm not super good at this game, but it always makes me happy when I can do better than I've ever done before My previous personal best was 54,250 and tonight I got...

Absalon Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) it's my first time playing Popeye on the 2600. I like it so far. Without knowing how, I obviously hit the glitch on the first gaming session.. 8-) guess it's time for some more bonus points ?
