Popeye (Nintendo Entertainment System, 1986)

Product Specs

Description

Popeye may not eat spinach in this platform game, but he does punch it. Based on the “Popeye” arcade game, the original NES game differs from other platformers by the lack of a jump function. Popeye can climb ladders and punch everything from enemies to cans of spinach, but his feet are stuck securely to the surface. During play, you journey through the levels, picking up various items that Olive Oyl leaves behind. What makes this really unusual is that Brutus can jump, even though Popeye can't. Much like Pac-Man, Popeye cannot directly attack Brutus unless he has just had his spinach.
