Popeye (Wide Screen)

Popeye is a Wide Screen Game & Watch game released in 1981, under license from King Features Syndicate. The model code for this game is PP-23.

Gameplay: Players take control of Popeye The Sailor Man as he catches the things thrown by Olive Oyl. Missing 1 item is not a miss, but the 2nd time an item falls into the water, or Popeye is hit by Bluto's attacks counts as a miss. The game ends when the player gets 3 misses. In Game A, Bluto will try to hit Popeye with a hammer on the left, but in Game B, not only will Bluto try to hit Popeye with a hammer on the left, he will also try to punch him on the right, and will still count as a miss if Popeye gets punched. Olive Oyl swings a bell when the alarm goes off.

Trivia: Popeye was also released for the Tabletop and Panorama Game & Watch games, but those are different then the Wide Screen version. The alarm tone is also used in Helmet, Octopus, Parachute, and the Wide Screen re-release of Fire.
