What Popeye is

Popeye was developed by DK'Tronics Ltd and released in 1985. It is available on Amstrad CPC, Commodore C64/128/MAX and ZX Spectrum.

The premise, in the publisher's words

The object of the game is to collect hearts and deliver them to Olive Oyle to keep her 'lovemeter' topped up. Points are scored for hearts delivered. Bluto, UFO's, witches etc try to stop you. Some hearts are behind locked doors so you've got to find the right key to open the door and get them while others can be grabbed simply by jumping up to get them. Somewhere there's a fruit machine for which you need to collect 'spin' items.
