I really wish someone would make an adaption for my Ipad or Iphone of Popeye like they've done for Pacmanand Frogger. Compared to today's three dimensional high definition games that you can play online against dozens of people who can be located anywhere in the world at once Popeye is really 'old school' but it is still one of my favorite games of all time and I have really fond memories of those arcade visits of my youth. But if you gained enough points and grabbed a can of spinach you could super punch Bluto off the screen and keep him from kidnapping your beloved Olive Oyl. You played the famous comic strip sailerman trying to grab the hearts thrown out by your love Olive Oyl as the bully Bluto chases after you trying to knock your block off.
My favorite video game of the time was Popeye which I spent hours upon hours playing with dollars upon dollars of quarters. Growing up in the 80's one of my biggest thrills was a trip to the local arcade and playing the high-tech 8-bit games of the time, like Donkey Kong, Burger Time, Q-bert, and Pacman, with their neon blinking lights and chirping sound effects that left us kids in awe and amazement.
