Screen Shots |
I haven't played Popeye extensively. Graphically some
elements are not too bad. But, in an effort to remain perhaps too faithful to
the arcade game, too many moving objects result in quite a bit of flicker in
this game. It's also tough to get Popeye to climb up and down the
stairs. The sound effects and music are pedestrian. As I'm not familiar with
the arcade game, I can't say how good this game measures up against the
original. Best Score:
11200 [Skill Level: 1]

I find the graphics a bit too chunky throughout this game, but for some reason, this level bothers me the most. |
