Popeye 2

Ack-ack-ack-ack! Popeye is having a very bad day - his rather skinny girlfriend Olive Oyl has been kidnapped by Brutus, the brutish, black-hearted beast!

Gameplay

Popeye has to make his way through several scrolling platform-filled screens. Collect Wimpy's hamburgers, defuse bombs and tackle hazards galore.

Graphics And Sound

The graphics are very good indeed. Huge colourful sprites and bright, attractive backgrounds all help the look of the game. The opening music is a lush rendition of the Popeye anthem. Spot effects are sparse but effective.

Verdict

Overall 76%
Good fun but possibly just too difficult.
