Wow - I didn't think anything could be worse than the unfinished Apple II homebrew port of this game - but the Odyssey 2 version might have done it!! Amazing. 😝
Really regret not having the Texas Instruments 99/4 version back in the day. Did not know about it until years later but it’s a fine port. I was fascinated by the arcade game as a 7 year old who also loved Donkey Kong. Now nearing 50. Have my own custom arcade setup with twin sticks and trackball. Around 1000 classic games. 4 ports of Popeye and over half a dozen ports of Donkey Kong.
Yeah I had a Ti994a also. Had Donkey Kong, Burgertime, and Congo Bongo. Not sure why I didn’t have this game or just didn’t know it was available. It’s the better looking port at the time.
I played a bootleg romhack of the NES version on a famiclone handheld. It removes the copyrighted elements and replaces the characters with generic cartoon animals.
"Mom, can I get that Popeye video game?"
"We have Popeye video game at home."
Popeye video game at home - 9:29
Now there's an Atari 7800 homebrew that's amazing...

Woow I wish I was your neighbor 🥲
I had the TI-994A version and was thankful it was really decent for the time.

There is also a 5200 home brew - several versions where they kept refining the graphics and did an awesome job.
Never knew there were this many Popeye ports, let’s see what’s up.
Edit: Oh my goodness, Odyssey 2..
😂Odyssey 2😂
I have to say colecovision did an awesome job.

Time for knuckle sandwich for bluto
Was this supposed to be the original donkey kong arcade when neither jumpman or mario existed?
That was the plan, but didn't work out.
I know how Mario all started
I think the nes is the best and colecovison and atari 5200 cause they have the sounds and graphics down well and also cause I own them hehe.
Cool
ODYSSEY THE BEST!
Aghhhhhh it bad 9:51
😂
