POPEYE

Loading instructions -
Hit SHIFT & RUN/STOP keys together.

Life's not all a bowl of spinach for Popeye as he hunts 
for hearts to win the love of Olive Oyl.  His rival, the 
macho Bluto, is not amused.  He thumps around 
making pulp of Popeye.

Olive Oyl demands a never-ending supply of love!  
Keep her sweet by collecting 25 scattered hearts and 
handing them over.  Take care to check Olive's 
loveometer.  When her love level starts to fade you 
must restore it by delivering some of the hearts you 
have collected.

The task is not easy.  Hearts can be anywhere - up the 
lighthouse, on board the ship, under the ocean, 
locked in the house, on the roof, inside the fruit 
machine...

It's not just the right door keys that Popeye needs to 
collect on his way.

The coin is for the fruit machine - but what's the lucky 
combination you must 'hold'?  And why is there an 
explosive fuse below the lighthouse?  It could have 
something to do with Popeye firing the cannon - but 
don't let him jump onto a red flame!

Don't get bowled over by the flying saucer as it passes 
the roof, but hop on and see where it takes you.

The sailor man is not the only one seeking Olive Oyl's 
love.  Bluto is his rival, pacing up and down outside 
Olive's house.  Avoid Bluto and all the other moving 
objects - giant birds, flying witches, snoring dragons 
and gnashing sharks - as they have a habit of 
knocking Popeye for six.  He'll survive if you have a tin 
of spinach in store for him, of course, but you can only 
carry 8 things around with you - including hearts and 
keys as well as tins of the life-giving green stuff.

Remember that as well as climbing up and down the 
stairs and ropes, Popeye can move backwards and 
forwards.  He can step into doorways out of harms 
way, go in and out of buildings and explore behind 
objects.  This takes care of most of his problems, but 
watch out for Bluto who switches from layer to layer 
on his patrol.

You score 1000 for each heart delivered, with a time 
bonus for delivering them all - and a special reward 
from Olive!
