Olive Oil has been captured and Popeye must save her by fighting her kidnapper and knocking him into the ocean.

Brutus has captured Olive and tied her up. You must take control of Popeye and push Brutus back and knock him off the pier. Use the joystick controller to advance towards Brutus and then use the Hit button to land a blow. Land enough blows on Brutus and he'll be knocked backwards. But be careful, it only takes one blow for Brutus to knock Popeye backwards. If Brutus knocks Popeye all the way to the edge of the pier and knocks him off a miss will be scored. Three misses and the game is over.

• Every time Popeye knocks Brutus off the pier a can of spinach will move closer towards Olive until it's close enough for her to kick it towards Popeye. Catch the can of spinach and you'll knock Brutus on to a hook above and free Olive for some bonus points.
• If Popeye is backed up by Brutus all the way to the edge of the pier you can still avoid Brutus' punches by pressing the joystick controller right to lean backwards.
• In Game B watch out for the swordfish swimming below the pier which will stick Popeye when he's at the left edge of the pier sending him flying backwards and giving Brutus a chance to advance.

Popeye is one of three games that were re-released in the laterPanorama Screen format which, with it's tilt-able screen, managed to offer the same gameplay as this Table Top edition but in a more portable format and at a more affordable price.
