The NES was probably the closest. (And the Odyssey^2 the farthest.) See <http://www.mobygames.com/game/popeye/screenshots>. Signaturelkseitz (Lee K.

I, too, had an O^2. I didn't discover Popeye even existed until after the dawn of the internet (right around Mosaic and the primordial strands of the web). I got mine through an European deal. Considering it is O^2, it isn't that bad. But because it is O^2, it ain't great. > The Space Invaders clone gave me some good fun for awhile, and I > recall having a cart that allowed you to program in Basic! That would be Alien Invaders, Plus! (Always with the explanation marks in the game titles.) As to programming, there was Computer Intro which had a mock-assembler and psuedo machine language with 99 programmable bites. Over across the Pond, the G7000/G7400 family had a BASIC module under the VideoPac nomenclature. jt >> http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b180/jrgaf/suki-yaki-2008-03-20T045... >> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >I've never seen Popeye on a console, are there any console versions >that come close to nailing the graphics of the arcade version? Really???? Popeye was on consoles as far back as the Colecovision in 1982..... I had and have it.... > http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b180/jrgaf/suki-yaki-2008-03-20T045... > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Donkey Kong Jr. > Popeye My girlfriend is younger than the Nintendo Famicom.

The difference, of course, is that the Famicom actually exists. |
