Description from Intellivision catalog

Now you're the King of Spinachin a battle for Olive's love!

Are you ready to climb ladders, jump landings, eat spinach and punch out Brutus, Seahag and the flying Bernard? Because that's what it takes to win Olive Oyl's hand in marriage. You'll score points by defeating your enemies and collecting the "love tokens" Olive drops from her window. The more you collect, the more points you'll score and the faster you'll win her love. But watch out. Around every corner lurks another jealous suitor. You'll have to think with your head as well as your heart to win this fast action love affair!

THE ORIGINAL MACHO MAN

Olive Oyl is your one true love, but it takes more than spinach power to win her affections--and her hand in marriage. The suiters fly at you with everything they have. You're going to have to climb ladders and take other precarious avenues to reach the object of your desire.

GAME PLAY: As Popeye you're going to have to battle jealous foes through three increasingly hazardous levels to win Olive Oyl's heart. You have to catch the hearts, musical notes, and letters she throws. Could they be love letters-- only if you can defeat the dastardly suitors Brutus, Bernard (who flies into rages easily), and Seahag. You have to keep all the tokens of Olive's affection afloat, and you get to move to higher ground. Pluck Bernard's feathers or dump Brutus on your way. The higher you go, the tougher it gets. It takes more than a can of spinach to fight to the finish and win the "goyl of your dreams."

Put yourself in Popeye's place. You've got a daffy girlfriend who goes by the name of Olive Oyl. Right now, she's got you running in circles, chasing hearts and notes all over the place. (Well, blow me down!)

Then, there's that blubber-brain, Brutus, who's out to get you. (He's meaner than mean!!) While you're dashing around, he's taking shots to knock you overboard.

And if that's not bad enough--you've got that nasty ol' biddy, the Sea Hag, pelting you with bottles. And vultures diving right for your head. (Yikes!)

Now you'd think with all this going on, you could rely on your spinach. NO CHANCE! It's there one second--gone the next. (When you do grab it, Brutus is in big trouble!)

So go ahead, put yourself in Popeye's place--if you think you can handle all the action!

Mettez-vous à la place de Popeye. Vous avez une petite amie un peu toquée qui s'apelle Olive Oyl! Présentement elle s'amuse à vous faire tourner en rond à la poursuite de petits coeurs et de petites notes douces qu'elle vous lance un peu partout. (Ah, ce qu'on fait quand on est en amour).

Naturellement, il y a aussi cet espèce de nigaud, Brutus, qui essaie de vous attraper. (Il est un des personnages les plus mesquins qui soit!!) Pendant que vous courez un peu partout, il essaie de vous faire tomber à l'eau.

Et comme si cela n'état pas assez de problèmes, vous devez aussi éviter de vous faire attraper par les bouteilles que vous lance cette vieille toupie Sea Hag. Et aussi éviter les vautours qui tentent de vous piquer directement sur la tête. Vous devez même éviter des crânes bondissants. (Ça donne la frousse!)

Et vous penseriez bien qu'avec tout ce branle-bas vous pourriez au moins compter sur vos épinards. QUELLE MALCHANCE! Ils sont là un moment, et ils disparaissent comme par enchantement. (Mais lorsque vous réussissez à les prendre, Brutus, est vraiment dans le pétrin!). Alors, n'hésitez pas, passez à l'action si vous croyez que vous pouvez prendre la place de Popeye.
