Popeye (Nintendo, 1986)

My enjoyment of classic video games far exceeds the fun I have playing modern video games. For one, classic video games that are cartridge-based (instead of CD- or DVD-Rom) seem to last forever, so I still have working games that I bought in elementary school. The cartridges merely require occasional cleaning. Second, due to the lack of 8+ button controllers and insanely good visual effects, classic games are more fun to play, because you can learn to play them immediately and they don't rely on visual masturbation to entertain the players. Donkey Kong is one of my favorite games of all time, and I currently have the 6th highest score for Donkey Kong on the Nintendo (validated by Twin Galaxies). I remembered a friend of mine had Popeye when we were kids, but I never really played it. It looked similar to Donkey Kong, so I bought Popeye on eBay since Nintendo games are difficult to find anywhere else except flea markets and thrift stores. Needless to say, Popeye is awesome and very addicting. Hopefully I will be able to submit a score to Twin Galaxies and be in the top 10 scores for Popeye, too.

Hi!
I like Popeye it's always been one of my favorite arcade game. The Nintendo game is a a lot better than the commodore 64 version I have. Thanks again for doing business with me.
