HOW TO PLAY

Olive throws things and Popeye has to pick them up while avoiding the
attacks of Brutus, Seahag and Bernard. In round I, Olive throws hearts; in
round II, musical notes; and in round III, letters of the alphabet. Try to
pick them all up before they sink in the water.

Popeye's Purpose: To collect everything thrown by Olive.
Round I: Collect the hearts.
Round II: Collect the musical notes.
Round III: Collect the letters (H,E,L and P)

Tricks
*Use the ladder.
*Popeye can take a shortcut by running through the side of the TV screen at
the places shown below. [Where it says THRU!]
*Press the punch button to punch bottles, skulls, and Bernard. If Popeye
punches spinach, he will gain extra power for a while.
*In round II, avoid attacks from Brutus and the others by using the jumping
board.

Scoring
*Points for hearts, musical notes, and letters differ depending on which
floor they are picked up on. Popeye scores double when he is powered up by
spinach.
*When Popeye is powered up by spinach, he can knock out Brutus (3000 pts.).
Popeye also scores for punching bottles, skulls or Bernard (100 pts. for
bottles and skulls, 1000 pts. for Bernard).
*You also get points when you cover Brutus with the tub. You gain more
points on the lower floors.
3rd floor       1000 pts.
2nd floor       2000 pts.
1st floor       4000 pts.

Bonus
If your score exceeds 20,000 pts., you get one extra Popeye and a fanfare.

Beware!
The following are deadly to Popeye:
1. Popeye is bumped by Brutus or Bernard.
2. Popeye is hit by an up/down attack by Brutus.
3. A bottle thrown by Brutus hits Popeye.
4. A skull thrown by Seahag hits Popeye.
5. A heart, musical note, or letter sinks in the water.
When any of these occur, one Popeye is lost. The game is over when all
Popeyes have been lost.

Rounds
After you pick up everything, you proceed to the next round. The higher the
round, the more often Popeye gets attacked. Compete to see who gets the
highest score or who lasts the most rounds!
