Game & Watch: Popeye (Wide Screen)

Handheld game published 44 years ago:

Popeye (c) 1981 Nintendo Co., Ltd.

The player controls the eponymous Popeye, who has to catch objects thrown by Olive Oyl, while at the same time avoiding Bluto's attacks. If Popeye is upright in the center of the boat, he's safe from Bluto's attacks, but he may miss objects thrown by Olive Oyl. The game speeds up as it progresses, and Olive Oyl will start throwing more than one objects at the same time.

In Game B, Brutus jumps back and forth from the boat on the right to the pier on the left, making it harder to avoid him.
