Popeye is an arcade-style platformer released by Parker Brothers for the Atari 5200 in 1984. The game is based on the classic Popeye cartoon and features the titular sailor as he navigates various levels to collect hearts, musical notes, and letters, all while avoiding the antagonistic Brutus and the Sea Hag.

In the game, players control Popeye as he climbs platforms to retrieve falling items. Each level has a specific item to collect, and players must avoid or confront enemies to achieve their goal. The gameplay is confined to a single screen per level, and players must manage their movements carefully to avoid hazards and complete objectives.
