This is a one player game which you can start on one of three levels.  As you descend down the rope into the fortress, you enter a world full of deadl POPEYE 
 
My family has played POPEYE for over two years on our TI99/4A, so it was with great pleasure we got to play it on our Adam.  Our only disappointment was that this is the only game we've ever played that the graphics were better on the TI version.  In every other way, the Adam version was superior. 
In the first screen, Olive is tossing hearts for Popeye to catch while avoiding Bluto and his henchmen.  Bluto is always trying his best to clobber Popeye.  Bluto can reach down to the level below or grab up to the level above in trying to catch Popeye.  Popeye can only touch Bluto after he's eaten his spinach and turned green.  Bluto and his green hag friend throw bottles at Popeye when they are both on the same level.  The green hag throws only one bottle (but sometimes there are two, one on each side, at one time).  Bluto, on the other hand, will get mad and throw multiple bottles at Popeye.  Popeye must either move to another level to avoid the bottles or try to punch them out of his way.  At the top of the screen is a boxing glove.  If Popeye can hit the glove to release a basket on Bluto's head, he can gain extra points.  If a heart falls all the way to the bottom, the music changes and Popeye must go to the bottom to retrieve the heart before it turns white.  When Popeye has picked up all the hearts, he advances to the next screen. 
On the second screen, Popeye must catch all the musical notes.  He still has to avoid Bluto and all his henchmen.  Popeye can jump on a seesaw with Wimpy to catapult himself to the highest level.  When making this jump, if he hits Sweet Pea, he gets extra points.  There is spinach on this screen too.  After catching all the notes, Popeye goes on to the last screen. 
This screen is on board a ship.  Olive is up in the crow's nest throwing down the letters to spell "help".  As Popeye catches these letters, a ladder begins to be built up to where Olive is.  Besides Bluto and his henchmen from previous screens, you also have a rather nasty bird to deal with--but a well placed sock will knock the bird out of your way.  This is a fun game that is great for kids of all ages. My kids play this game over and over and over...........
