Popeye.
Season 2, Week 13 of Score Chasing begins Saturday, December 12, 2023 at 12:00:01 PST (GMT-8) featuring Popeye, the arcade version. This article will tell you everything you need to know about how to join our group and play.
PLEASE NOTE: this score chasing event is for adults, age 18 and older, so if you aren’t yet 18, then please return when you are.
First, let’s learn more about Popeye (Arcade). How is the game played, via Arcade-Museum:
You play Popeye who must win the love of Olive Oyl in three different scenarios while avoiding the nasty Bluto. Your main weapon against this relentless brute is the cans of spinach that appear at the beginning of each screen. You must dodge the projectiles thrown by Bluto and the Sea Hag, as well as Bluto’s punches.

At the top of this post, you’ll see a Popeye event promo image with a QR Code created by PGM member, Gamer_Nix. This will take you directly to the official PGM iScored Score Chasing Scoreboard at the spot where you will enter your score on Joust (Arcade). Where can you play? Here are a few suggestions (alphabetical order) but is not a complete list by any means:
- Arcade – yes, check your local area for barcades, arcades, mallcades, etc. You might have an Popeye arcade machine nearby and play might still be a quarter!
- Various Emulated / MAME / CoinOpsX / etc – emulated versions of Popeye (Arcade) are allowed, but we do not typically link to these sources.
- The Internet Archive has a DMCA exception and offers play in the browser here: Popeye (Arcade) : Nintendo : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive
Now that you have located where to play Popeye, simply start playing to establish your personal best score. The goal of score chasing is not a typical leaderboard high score, be the top score tournament. We simply want you to play and beat your personal best. Every time you do, you’ll update your score on the PGM iScored Scoreboard here and linked in the QR code of the image at the top of this article: https://www.iscored.info/?mode=public&user=Playgamesmore&scrollTo=39614
