Pac-eye Popman Popeye Pac-man

Oh how I've missed Popeye on Nintendo. I promised myself last year to get the record and it just hasn't happened.

I was reading an interview with the creators of Donkey Kong and Popeye and they pointed out something that I have long forgotten... Popeye is Nintendo's Pacman. In Pacman you collect dots and in Popeye you collect hearts, notes, and letters. Pacman has tunnels but so does Popeye. Pacman has energizers but so does Popeye (spinach).

It's nice to see a game so radically different be in all actuality be the same...
