Nintendo Popye worth?

That's about right as long as it is working and in good cosmetic condition. Not a "steal" per se, but a reasonable price.

I play my popeye all the time, I cant understand what pushes the value of this game down.

Maybe because it only has 3 levels before it repeats? That being said, it gets REALLY challenging w/ everyone throwing bottles at you like crazy once the stages start to repeat.
 
I would say what keeps the price down is two things. One is it is a hard game and the other is they come up all the time.
At least around here, this game comes up on CL more than any other game. I saw at least a dozen for sale locally in the past year.
I also enjoy mine. I play it regularly.
 
Lets make a Popeye game where you're running around grabbing a bunch of hearts. Are you kidding me?!?! WTF? Popeye should be kicking some ass. This is one of the lamest games Nintendo came out with... and it is priced accordingly. On the bright side, you should be able to convert it to DK with little trouble. :cool:

I have to agree with this. I want to like the game, but I don't.

Keep it in perspective with all the other 80s era arcade games, everything was pretty shallow ie. circle eating dots.. repeat, triangle ship shooting rocks ..repeat so on and so forth.
Everyone knows popeye had the hots for olive oil. I dont even think Chuck Norris can overcome the power of sexual attraction.

One the one hand, I agree. On the other hand, that's pretty much what every Popeye cartoon was - him trying to win Olive Oyl's affection with a 15 second Bluto-ass kicking at the end. It's pretty faithful to the source material. :)
 
Popeye is the machine you play until the one you really want to play becomes available :)

hahaha!
well said deadly.

I would say that's a good price for one. A great price would be $150. A steal would be at $50.

To put it in perspective, a couple years ago people could get $400 for their Popeyes, now $300 is tough.
 
No I miss the boat on it also, even though I saw the listing 10 minutes after is was posted on CL I sat on the fence for to long deciding if I should buy it or not. Now its gone

happens all the time. Join the club, we have shirts. :)
 
Popeye is a must have in the arcade for the sounds and attract mode, but I get tired of playing it pretty quickly.

Love hearing it playing while I work or play others though.
