Funny thing about the 'Popeye' game; Donkey Kong was originally supposed to be a game about Popeye, but nintendo didn't get the rights, so they replaced all the sprites with new characters. After the huge success of Donkey Kong, Nintendo then gained the rights to use the characters. Funny though, that if they hadn't declined we wouldn't have both the Mario and the Donkey Kong franchises.

Yeah, it's amazing how that one little thing helped create some of the most iconic characters in gaming. My mind is blanking right now, but I think they had Donkey Kong, Jr. setup right next to it, so that's a nice subtle nod to its history.
Thats pretty damn awesome of them!!, whats the name of the arcade where they did they?
Pinball Wizard Arcade in Pelham, NH.
did that*
That is so fucking cool! It would blow my mind to walk in to an arcade and see this there!
Awesome! I'm glad you found it. The people in charge over there contacted us to get the marquee art and stuff.
They really took some amazing initiative to set themselves apart from all the other arcades out there by doing that.
SO COOL!
Where did you find that arcade machine? I loved the game and i want some more abobo!
I found it at the Pinball Wizard Arcade in Pelham, NH.
