Welcome to the game. Once Popeye has appeared on the screen, you will have to start walking to the right to collect a can of spinach and a hamburger; once you've done so, you'll have to walk back to the left, climb up a ladder to another platform and walk to the left to collect another hamburger (causing a 50lb weight to fall down below you). You shall then have to jump to the right onto a third platform, to defuse a bomb - and once you have done so, you will have to jump back to the left onto the second platform, and continue climbing up the ladder to a fourth platform. You will then have to walk to the left to collect another hamburger; once you have done so you will have to jump to the right onto a fifth platform, climb up another ladder to a sixth one, jump back to the left onto a seventh one and pass Eugene for 500 extra points. You will then have to climb up a third ladder to an eighth platform, jump to the right onto a ninth one while watching for a bouncing spring, climb up a fourth ladder to a tenth platform, and walk to the right to collect third hamburger - and once you have done so, you shall have to jump back to the left onto an eleventh platform (and jump over a rolling barrel), then jump back to the left onto a twelfth platform and defuse another bomb. You will now have to jump back to the right onto a fourth ladder and climb up it to a thirteenth platform (while watching out for another rolling barrel); once you have done so you will have to walk back to the left and collect a fourth hamburger. You will then have to jump down to the right onto a fifteenth platform and jump to the right onto a sixteenth one to collect another can of spinach - and once you have done it, you will have to climb up a fifth ladder to a seventeenth platform (while watching out for a third rolling barrel). You will now have to jump back to the left over a fourth rolling barrel and jump back to the left onto an eighteenth platform to defuse a third bomb; once you have done so, you will have to climb up a sixth ladder to a nineteenth platform and jump over a fifth rolling barrel, jump to the right onto a twentieth one (while watching out for a flame jumping out of an oil drum) and jump up onto a twenty-first one to defuse a fourth bomb and collect a fifth hamburger. You shall now have to drop back down to the twentieth platform, climb up a seventh ladder to a twenty-second platform and walk to the right to collect a sixth hamburger - and once you have done so you'll have to walk back to the left (while watching out for a second bouncing spring), climb up an eighth ladder to a twenty-third platform and walk to the left to give the six hamburgers you collected to Mr. Wimpy. You shall now have to climb down a ninth ladder to a twenty-fourth platform and walk to the right to defuse a fourth bomb; once you have done so, you will have to climb back up the ninth ladder to a twenty-fifth platform, walk to the right, climb up a tenth ladder to a twenty-sixth platform (while watching for a falling barrel), and walk to the left to defuse fifth bomb (while watching out for another flame jumping out of another oil drum). You then have to drop down to the right onto a twenty-seventh platform, jump down to the right onto a twenty-eighth one, while watching out for another falling barrel, climb up an eleventh ladder to a twenty-ninth one (and wait for Swee'Pea to fall down onto it after he crawls off the right edge of a thirtieth one, then touch him to freeze him) - and once you've done so you will have to jump back to the left onto two more platforms in turn, and climb up a twelfth ladder to the thirtieth one (while watching out for a sixth rolling barrel). A Goon will then emerge from a crate as a third can of spinach bounces up from the bottom of the screen (if Popeye misses it when it falls back down it will bounce up again in a different, random, position); once Popeye has collected it, you shall have to make him punch the Goon until he recedes back into the crate.
You shall then have to walk to the right, climb up a thirteenth ladder to a thirty-third platform and walk to the right to defuse a sixth bomb (while watching out for two more rolling barrels, a third flame jumping out of a third oil drum and a blowlamp on a thirty-fourth platform); once you've done so, you'll have to jump back to the left onto thirty-fifth platform (while watching out for a third bouncing spring and falling barrel), climb up a fourteenth ladder to a thirty-sixth one while watching out for a ninth rolling barrel and walk to the right as a fourth can of spinach bounces up into view from the bottom of the screen (again, if Popeye misses it when it falls back down, it shall bounce up again in a different location). Once Popeye has collected it, you will have to make him climb up a fifteenth ladder to a thirty-seventh platform while watching out for a tenth rolling barrel, walk to the right, and punch Brutus repeatedly (if Brutus hits Popeye with his club and knocks him down or Popeye runs out of "spinach power" another can of spinach will bounce up into view from the bottom of the screen for him to collect) - and once Popeye has punched Brutus enough times to defeat him, he'll fall down off the bottom of the screen. Popeye will then walk up to Olive as a heart appears between the two of them and the remaining value on the bonus timer (which starts at 400) will be added to your score, unless it has run out; Popeye shall then proceed to Level 2 (and the password for this level in the Amiga version is SUBURBAN).
