ColorDMD Announces POPEYE!!!

ColorDMD is excited to announce support for Popeye Saves The Earth pinball machines! Hghly regarded by collectors as one of the most innovative pinball games of all time, Popeye currently tops the Pinside charts at #272 on the Pinside Top 100!

Popeye, easily one of the most highly requested titles for the ColorDMD treatment (seriously... Phoebe wouldn't stop asking), joins the lineup as the 23rd supported title in the ColorDMD lineup and 9th new title release in 2015!

If it comes as any surprise that Popeye didn't receive our attention sooner, thank no other than strongman Dave (Taxman) Tcaks! Dave pays tribute to the vision of pioneering preservationists, Popeye and Python Anghelo, and their combined mission to replenish the earth's rainforests through using only watering cans and some kind of boat.



Though the pinball world lost Python last year, his legend lives on in Popeye's audacious theme and playfield layout. Popeye contains rich artwork and deep DMD animations that look outstanding when viewed through Dave's talented eye. Dave packs a 1-2 punch, also bringing to bear his Masters Degree in Computer Science and 30 years in software development.

The ColorDMD for Popeye Saves the Earth pinball machines leverages the company's easy-to-install ColorDMD SIGMA platform and supports six different rendering styles. Multicolor operation is enabled through free download and installation of a game-specific ROM using a USB drive. The display may be reconfigured for use with any supported title.

Displays are in stock now for immediate shipping, and the color ROM for Popeye will be available for download from our site by June 19, 2015.

Thank you for your continued support! Stay tuned as we continue to roll out a number of new developer projects throughout the summer!

At least the more of them out there, the more that will show up for sale used. Which means I might actually get a chance to own one some day.

maybe the owner of the company owns this game

I doubt it, the last few releases have been colorized by a third party person who doesn't work for ColorDMD but owns the game and loves it. I mean who would colorize let alone own a turd like Monopoly? Just kidding luch and too bad your game started to act up the first time I played it but it does look fun.

Popeye is a pretty deep game and fun as hell IMO. I will get another one someday as I didn't come close to finishing it.

Agree Popeye is fun and agree this is one very odd choice. Popeye is still cheap -- it's a good value pin, nothing more. It doesn't hold a candle to any of the B titles or even C titles for that matter. It's value is very well earned. Cann't see many folks with a Popeye dropping the coin to mod a game that doesn't at least command a decent dollar.
