Popeye Saves the Earth (Bally 1994)

Welcome Aboard!

Popeye Saves the Earth was released by Bally in 1994.  The physical pinball machine is the last machine produced as part of the "SuperPin" line which incorporates a wide body design.
 

I noticed a post on a VPin Facebook group that mentioned the Popeye digital version could really use a remaster but people thought it might not get any attention.  I checked the current Visual Pinball offerings for Popeye and, indeed, the game looked beautiful but was in need of new physics / sounds / VR Room, etc. Game On!
 

The intention on this mod was the obvious upgrades to modern physics/sounds, etc. but I also wanted a bright, colorful and light-hearted digital version that captures the beautiful color scheme.
 

Additionally, there are some script options that can harness the black and white origins of early Popeye cartoons that can be turned on or off.  Sample images are below.  Brightness levels are also available via magna save buttons.
