about
The Popeye arcade version of the theme only uses one channel, but it managed to be enough to be stuck in my head since the Atari 2600. I made this version in January 2019 after having to deal with some hard family issues to get my mind off it all. It helped.
I decided to play around and incorporate some of the other sound effects and elements from the game to see if I could make something happen with it. I was pretty happy with the results!
I meant to make this into a full Doc Isaac track with a sing-song opening, but it was not meant to be. This version is just fine without it though.
