I felt x-massy for some reason, and this was one of several x-mas games on the Amiga. It kinda sucks tho.")

Shitty game, but Ive done Popeye 1 once, and right before this one I did Popeye 2 (was requested), so why not do the third as well.
The opponents are easy. The same tactic can be used on all of them. As soon as you start grabbing each other, you just throw the opponents, then lay on them, then wait for them to knock you off, then you wait for them to be on you, then you knock them off and lay on them, repeat = win. Would be like a 6-7 min video if I did it like this + even more boring, so took my time, showed the moves and stuff. But got bored at the later opponents so started doing the tactic/trick then.
I have no idea how to grab stuff. I managed to grab a can of spinach by accident at one point.")

The RNG in this game makes it very hard. Theres no pattern to a bomb-fuse ignition, torch guns spraying fire, things falling. It can happen at any time and several times in a row, or just once with 5+ sec delay. Every time I load a state, everything happens differently. Like, I save, then stand still for 5 sec, stuff happens during that time, then I load the state and now things happen differently. Got hit by things constantly. You cant wait for the coast to be clear, as it never happens, you just have to go and hope for the best. You might think Ill wait for the flame torch thingy to shoot once and move immediately after, well, it might shoot 2 or 3 times in a row, or none at all.
You only have the 3 lives, which consists of 3 hearts, each heart is 3 hit points.
When you first play it you would think the game only has music, no sound effects, but they do exist. Well, just a couple - the exploding bombs and the game over voice... AFAIK. Added the game over thingy at the end.
All burgers need to be collected on each level for Wimpy to let you pass.
You need spinach to boost your arm strength so you can beat Brutus and that pink thing without losing a hit point. As soon as its depleted, move away quickly and try to get another one. They pop up randomly. Seems it mostly happens when I engage in a fight, which I dont want to when I dont have any strength, thus losing a hit point if hit, which happened a lot. So, I try my best to move close then run away without getting hit.
Wasnt until at the end of level 2 when I noticed the bomb in the panel shows the direction of a lit bomb (wasnt mentioned in the manual). At first I thought that its not fair that they can go off randomly like that outside the screen, taking a hit point each time, but now when I can see the direction, its okay.
I found three glitches/bugs. First one is Popeye gets locked in the last animation cycle (or whatever) he was in when Brutus dies. So sometimes after I defeated him, Popeye would just walk, lie down knocked out, or something else while the rescue music played. Second one is walking to the left at the beginning of each level makes him moonwalk (showed it on the last level). Third one is really annoying - you press fire to punch, and you do it as fast as you can against Brutus, but if you accidentally press one more time after hes dead, it skips the rescue part and proceeds immediately to the loading screen of the next game.
On the last level I didnt care about being careful anymore, so lost most of my lives and hit points there. Also jumped down into the water to show the stuff at the bottom.
The part of the music around 3:35 reminds me of the one in Bad Dudes/Dragon Ninja.

American Laser Games are arcade games where you use a gun and shoot stuff on a big screen. These games happen to run on my favorite Commodore Amiga, the Amiga 500. It uses Amigas genlock to display the video.

Quite an addictive little game. Simple and fun.
You get 60 seconds to solve each level, which is OK, but its weird they count UP to 60 instead of down to 0 from 60.
It says it has 6 levels, which it kind of does, but after youve completed those and choose to restart the puzzle, you get 6 new ones with pictures in the background which makes it much harder.
At the end of each 6 rounds, you are given an IQ score. Both of mine were awful, so I did the first 6 levels again, not just to take revenge on the bad IQ score comments, but also to do them all in time... this time, as I didnt finish level 5 and 6 before the timer ran out.
So... Your IQ is that of a gnat! - Well, fuck gnat! (pun on that, Im so funny :P)
Heres the different messages you can get, depending on how high/low you score:
- Better you dont know.
- Well....darn
- Awful!
- Not pretty.
- OK for Policework
- That of a gnat.
- Just a rumour.
- An illusion.
- Quite simply, fiction.
- Im too nice to tell.
- A faery tale.
- Dreadful.
- Awful.
- You A Polititian?
- OK for Politics.
- Not A Threat to ME!
- Good For your Garden.
- Getting higher.....
- Above Average
- Excellent
- Very High.
- Quite majestic.
- A thing to behold!
- Amoung the stars!
- Unmeasurable.
- Higher than mine!!!
- Exalted, grand, noble.
- Unbelievable!!
- Are you cheating?
I could get the Are you cheating?, but not worth it. Higher than mine!!! was good enough :)")

Cant have both sfx and music, so chose music as its more fun to play then, and maybe watch as well. Sure, not a long tune, so loops maaaany times.
The game itself is so-so. Picked it only because Im in the mood to play some shoot-em-up thingies and hadnt played this one before.
Difficulty 11/10")
![Amiga Longplay [255] Arctic Moves](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hTy4fCxAFxA/hqdefault.jpg "Amiga Longplay [255] Arctic Moves
And this was the third and final game in the Moves series (Army Moves, Navy Moves, Arctic Moves), and also the best one. I liked the alien part the most.
Bit too easy. Too much health and ammo everywhere, so I skipped a bunch, cuz felt like being a thug. I did have to replay a portion as I noticed the time thingies were quite important :), but didnt need ALL those, but most.
The outro just ends like that. The spaceship attaches to station, the end.")

Yeah, bad arcade port I guess. Runs very slow on a stock Amiga 500 (I played on a 1200).
Insanely difficult. Its impossible to not die a bunch of times. Some encounters can just take all your health in seconds. Sure, would have helped a bit running it on a standard slow Amiga 500 where things runs slooow, but even then you would 100% have died several times anyway before beating the game.
The girl you kinda rescue at 12:44 can be killed, was just 1-2 more shots on her and she would have fallen to the ground. So, even if you only kill the guy and not her, she would still die on the next screen. Normally as I wanna show as much of a game as possible, I would have killed her to show her lying down, but skipped it as I would feel bad about it :P, even though she is alive and then dies on the next screen. So, whether I kill her or not, the outcome is the same.
Whats weird is the game has a lot of different tunes, but only one is played - the title music. I checked the music file (yes, all tunes are in one file) and theres a bunch. No matter the emulated system and settings, heck even disk version (tried cracked adf, ipf and WHDLoad versions... longplayed the ipf version ofc), it still only played the title music. I checked clips of this game on YouTube from both Atari ST and Amiga versions, and none of the 5 or so Amiga clips had music (just wanted to see in case someone else managed to get it working), BUT, the ST version has music during the parts between the stages (the one with a picture and text underneath).
Ive run into a case like this before - The Coin-Op version of Turtles. Only title music there as well, none elsewhere, yet the music file has a bunch of different ones. If the different tunes were different files, I could have guessed maybe they didnt play them during game as they didnt have enough memory for both gfx+sfx and music, but then at least they could have added code to check if the user has more than 512kb/1mb of memory and used the music.
Also, the game only requires 512kb of memory, and its weird it refuses to work with expanded memory, like 512kb in FAST mem. So, would only run with CHIP memory, but could be any size apparently. Normally when a game is advertised to need 512kb, it would still work with that in both CHIP and FAST.")

Gathered a bunch of Amiga titles with Christmas words in them. Turns out this one wasnt a game, but longplayed it anyway :)")
