I recently went to the pinball office, and that was the only table I didnt play, I looked at it and thought na !
probably plays ok, but just looking at it puts me on edge
Yep . . . that looks just like her

It's a wonderful thread mate, I was reading it yesterday. Well played
You probably needed a quick change of underwear when you woke up
If we get a Popeye at Pinfest, I wonder if we can beat the old NLP lock-in queue to play it, @Sgt GrizZ will have a photo somewhere I'm sure!

Ok, I’m heading to the pinball office this weekend, and I’ll make an effort to play popeye. Who knows, I may even fall in love with it
You going on Sat or Sun mate?

Saturday mate, taking my best mate, who knows nothing about pinball, so I’m trying to convert him
Make sure you play Popeye because next week it won’t be here anymore. After your previous comment, Popeye felt unloved and unwanted and decided to leave the Club. And move in the opposite building where it can rest in peace. Beside this, it was costing me a fortune in Spinach for every Saturday. He demanded 5 cans of spinach for every hour of labour. That’s 20 in total. Cheeky Popeye! So this will be the last chance to play it. Something new will replace Popeye next week so don’t worry. Hint: it won’t run on Spinach!
NLP 2017 Good times - I believe that was the last pinball show I attended. ....Could never top taking Popeye so no point
Would be great to catch up but unlikely mate afraid to say , I think my pin show days are behind me.
Legends of Vahalla. I tested about 2018 maybe, helped him with some stuff and it came as a surprise when I saw it on PinHeaven the other week. Looks decent.

As a newbie I'm looking forward to playing most of the machines, but I am really hoping to see and play,

Total Nuclear Annihilation
Ghost Busters
Swords of Fury
Bram Stoker's Dracula
That's pretty much a copy and paste of my wanted list, in the correct order for now lol

Sgt Grizz your popeye was mine at one time and I still have the swords of fury that I swapped it for. To add to the history I bought the popeye in Hong Kong around 2003 out of the back of a 10 pin bowling alley that was in the old airport building. It was alongside 3 others I bought at same time and they were literally just behind the pins in the alley. It was so noisy in there with all the resetting of the bowling pins. In 2004 I moved to Malaysia and the machine came with me. It was actually smuggled into malaysia as I didn't have a gaming licence that was required to own them in Malaysia. They hid it at the back of the container of furniture along with 4 others and we hoped for the best. Unfortunately customs found it and confiscated it alongside the 4 other machines in same container. They gave me the option of 1. Have them destroyed. 2. Re-export. 3. Pay for them to store whilst i set up a company and licenced the company to run an amusement arcade. Clearly no 3 wasn't going to work and no 1 was last resort. So I had the machines re-exported down to Singapore by the same moving company. They then smuggled the 5 machines back across the causeway from Singapore to Malaysia in the back of somebody else's household contents container. It took about 3 months from leaving Hong Kong to getting the 5 machines including popeye delivered to my house in penang malaysia. Fortunately when I returned to the UK in 2007 customs here just saw them as household contents so I didn't have to deal with the same. In Malaysia I was always in fear that I would get a knock at the door and they would confiscate the machines.Get yourself a coffee, or something stronger as its almost midday, and step right this way into a new and brighter world

From memory I think it had dm coin slots on it too as did a lot of machines that were in Asia. So it may well have started out life in Germany.
Your popeye certainly has some history.
I would love to see a popeye at pinfest.
And I still have your swords of fury.
