1* CreatorBacklash:
2** Creator/BarryOursler stated that ''Popeye Saves the Earth'' was one of his least favorite games he created:
3--->"Not really. Management wanted me to do another game with Python [Anghelo] to try and capture the 'magic' we had with previous collaborations. I wasn't too happy with the theme or the drawings that he had created. It was another scenario where the artwork was done first. I reluctantly agreed, due to pressure from "above". I think it was one of my two least favorite games that I designed, the other being BAD CATS." -- '''Barry Oursler''', ''[[http://www.thepinballblog.com/2009/04/pinball-heroes-barry-oursler.html The Pinball Blog]]'', 4 April 2009
4** While fan reception to the game itself is mixed, ''Popeye'' was eventually disliked by Williams/Bally/Midway themselves, according to Creator/SteveRitchie's [[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/rec.games.pinball/Brmc4Jdbn3s/-gE4nMsfJE4J post on rec.games.pinball]]. Steve also admitted that while it may not have been responsible for heralding an AudienceAlienatingEra for pinball like some say it is, it ''definitely'' didn't do anything to help, either.
