Quoted from Jesterfunhouse:I have owned Popeye twice and once you play it enough you realize how deep it is. I have only played Flint at shows and I like Popeye better. It is also a favorite with kids.
I'm in the same boat...pun intended. I like deeper, more challenging games so for me, Popeye is the much better game.
That said, I would absolutely buy both and sell off Flintstones to pay for Popeye.
