PG in the model number stands for Popeye Game. The Panorama game took and came with two LR44 batteries, while the Tabletop version came with two C batteries. Nintendo manufactured 250,000 versions of both games in America and Europe. It's unknown how many were manufactured in Japan. The game is based on the lucrative Popeye franchise, and in it you control Popeye. Nintendo was known during that era to create games based off on the Popeye franchise. As in all Game & Watch games, Popeye contained a clock with an alarm. To set the alarm, the player must use a sharp object to push the ALARM switch. If done correctly, Swee' Pea will appear on a rolled up rope. Once the clock reaches the time the player set the alarm for, the alarm will sound and Swee' Pea will ring a bell he had. If the player is playing the game, then the alarm will not sound, but Swee' Pea will still ring his bell.
