Popeye no Eigo Asobi (ポパイの英語遊び Popai no Eigo Asobi, Popeye's English Game) is the Japanese-exclusive spin-off to the Popeye arcade game.
SUMMARY
Along with a port of its predecessor, it was released on the Family Computer in 1983. It is an educational video game and was followed by the similar Donkey Kong Jr. Math, which was released about one month later. In the game, Popeye teaches players how to spell English words.
The layout is similar to the Popeye arcade game, except that players cannot "die", they can only get incorrect answers. This game is based on the cartoon version of Popeye and not the recent movie or other incarnations. This game was never released in North America because of the majority of English speakers in the United States and Canada and a corresponding version that would teach players Japanese was not created due to the technical limitations of the Nintendo Entertainment System along with the lack of popularity in the West to learn Japanese aside from cultural or business purposes in the 1980s.
