Play Popeye (World) (Rev 1) Online Free

Popeye is a 1982 arcade game developed and published by Nintendo, based on the iconic cartoon of the same name. Ported to the NES (Famicom) in 1983, it was one of the system’s three Japanese launch titles. Designed by Genyo Takeda and Shigeru Miyamoto, with music by Hirokazu Tanaka, the game stars Popeye on a mission to collect items dropped by his girlfriend Olive Oyl—24 hearts, 16 musical notes, or 24 letters—while dodging attacks from Bluto and a black crow. Each level features a can of spinach that grants Popeye temporary invincibility, plus a coil prop players can slip over Bluto’s head to stun him briefly. A platform action game with simple, intuitive controls (directional pad for movement, button for attacks), it supports 1–2 players taking turns, making it perfect for family fun. With faithful character designs and challenging gameplay, Popeye remains a beloved classic of the NES era.
