Synopsis

Popeye no Eigo Asobi (Popeye's English Game) is the Japanese exclusive spin-off of Popeye's arcade game.
The game includes three modes: Word Puzzle A, Word Puzzle B and Word Catcher. In Word Puzzle A (based on the first level of the original game), the player is given the Japanese term for a word in one of six categories: Animal, Country, Food, Sports, Science, and Others (due to technical limitations, these terms are displayed entirely as katakana, regardless of their origin). Blank squares for the English word are given, and the player must maneuver Popeye around to point to the letters of the alphabet in order to fill in the blanks. Each wrong letter entry prompts Brutus/Bluto to hit a basket carrying Swee'Pea; the player must solve the puzzle before Swee'Pea's basket falls off the platform it is attached to.
The player can also lose the puzzle by hitting the "?" icon. If the puzzle is misplaced or misplaced, the correct English word will be displayed. Word Puzzle B is the same as "A" mode; However, the player is not given the Japanese term in advance. In the two-player Word Catcher mode (based on the third level of the original game), the first player controls Popeye and the second player controls Bluto. Three Japanese words are displayed on the left side of the screen, and the two players compete to collect letters thrown by Olive Oyl to spell their English equivalents. A player wins when he or she has correctly spelled five words.
