Popeye no Eigo Asobi (translated: Popeye's English Game) is an educational video game for the Famicom and the successor to the Popeye title released in arcades. The game, developed by Nintendo R&D1, is often considered the predecessor to Donkey Kong Jr. Math, which was released worldwide (Popeye no Eigo Asobi is a Japanese exclusive title). The game is intended to teach Japanese people how to speak the English language. Like the arcade game before it, this title features the properties from the popular 1930s television cartoon Popeye. The sprites have been ripped from the arcade game.
