This reminds me I had a great Popeye game on Commodore 64 when I was a kid and it was pretty similar to classic Donkey Kong where you played as "Mario" (which I also had on C64). It was hard, a bit weird, but really entertaining. So I wonder if that game is what they were trying to get the rights to back in the 80s?

All these people who aren't aware that Popeye was originally an arcade game are blowing my mind.

Was it on arcade too? Nice. I was pretty young back then, and for context we had a Commodore 64 (floppy disk and cartridges) until Win95 released lol, we didn't have much money for that sort of thing. So many great memories though! I still spin up og Pirates! Every year or two.

Who says "on arcade"? Honestly!

As in "on arcade machines". Just typical Aussie phrase shortening.
