Item Condition

A mini reproduction box only — a scaled-down display replica of the original box; no game, manual or inserts are included. The photos are of this exact box — look them over closely for its print and details. The clear plastic box protector shown in the photos is included. The acrylic display stand in the photos is a presentation prop and is not included. It ships in a collector's bag or a hard plastic case.

Item Description

Popeye exists as a game partly because of a deal that fell through. Nintendo first hoped to build an arcade game around King Features Syndicate's sailor, and when that license wasn't available the idea became Donkey Kong. By 1982 Nintendo had the license after all, and Popeye reached arcades with Olive Oyl, Brutus and the Sea Hag in tow.

Popeye climbs ladders and crosses platforms to catch the hearts, musical notes and letters Olive Oyl drops, all while dodging Brutus and the Sea Hag's flying bottles. The one can of spinach on each level flips the chase for a few glorious seconds, letting him send Brutus flying. Nintendo brought it to the Famicom in Japan in 1983 and to the NES in North America in 1986.

This Mini Box Gaming piece is something a little different for the shelf: a reproduction of the game's UK (PAL-region) NES box rather than its North American box, with Arcade Classics Series front art. The back panel carries the code NES PP UKV, a caution that the Game Pak works only with the Mattel or NES versions of the system (Mattel distributed the NES in the UK), and the Mini Box Gaming mark. It is a reproduction, not original Nintendo packaging, and a charming conversation piece for anyone who collects regional box variants.
