Play Popeye 2 Online

Popeye 2 came out for the Game Boy in 1991, developed by Copya Systems. It was one of those licensed platformers that filled the library back then, not particularly flashy but solid enough to grab your attention if you were a fan of the character. The game doesn't try to reinvent the wheel; it just gives you Popeye and a simple goal, which was pretty standard for portable games of that era.

You control Popeye, moving screen by screen to rescue Olive Oyl from Bluto. You punch enemies, break bricks, and collect hearts to keep your health up. The main mechanic involves finding and eating cans of spinach, which temporarily supercharges your punches, letting you destroy certain obstacles and defeat tougher enemies. The pacing is methodical, with some tricky jumps and enemy patterns that demand patience. It feels straightforward and a little clunky by today's standards, but there's a simple charm in pounding your way through each stage.
