Using the punch attack the player can destroy bricks.
When destroyed, some bricks will reveal spinach which can be collected.
The number of collected spinach determines the size of Popeye's fist.
When Popeye is hit by an enemy the size of his fist decreases again.
The player can collect a maximum of seven cans of spinach at which point the player gains a ranged attack where it shoots spinach cans.
When the player loses all spinach, he dies.
Each series of levels is concluded with a level boss.
About Game Boy
The original Game Boy (1989) proved that handheld gaming didn't need cutting-edge graphics to succeed — its monochrome screen and legendary battery life, combined with Tetris as a pack-in, made it a cultural phenomenon. Game Boy cartridges are famously durable, so this remains one of the more accessible retro platforms to collect, though translucent color variants and complete-in-box copies with the original brick-sized manual add real value for condition-focused collectors.
Gamevaro tracks Popeye 2 for Game Boy with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Popeye 2 to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GB release dates back to 1991.

Rarity & condition
