Popeye

Popeye is a platformer developed by Technōs that stayed only in Japan. A US release was planned in '94 being published by American Technōs, but it was never released. Popeye is a standard platformer that reeks "Mario is popular so let's do that." The SNES version is actually less interesting than an also cancelled Genesis game, which was never released anywhere and looked completely different. It's a shame the game was never released, considering it would've been 2P co-op, which always makes for a fun time. I've never played the Japanese version, but it looks very good. No ROM has been found, and its unknown how far the game got in development, although the game looks complete.
