Licensing issues with King Features Syndicate maybe? I just think it would have been a good addition to their PC-10 line-up for a few reasons. It was a horizontal game so it would have translated well, it was a Nintendo licensed game, and it would have made those Popeye to PC-10 conversion kits that much sweeter, as even if you really liked Popeye or it was still earning well, you could have converted your Popeye to a PC-10, kept Popeye on the machine plus added 9 other horizontal games. You wouldn't have even had to rotate the monitor like you had to do with the DK games. I know there was a limited release of the original Mario Bros on PC-10, and even DK classics showed up later on (may have been an ROM hack), why not Popeye?
