Series 2 managed to keep up to date with Pac-Man’s already increasing number of games by introducing Super Pac-Man (voiced by Garfield and called Super-Pac in the cartoon) and Jr. But whether you plump for Pac-Land or promote Pac-World, both shows are equally good, both adapting the Pac-Man music for their own uses. You can tell already that the G2 version borrowed this plot for their series, replacing Power Pellets with Power Berries and Mezmaron with Lord Betrayus. And every episode Pac-Man would eat a Power Pellet and bite the ectoplasm covering of the ghosts, who would flee back to Mezmaron. The ghosts’ ruler Mezmaron wants to gain access to the Power Forest, which only Pac-Man and his family know the whereabouts of, and become invincible himself, so he can take over Pac-Land.Įvery episode featured the ghosts coming up with random plans to either do away with the Pac-Family, or force them to go to the Power Forest. As in the game, whoever eats them gets to be invincible and chomp at everything like mad. See, in this version of the game the legendary Power Pellets (which Nestle copied for their Milky Bar Buttons sweets, I swear) grew on trees in the Power Forest. Unlike the ghosts in the G2 version, they actually defeated Pac-Man more than once, who would just faint on the ground instead of being turned inside out. Pac-Man before the cartoon) were still around to cause grief and trouble for Pac. Surprisingly, mazes appeared very rarely (as opposed to now where they’re bloody EVERYWHERE! :P) in the show, but the ghosts were common-folk!īlinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde (and a purple ghost named Sue, who had debuted in Ms. Each episode detailed the lives and times of this happy family, be it going on a picnic, on holiday, or playing sports. Made by Hanna-Barbera, Pac-Man lived in the spherical-influenced Pac-Land with his family (all of whom had their own games back then): Ms Pac-Man, Baby-Pac, Chomp-Chomp the dog, and Sour Puss.
Yes, it’s Pac-Man’s 35th birthday today, and he gets to be this blog’s 15th entry! Who would have thought that this eternally hungry hero would still be relevant in this day and age? He has appeared on every known console, tried out his luck in nearly every popular video gaming genre, and even recently made a huge step into the glamorous world of Hollywood! While a second generation version of him is still airing on Disney XD, way back in the 80s Pac-Man got to be the very first video game character to get his own cartoon series! Arcades and the entire history of video gaming would never be the same again… ….there was a little spherical creature who munched his way around mazes, dodging ghastly ghosts and getting souped up on Power Pellets. Before Yooka and Laylee started their grand adventure…īefore Sackboy collected his first sticker…īefore Crash Bandicoot broke open his first crate…īefore Sonic the Hedgehog collected his first Ring…Įven before Mario stomped his first Goomba…
