Listen everyone....I doubt any of you ever saw this, but it is by far the worst cartoon based on a video game ever. Back in the 70's or 80's I don't know, I wasn't born yet, they had a Pac-Man cartoon. Trust me. It was awfl. Ok, I'm only 15 but I saw it on a channel called Boomerang which is a channel about old cartoons. Here's the basic info about it.
Pac-man lives in a Pac people village where they all live with everything shaped like a circle. Everytime, they are just living their lives until the ghosts come along, and then Pac-man eats a power pill, and eats them. THat's it. It was like The Flinstones except with Pac Man.
First off, very bad animation. It was skippy, and the colors often mixed up or were incorrect. Also, the chracaters were very poorly drawn. They were very ugly too. They tried to make them look like real people shaped like Pac People. The result: Horribly drawn figures. Also, they even had a Pac-cat and Pac-Dog which provided cheesy comic relief. Also very badly drawn. The plots were always the same except with a new twist each time. It was basically like any othr Hanna-Barbar cartoon, except they used Pac Man in place of Fred Flinstone or George Jetson. The awful repetitive plots combined with the crude animation provided for one of the worst cartoons ever made. It had little to none to do with the game besides ghosts and the dots that they ate. THat's all.
If you want more information on it, check to see if you have the channel Boomerang. They show it every once in a while. Also, I agree with other people. THe first Mario Bros. cartoons weren't very good. The Mario Bros 3 were the best. They stuck exactly to the game. THe Mario World ones were alright, but the addition of the cave people was a bit goofy and dumb. The Legend of Zelda cartoon wasn't bad but good either. I never really saw Captain N, but I saw a couple of the Donkey Kong Cartoons. They were alright, but not the best. Sonic cartoons were badically Bugs Bunny gags and jokes recycled into a Sonic cartoon. Earthworm Jim I never saw, and Kirby Right Back At Ya'! (Note: It's Ya' not cha') is a good show. The extra characters like Tiff and Tuff are really annoying, but I like how they have many elements of the game in there. Pokemon is a bad cartoon. The new Sonic Cartoons looks pretty good, but they only showed the first episode so far so it could turn out to stink after the first few episodes.
Sorry for this huge post. I just got carried away in my mind!
