To promote the upcoming release of Pac-Man: The Complete First Season, a 2-disc, 13-episode cartoon collection due out January 31 from Warner Archive, the company has made available to watch online the episode “The Abominable Pac-Man/The Bionic Pac-Woman”. But it’s only available through tomorrow, January 27. Click the image to watch now.

The show is described as: “Pac-Man does battle with Inky, Blinky, Pinky, Clyde, and Sue, the Ghost Monster minions of the dreaded Mezmaron, who lusts after Pac-Land’s precious power spheres. Aided by his plucky and charming wife and son, Pac-Man saves the Pac-President, confronts the vampiric Pacula, discovers the Abominable Pac-Man, and more. Pac-Venture awaits — no quarters required!”

I don’t think I’ve ever seen it, but there’s something weirdly American about turning a Japanese video game import into a Saturday morning cartoon spin-off.

I used to watch this show as a kid (first-run… yeah, so I’m getting old…). That’d be “power pellets”, not “power spheres”. And yes, like the Flintstones, Pac-Land made heavy use of Pac-themed names to places/people (“Pacula”, Pac-Man’s dog named “Chomp Chomp”, etc.). ;-)

Wonder if this one includes the “Christmas Comes to Pac-Land” special, though doesn’t sound like it does…

I admit, “Pacula” made me laugh. The episode list at the order site does not include the Christmas episode.
