I watched the first TV show ever based on a game and it made me realize: we’ve really got it good these days

The animated series Pac-Man, produced by Hanna-Barbera from 1982 to 1983, features characters such as Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man (Pepper), and Pac-Baby living in Pac-Village, which is governed by the Pac-President and protected by Super-Pac. The series includes antagonists like Mezmaron and a group of ghost monsters: Inky, Blinky, Pinky, Clyde, and Sue. Mezmaron seeks to capture Pac-Man for his knowledge of Power Pellets, which grow on Power Pellet Trees in the Power Pellet Forest. The show consists of 44 episodes over two seasons and often concludes with Pac-Man consuming the ghosts, who then return to Mezmaron in new ghost suits. The humor is aimed at children but lacks cleverness, and notable voice actors include Peter Cullen and Alan Lurie. The second season introduced a younger version of Pac-Man named PJ and increasingly bizarre plots.

That weird Pac-Man metroidvania just got a big update, adding a new mode that ‘significantly lowers the difficulty of combat and exploration’

Shadow Labyrinth is a Metroidvania game featuring Pac-Man in a grimdark setting. The game has received a mixed reception, with critiques focusing on poor controls, sparse save points, and punishing difficulty spikes, leading to a muted impact on Steam. In response, Bandai Namco released an update that includes a new gameplay mode called "Veteran Mode" and improvements to controls, such as enhanced mid-air control and a dedicated button for vertical jumps. Reviewer Abbie Stone criticized the game's narrative as overly talkative and filled with clichés, noting that its self-serious tone detracts from the experience. The game faces competition from other titles in the genre, particularly Hollow Knight: Silksong.
