Saturday Supercade, Pac-Man, and Pole Position

Mike and Neil dive into three early-80s video game cartoons: Saturday Supercade (featuring Frogger, Donkey Kong, Q*bert, and Donkey Kong Jr.), the notoriously bad Pac-Man cartoon, and Pole Position. They discuss how little these shows had to do with their source material, the voice talent involved (Frank Welker, Barry Gordon, Lorenzo Music), and why these cartoons were largely forgettable—or deliberately forgotten. Pole Position emerges as the least terrible of the three, though still generic.
