Episode 533--Mega Man: The Animated Series

It Was a Thing on TV: An Anthology on Forgotten Television

Arcade games exploded onto the scene in the late 1970s and early 1980s, with several shows, animated or otherwise, airing on TV. Jump ahead to the 1990s and video games left the arcade, going to living rooms everywhere. One popular franchise, still popular to this day, was and is Mega Man, which had an animated show from the masters of adapting video games to television, Ruby-Spears, the minds behind cartoons like Pac-Man, Saturday Supercade, and Dragon's Lair.
