The Jetsons: Invasion of the Planet Pirates

About

George Jetson trades his briefcase for a space-saving gadget in this 1994 SNES platformer. Armed with the P.O.P. vacuum device, you navigate 9 stages of floating debris fields and alien strongholds. Suck onto surfaces to cross walls and ceilings, inhale enemies or obstacles to fling as projectiles, and survive underwater thanks to the P.O.P.'s breathing function. The goal is simple: outmaneuver pirates, collect hearts to stay alive, and rack up points for bonus rounds. The P.O.P. steals the show with its absurd utility, its dual role as mobility aid and weapon keeps levels dynamic. While the art style leans into cartoonish simplicity, the tight controls and creative level design earn it a cult following. With 14% of players completing all stages on speedrun sites, mastery hinges on memorizing enemy patterns and optimizing vacuum blasts. A niche but punchy throwback to early ’90s platforming experimentation.
