'''WesternAnimation/TheJetsons: Invasion of the Planet Pirates''' is a 1994 PlatformGame by ''Creator/{{Taito}}''.

Our story begins one morning at the Jetsons residence, and George Jetson is running late to work, until suddenly, the famed superhero Captain Zoom appears and informs him that the evil space pirate Zora and her organization SPREE ('''S'''pace '''P'''irates '''R'''evelling in '''E'''vil '''E'''nterprises), have been robbing various planets of their natural resources in order to create her own world. Captain Zoom engaged in a fierce battle to stop Zora's fleet, but the resulting battle left him drained of his strength, and enlists good old George to help him. George is handed a vacuum pack, dubbed "P.O.P" (Pnuemo Osmatic Precipitator), and sets off on a mission to stop the Invasion of the Planet Pirates.

The player controls George Jetson in a 2D Action platformer. He can use his P.O.P. Vacuum to capture blocks and enemies and shoot them at walls and other targets. P.O.P. also has other uses, like letting George cling to walls and ceilings, and well as grab enemy projectiles. The game boasts very colorful graphics invocative of the show's style and animation.

Also of Note: [[DolledUpInstallment In Japan]], this game was given a new coat of paint and went by the name of '''Yokai Buster: Ruka no Daibouken''', which starred a young girl and the P.O.P. vacuum was replaced with a devil head that vacuumed enemies and objects instead.
