Doh, I did some work on some CN games back in the day -- but don't see any of those here. Hopefully they keeping adding to it!

If anyone wants to see more of these flash games, check out the Flashpoint archive.

RIP to TV networks and other media entities having free online computer games. Clone-a-doodle-doo and code of the samarai were my games.

ESPN also used to have great flash games. they had one where you'd skate on the roofs of houses and one where you had a BMX game that I think had a racing version and a freestyle version.

If you want some more Cartoon Network nostalgia, enjoy this VHS recording of Cartoon Cartoon Fridays:

Does anyone remember that Gorillaz flash game? You basically just had a dune buggy and drove around in a 3D world over some randomly scattered obstacles and terrain.

That was my entire computer class in 9th grade.

(that and harrassing teachers with netsend)

If anyone remembers gToons from Cartoon Orbit there's also this: https://gtoons.app

Thanks for whoever preserved these! The CartoonNetwork website was one of my most fondest memories from my childhood.

These days the official website redirects to their YouTube channel which I feel is very sad. There used to be places for kids on the internet, now everything is heading towards major platforms which I honestly feel is going to be damaging the youth in the long term.

There were a Dragon Ball Z turn-based game and a Powerpuff Girls basketball game that used to be on CN that I had a blast playing very young.

Sadly, these two seem to be missing

Wow, awesome.

There's also a few on the Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/softwarelibrary_flash_unsorted?t...

(In case the OP also made you think of Teen Titans Battle Blitz for the first time in 20 years)

Flash games on CN, Miniclip, and Mofunzone kept young me very entertained. Love to see this.

The Halloween trick-or-treating maze-type game was my favorite from CN.

The summer resort games (iirc one big trade quest) were nice too.

While we're mildly on the topic, one of my favorite old Flash games was the Nick.com trading card game.

It wasn't really a game in the TCG sense, but more of a collecting/bartering game similar to the Grand Exchange in Runescape.

There isn't much surviving media of it since people rarely recorded game footage back then, but someone made a website of it with some screenshots:

(Sadly, it doesn't have any screenshots of the trading screen, which was the fun part)

There’s on called “sonic boom: link and smash?”

Where is my beloved Unicorn?

I played the CN flash games so much as a kid. Between that and Armor Games, Nitrome, Crazy Monkey Games, etc - I was spoiled for content. It does make me sad to see so much of it lost to time - though I also understand flash was bad and really did have to die.

There was also https://www.coffeebreakarcade.com/ !

they had a really good fighter jet game back in the day.

Where's Courage the Cowardly Dog: Creep TV and Summer Resort? Those were the best ones.

Tried the Courage the Cowardly Dog game, after a nicely animated plane-landing, the game logic was broken and no enemies appeared. Never played the original, perhaps it had the same problem :)

I guess the Adult Swim games like "Robot Unicorn Attack" don't count here?

Oh man that's nostalgia! I got interested in Anime because of DBZ airing on Cartoon Network.

Praying for Teen Titans Battle Blitz to be listed here at some point. The version on the Internet Archive is broken unfortunately.

Wild to see this.

Anyone remember what happened to Steppenwolf and the other games? I do not remember the publisher, I think WB?

It's just nostalgia I'm sure but, damn if these didn't coincide with the peak era of the web as a user.

My daughter was addicted to Ben 10 and would play for hours.

I'd forgotten a bunch of those shows, like Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.

I am looking for the DBZ one from back in the day...

I really wish someone would bring back _Bembo's Zoo_, ideally by translating it to scripted HTML5 or animated SVG....

As a kid, I could type their URL from muscle memory with my eyes closed - that’s how much I loved this site.

Good times.

man.. these are like some of the first games I actually remember playing as a kid

I wasn't Cartoon Network, but we played a lot of LEGO's MataNui flash game.

It was my first experience with what became known as Ambient Games...

Who remembers postopia? Great games there as well circa 2002

i remember mailing webmaster@cartoonnetwork.co.uk asking them what “sourcery” have they used to allow for zoom-in on a website.

This is awesome!

I hope they can restore the cartoon cartoon summer resort games.

well this brings back memories! Thank you

Some of it was the death of Flash (though with Ruffle now there may be hope) but the web now just feels much less diverse.

Or possibly I just miss being a teenager. Or some combination

Interesting approach. The key question for adoption is usually about the migration path — how painful is it for existing teams to switch, and what does the intermediate state look like?
