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

    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 you made the adventure one with the Power Puff Girls, Dexter, Cow & Chicken, etc then thank you.

        Something about a pool party? I remember that one
    • giancarlostoro2 hours ago
      Thank you for being a part of my childhood then! I probably played (like everyone else my age) most if not all CN games. It's a shame they didn't do any sort of effort to preserve them officially.

      Did you by chance work on Cartoon Orbit?
    • jjicean hour ago
      Please tell which ones! I be lots of great memories of the late aughts and CN flash games

      From someone who likely played your work in my younger years, thank you for it!

      Thanks for all your work!

    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:

    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

    • cootsnuck30 minutes ago
      Yes! I was just about to comment the same thing. I sank so many hours into that Dragon Ball Z game. Was called Dragon Ball Z Tournament. And its background music was an instrumental version of Sisqo's Thong Song. Wild.

      I loved that Dragonball Z game so much. Would love to play it again to see if it’s anything like I remember!

    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)

        Omg thank you, this is giving me flashbacks.
    • baigy2 hours ago
      No but, this reminds me of gorilla.bas (basic). If you remember THAT, that's something. My first ever game, written in basic :-)
      • noumenon11112 hours ago
        QBasic Gorillas was poggers, but I'm more of a Nibbles guy myself
        • vunderba2 hours ago
          I remember being introduced to QBASIC as a kid, and at the time the use of extended ASCII characters for the graphics in Nibbles.bas was legit next-level to me.
    • amarant2 hours ago
      Netsend! I almost wonder if we were classmates!

      I have unfortunately forgotten the gorillaz game though

      Yes that was one of those bizarrely high tech experiences back then.

    If anyone remembers gToons from Cartoon Orbit there's also this: https://gtoons.app
    • willmeyers2 hours ago
      This is incredible. Thank you for sharing this. I played Orbit so much.

    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.

  • ikesau2 hours ago
    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.
  • hoten2 hours ago
    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.

  • onlytue33 minutes ago
    Wild to see this.

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

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

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

      Someone already did it awhile back.

        So much nostalgia on Cartoon Cartoon Summer Resort. That was how I got into adventure games in the first place.
    • Shalomboy3 hours ago
      Creep TV was my favorite too!!!

      Gosh, what a nostalgia trip.

  • axusan hour ago
    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 :)
    • switchersan hour ago
      Ruffle doing ruffle stuff, I'd be surprised if the original didn't work.
  • king_geedorahan hour ago
    It's just nostalgia I'm sure but, damn if these didn't coincide with the peak era of the web as a user.
  • antdkean hour ago
    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.

  • ourmandave2 hours ago
    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.

  • WillAdams2 hours ago
    I really wish someone would bring back _Bembo's Zoo_, ideally by translating it to scripted HTML5 or animated SVG....
  • wilfredk2 hours ago
    I am looking for the DBZ one from back in the day...

    Who remembers postopia? Great games there as well circa 2002
  • alentodorovan hour ago
    i remember mailing webmaster@cartoonnetwork.co.uk asking them what “sourcery” have they used to allow for zoom-in on a website.
  • s900mhz3 hours ago
    This is awesome!

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

    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
