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!
Which ones? Who were you working with? How did you get published? Did you do any Toonami games?
Same, none of the ones I worked on. But I did more work for Nickelodeon than CN, so I'm not really surprised. I only remember one CN one I did, but I might have worked on two or three that I'd know if I saw them again...

There are very few from 2008-2012 which is when I was working on that.

So did I. Your username suggests we might be from the same country. If so, we must have worked for the same awful person of a boss!

(I briefly thought that maybe you were that awful person, but he wouldn't be caught dead in HN; his whole thing was to exploit and abuse the people who did the actual work and forbid them from taking credit or even mentioning the work in a CV)

This is awesome!

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

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

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.

I am looking for the DBZ one from back in the day...
Flash games on CN, Miniclip, and Mofunzone kept young me very entertained. Love to see this.
Mofunzone... Now that's a deep cut. I used to spend a lot of time playing the RPGs over there.
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.

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

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.

If anyone remembers gToons from Cartoon Orbit there's also this: https://gtoons.app
I played so much gtoons. I remember meeting berniefoo in a MSN group and being starstruck.

Recommend joining the discord linked in gtoons.app; announcement coming soon.

Who remembers postopia? Great games there as well circa 2002
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

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 :)
It's just nostalgia I'm sure but, damn if these didn't coincide with the peak era of the web as a user.
i remember mailing webmaster@cartoonnetwork.co.uk asking them what “sourcery” have they used to allow for zoom-in on a website.
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.

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

I installed flashpoint linked above and it does have the DBZ game working on my device!
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?
