  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!

  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.

  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)

  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

  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.

  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:http://www.animeexpressway.com/rugrats/ecards.htm(Sadly, it doesn't have any screenshots of the trading screen, which was the fun part)

  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.

  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.

  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.

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

  I guess the Adult Swim games like "Robot Unicorn Attack" don't count here?
• Soulsbane
  Oh man that's nostalgia! I got interested in Anime because of DBZ airing on Cartoon Network.
• onlytue
  Wild to see this.Anyone remember what happened to Steppenwolf and the other games? I do not remember the publisher, I think WB?
• notaustinpowers
  Praying for Teen Titans Battle Blitz to be listed here at some point. The version on the Internet Archive is broken unfortunately.

  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 :)

  man.. these are like some of the first games I actually remember playing as a kid
• king_geedorah
  It's just nostalgia I'm sure but, damn if these didn't coincide with the peak era of the web as a user.
• antdke
  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.
• ourmandave
  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.
• wilfredk
  I am looking for the DBZ one from back in the day...
• WillAdams
  I really wish someone would bring back _Bembo's Zoo_, ideally by translating it to scripted HTML5 or animated SVG....
• FlamingMoe
  Who remembers postopia? Great games there as well circa 2002
• alentodorov
  i remember mailing webmaster@cartoonnetwork.co.uk asking them what “sourcery” have they used to allow for zoom-in on a website.

  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?
