Good 'ol Cartoon Network games, with some amateur gameplay shown here using Flashpoint Infinity 6.0.

Game Type: Shockwave
Game File Source: Unknown, since it was already curated and added to Flashpoint by others
Status in Flashpoint: Already in Flashpoint (as of version 6.1)


FAQs

Q1) What is Flashpoint?

A1) It is a webgame preservation project by BlueMaxima that aims to collect as many web browser games and animations as possible before they are lost forever due to the phasing out of programs such as Shockwave Player and eventually, Flash Player.


Q2) How can I help?

A2) There are several ways, the most common being:

a. Spread the word to get more people to help contribute to the project
b. Search and curate requested games by others, which if successful, will result in the game being added to Flashpoint.
c. Testing games which have/haven’t been added to Flashpoint and report any bugs/missing files

You can visit their Discord page via the link from bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/ if you have any questions. That website also contains other useful links, such as the Game Master List, which states the existing games in Flashpoint so far and upcoming ones.

The Game Request List states all the requested games others have put up so far. You can download the Flashpoint program itself as well if you just want to play the games too.

Game Request List: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTHR-XFRbK…
Flashpoint Download: bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/downloads/


Q3) What do you mean by “curate”?

A3) In short, it means you find a website that contains the game/animation and download the relevant files (e.g. dcr files for Shockwave games & swf files for Flash games). These will be opened with a Flashpoint program such as Flashpoint Core to test whether the game/animation works.

If they work, several files such as gameplay screenshots, text file containing the launch commands etc. are required to be placed into a ZIP file and uploaded to the relevant section of the Discord page, where they will be vetted by the experienced team there, and if successful, will be added to the newer Flashpoint version.

If you wish to help curate games, pls watch this video first in the link below, which will teach you how to curate the games you’ve found before submitting them for approval. Again, if you are still unsure, the folks at Discord will be able to help you!

Q4) According to the Game Master List, this game should be in Flashpoint but I can’t find it!

A4) If you’ve downloaded Flashpoint Infinity, take note that it doesn’t contain all the games in the Game Master List. For example, if the game you’re looking for is a Shockwave game: at the main screen of the program, you will see a section called “Upgrades”. Click the download button for “Other technologies”. For Flashpoint Infinity 6.1, it is about 900 MB. Once that is done, restart the program and the Shockwave games will appear.


Q5) I want to play this game, but it’s neither in Flashpoint nor the Game Master List!

A5) This means that game has not been added to Flashpoint yet. If there are games you want to be in Flashpoint, you can either wait for it to appear in later versions, or put up a request using the link in Q2. Note that to edit the Google Doc file, you need to request permission first.

Even if you have been granted editing privileges, pls check whether the game you want has already been requested before. Do not search by the specific name only. For example, if you are looking for the game “Scooby-Doo: Horror of the High Seas Episode 1 – The Ghost Pirate Attacks!”, try searching “Scooby Doo”, “Scooby-Doo”, “Ghost Pirate” etc.

This is because some game websites name them differently (e.g. Tom and Jerry: Food Fight is aka Tom and Jerry: Food Free-For-All). Curators who tested the games may also name them differently (e.g. the Scooby-Doo game mentioned above was named as “Scooby Doo Ghost Ship Episode One”).


Q6) Hey, this game isn’t from the Cartoon Network websites!

A6) Though some games came from other websites (e.g. some Scooby-Doo games originated from Warner Bros website), the cartoon characters in these games have appeared in Cartoon Network before, and are therefore included.

    Oh ya, forgot to mention that when playing their quiz (5:56), there are 8 possible questions, of which you need to answer 3 correctly before you are free. Here are the 8 questions, note that the answer is YES to all of them except question 5. Answering them wrongly will just lead them to ask you any of these 8 questions until you get 3 correct. 1) Are you a dog? 2) Did the poltergeist in your attic try on a Santa hat? 3) Do you want to go home now? 4) Is the sky blue? 5) Do you like to eat cheese? 6) Did you buy an electric can opening from “Electro-Shack”? 7) Should Eustace be nicer to you? 8) Is the answer to this question YES?

    The game is 7 minutes long? Man, I remember spending 1 hour on my first play and 15-20 mins back in the day
  • @LaurensVideos2
    I remember this game being much scarier than it actually is 🤣
  • @Thecolorgreen
    I remember loving this one. Honestly, as far as cheap Flash games go, this one was really far ahead of its time graphically. Almost like one of those faux-retro indie games that are big nowadays.
  • @madiw3493
    I remember playing this when I was really little, younger than 7yo. This game terrified me so much I never made it past the part where you talk to the computer and the ghost starts following you around. I remember the bathroom sequence clearly as well... it still weirds me out to see the game today lol (I'm 21 now).
  • @BDT17
    This game is where I would like to believe most of us discovered Sticky Keys.
  • @promedic2666
    This looks like the kind of game that would release on the DS and be very successful. What a missed opportunity
  • @Sg190th
    Good times when I watch my older sister play this in the early 2000's
  • @Cat-the-dragon
    I remember I used to love the graphics for this game, but I could never figure out how to finish it I was a very stupid child lmao
  • @Endyh
    This game was fucking cool. I used to love it so much, I remember playing it at my grandparents on their shitty pc. The music and sound effects have stuck with me all these years.
  • @frozenkisses131
    Brings back such good memories. I loved playing this, Scooby Doo and the Creepy Castle, and the Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends Big Fat Awesome House Party.
  • @NekoValtz
    God this is REALLY good sprite art!
  • @OwlEye2010
    I remember playing this back in the day, but the computer always started having problems after I used the shift key a certain number of times, so I could never finish it.
  • @billyyank1916
    This was one of the only flash games on cartoon network that I remember playing and actually finishing. Glad to see some gameplay footage of it after some time.
  • @adrianoippolito1999
    I remember playing this and could never figure out how to fix the antenna because i was only 5 and didnt really read any of the text. I had no idea i was that close to the ending. Its always neat seeing the endings of old flash games that i never beat. Almost like finding lost knowledge
  • @dustymcwari4468
    I always wanted a full Courage game that looked just like this game as a kid
  • @wingedhand2525
    Idk why but for some reason I always thought this game was super advanced for a Flash game on CN. I liked the pixelated graphics that always reminded me of a 16-bit era game and the encouragement of exploration. And as a kid this game seemed so long and complex but you can beat it in less than five minutes lmao
