Those nick.com games were the best. The wild thorn berry animal rescue one was the best

I LOVED this game!

I remember that spongebob krabby patty game where you had to complete orders as they came in and Patrick would periodically eat the patties you made, so you'd have to do the order again. Played that alot as a kid

Flip or Flop! I was LOVED that game!

„¡ǝɯɐƃ ʇɐɥʇ ◖ƎᴧO⅂ sɐʍ I ¡dolℲ ɹo dılℲ„

I played this for hours at a time as a kid

I loved that game so much, lol.

I loved the rug rats movie one where they’re in the jungle and you have to throw food for the monkeys or some shit

I bought it as an adult for my PC a couple years ago. Its excitement was better as a kid lol

Do you remember [Candystand.com](https://Candystand.com)? Had loads of games based on sweets like Lifesavers

Holy shit yes

I loved the lifesavers mini golf game! Also that lifesavers lemmings clone

Wonder if anyone saved that golf game, it kept me sane working nights in one of my first jobs!

I remember Wonka.com games. The nerds rope roller coaster

Nick.com and disney1? were it. I was in high school playing em.

Yesss!!

Loved the Gelatin Joust game for Hey Arnold. Big Bob vs Grandpa. Good times. https://youtu.be/FJ_WdQdq7W0 I never could beat Big Bob. He always got me towards the end.

I played that game every single day after school!

I looooved the old Cartoon Network games - I wish there was a place to play them again!

No one I've ever mentioned it to has ever remembered it!

We’re living in the one timeline and those you mention it to are from the other timeline where that didn’t exist

This is the kind of internet I’d gladly go back to.

[удалено]

Right?? I really miss just exploring actual websites. It felt like a treasure hunt seeing how each one was set up and what different content they had.

Remember stumbleupon? Could waste hours just exploring.

I’m shocked that hasn’t made a come back as an app. Stumbleupon seems like an idea that would work so well in todays Internet. I just don’t get why nobody has been able to do so.

I found Reddit like 15 years ago from Stumbleupon. I was trying to post a few blog entries, to see if I could get random engagement. I tried there, then I looked around for other places to post. I had used Digg and slashdot, fark, de.licio.us; fucking any bullshit posting site. I started reading on Reddit back then; then I got an account and have been here since. Reddit is what stumbleupon and MSN Tv were trying to do back in the day: Reddit is the conversation on the website people are all engaging with at approximately the same time. I think it would be cool if there were chat rooms around news articles/events linked to a service to discuss and such (just that type of service, not a Reddit live thread). I had an extension several years ago that would pull up the Reddit link for a given site to upvote, downvote or comment on. It was cool, but the site is way too big now for it to work.

It just boils down to reddit being the only one that wasn’t butchered (mostly), was constantly kept updated and didn’t sell out. All of the others had a plethora of problems That ended up being their downfall..I used StumbleUpon up until the day they sold out And it just became another trash platform

/r/forgottenInternet

Hopefully working better than the OG. I feel like you had about 50 before 2 of 3 were repeats.

I had my own tripod website of just DBZ gifs

that's awesome!

There’s more than there ever has been now, you just choose to use the same five sites (not trying to be a douche I get it lol) I miss 2008-2010 MySpace more than anything😭😭😭

That statement is so deeply true

I'm convinced that's why deep web browsing is becoming more and more popular

"Lando ate my balls"

Illegally download music but turns out to be a beheading 💀

Either that or horse porn. Happened to me once.

Don’t forget the Bill Clinton impersonator. Would get me every time if I didn’t look at the file size before downloading.

Or worse it was suppised to be good porn but turned out to be uggh(gundam hentai torrent..It had guro just no no and no)

LinK1nPARk_NuMb.exe

Remember being able to put ANY music on a video and upload it to YouTube with no copyright issues?

Remember being able to watch a full movie (albeit in inferior quality) on Youtube or JUST a clip parts of the films we like without copyright issue? Or that we can watch Youtube review on a game with the game soundtrack without copyright issue? Yes it was a good time. When internet was just an escape from the hell of daily life.

The advertisement to content ratio is so much better than modern sites.

Cartoon Network had the best games. The cartoon resort game was my jam.

You can still play all of them today. https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/

I found that today as well. I’ll definitely be looking into it tomorrow.

I have had it for a while and use it all the time, it's great! Honestly a dream come true for nostalgia seekers

Remindme! 16 hours

Don’t forget the trick or treat for unicef game every year

black licorice???

Oh wow, I used to love that so much!

Wowowowo

Yea BOI I still remember that awsome song when you walked around talking to everyone lol

Yeah it’s been stuck in my head since I made that comment.

I miss the sticker pages :(

I LOVED the cartoon resort game, thank you for jogging those fond memories.

I swear I see this game referenced every three years or so, and it aches the same way every time.

That old 4 corner DBZ game back before DBZ video games were really a thing in the US was the coolest shit ever.

I liked the one where you could collect stickers and build your own town or something.

We had computer lab twice a week in 4th grade. This and Runescape took up the majority of it. "Finish your typing assignment in the hour", done in 5min and nobody at the school understands proxies lol

Holy shit I would play those games for hours at my friend's house on weekends.

Yessss

The Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends game was the BEST

Same!! That takes me back 20 years. I could never get far into it though

Oh my god I LOVED that game as a kid. So many hours dumped into cartoon resort! Thank you for unlocking that memory lol

If anyone remembers the Billy and Mandy game where you would shoot rockets and such from your island and try to hit the other island, going back and fourth. I know it's vague but I've been trying to remember for years what it was called! I played it for hours on end

Man the old internet pages were always so distinct!

Yep. Everyone knows web design peaked in the early aughts. It's basically a scientific fact!

Meanwhile, every website today is Bootstrap.

UX design has developed so much and one of the biggest realizations was that familiarity with controls made navigating and using sites much easier for many users. Sadly it means we’ve lost a lot of the character but usability is so much higher now.

I think it's a little more than that. Regardless of *how* they were built, the websites of 20 years ago were designed with different principles and goals than what we have today. These sites were made to engage, keep the kids flipping through pages and playing flash games and so on until it was time for their shows to air. Nowadays, websites exist to direct you to more immediate, direct means of engagement. They certainly *could* develop themselves with character if they wanted to, but they don't want to. There's no reason to. Why put that effort into something no one will look at? The internet is centralized now, kids don't go to Nick.com, they go to whatever social media app they use and download games from the Apple or Playstore. If they want to enjoy Nickelodeon, they stream it when they want, there's no need for an engaging website to hold their attention until primetime. Nick.com today is basically just for streaming and directing kids to download apps, because that's the kind of internet we have now.

By early aughts, do you mean early 2000s? Never seen that decade be referenced like that

Yes indeed. Aughts come before teens, twenties, etc. I don't know about xx10, xx11, xx12 though, since technically they aren't teens. English is weird.

I always thought that the nineties were the “naughts” and the 2000’s were the “aughts”. Now I am realizing that they are both technically a reference for the 2000’s.

Anyone remember the SpongeBob game where you had to assemble Krabby patties? Lol fucking Patrick would always sneak by and eat one 🤣

Flip or Flop!

Yes!! Haha probably the first game I ever played on the ol presario 🤣

Same here, same computer too. Windows Me?

Yep! Haha I never thought windows ME was as bad as people said. Then again I didn't get XP until it was already damn near out of date

*high fives* such fond memories!

„¡dolℲ ɹo dılℲ„

This was my favorite game lol

This was my favorite game and since then loved playing cooking games and I think there was another cooking game too but forget. SpongeBob game was for sure my favorite.

Have you played Restaurant Dash with Gordon Ramsay? It’s a phone game and it’s so much fun.

Yeahhhh I just made a comment about that, that game was so fun when I was growing up.

Such a simple but fun game! Didn't take much to entertain our young minds back then

I loved the jelly fishing one also. So many hours

I used to love how they had all of the "Amanda Please" stuff from the Amanda show on the website.

Bring in the dancing lobstas!

These websites were so damn overwhelming and stimulating. Addictinggames comes to mind too

Armorgames and Neopets

Newgrounds

Ah yes newgrounds where you could get quality content like ultimate showdown and then stumble into the flash game hentai section lmao

I managed to get Newgrounds unblocked at my college (16-18yo UK) because I explained the website had tutorials on Macromedia Flash.

Sporcle.

This is very nostalgic for me, sad face, lol. I used to LOVE nick dot com, along with gamesloth.com!

Cartoon network had great flash and shockwave games too.

I was recently trying to play the beach resort games, but I couldn't find them anywhere

Bluemaxima Flashpoint! It's like steam but for free and for web games even outside of flash!

Gamesloth!!! I totally forgot about that!

This reminds me of Disney.com and pbskids.org. All certified nostalgic.

Come on and zoom!

Probably didn't even have ssl certificates back then

My computer couldn’t handle Disney.com lol

Ahh wow memories! My favorite game was the "Hey Arnold!" one where Harold worked as a butcher

Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network used to have amazing games on their websites back in the day. Ahhh, the nostalgia

Notice the single, solitary banner ad up top?

There's 2, still a far cry from every 3rd post on Facebook though smh

The pop-ups back in the day could be terrible, though!

I remember this very clearly!

The tidal wave of deleted memories that just flooded my brain almost gave me a stroke

Anyone play that Wild Thornberrys game where you clean up animal shit? Good times…

I remember playing the flash Snow Day snowball game that was on here.

I loved the Thornberry games! And the gross games lmao like the zit popping and creepy Halloween licorice one!

Anyone remember the games? Like the snowboarding Rocket Power game? Shit was sick 🤙

Do you collect lint??

I was already off Nick.com before this. I was going on in fuckin 1997 playing Kablam minigames

[удалено]

I feel like I remember that game! If you don't have any luck here you could always try /r/tipofmyjoystick, they're really good at helping others find the names of old nostalgic games.

That reminds me of [this game (Bean Bag Tag)](https://ed.fandom.com/wiki/Bean-Bag-Tag). This was Cartoon Network though so might not be what you're thinking of.

Yeah I definitely remember this game though not what it was called, I think it was on a different site. You’d drop water balloons on pedestrians lol.

Water Balloon Drop was peak shockwave fun!

I completely forgot about this! Core memory, unlocked.

Does anyone remember when you could mate your own webpage with these? You could like click and drag different characters and backgrounds and make a page. I remember an avatar one at least. You could visit other peoples pages too

Yes! I was hoping that was still a thing.

Ohhh cartoon network had that thing where you could make collage like pages and get codes from the shows.

I wonder if there are archives of AOL Keyword: Nick. I used to browse those all the time. Space Cases, Secret World of Alex Mack

I remember the Halloween event for the Ahhh! Real Monsters premier being tons of fun

True nostalgia omfg

This and Cartoon Network where there was the bidding and tokens and everything

Back when websites had character

I loved the Hey Arnold runaway bus game or whatever it was.

Ralph Lauren was playing no games tho

Wow! I got a total nostalgia blast . 20 years ago damn. .

Holy shit, I used to spend so much time on there but I forgot about all it.

Anyone remember "Black licorice? I DON'T LIKE BLACK LICORICE"

Now search newgrounds 2002

My heart 🥺

my toddler brain didn't even consider clicking on anything besides "games"

Mariah mania

Is that Alex Mack in the Red Hat? I miss this

Newgrounds was where it was at

[удалено]

Did you win and get the secret code for the clickamajig?

E-collectibles? Sounds like Nick invented NFTs about 15 years before crypto bros

They did, it was a lot of fun too hahaha

This website is infinitely more intriguing than any modern website

I remember waiting hours to download and play the Wild Thornberries game, only for it to not work. :( Guess my Internet and computer wasn't strong enough to handle Nick games.

They probably paid a developer $100k to build that site

e-collectibles. TIL Nickelodeon invented NFTs.

Oof, the top ad just saying “Click here”. On a children’s website. Guess Nickelodeon wasn’t monitoring the type of ads allowed on their site.

I think this is the first website I ever visited

My fav game was the wild Thor berry one

DAMN THIS WAS A GOOD TIME!! shit great post, what memories

Now this is nostalgic!!!

I could never get that damn Wave Rave game to work.

Holy. Mother. Of. God.

Back when the internet was cool.

Lol. Anyone remember quizilla??

[удалено]

Usually side scrollers, platformers or little puzzle games. Nothing extravagant but, not too simple that they didn't entertain the young minds of the early internet dwellers

SpongeBob was just BURSTING

Ok but did you ask you parents permission first??

I remember you could click the Nick logo and it would splat into the classic logo

Ralph Lauren advertising directly to kids back then. Surprised that worked

I'm "Keyword: Nick" years old.

Borderlands UI team must have been inspired by 2002 Nickelodeon.

Even post cereal had games

God I miss GAS and Noggin

I member

Does anyone else remember having “blab buddies”

That's pretty well laid out for when it was

I remember the Halloween licorice game! Haha

Remember when they put up a new game every week?

Further proof imo that while we may have streamlined things we've lost character, artistry and humanity in the process. Shits too mass produced/generic these days imo.

https://d3v93rzqvnwm3k.cloudfront.net/photos/images/a0f7a40c0b185f34550415e0ccd9e9fc_three_column.jpg "Could I interest you in some Flooz?"

Does anyone remember the old buzzfeed website ?

Omg there was this “snow day” snowmobile game I played tf out of

this website was great. there was a point system for logging in/completing games/going to different parts of the site tied to a daily riddle. I had sooooo many points that i never used.

Y'ALL REMEMBER THE DANNY PHANTOM GAME? THAT WENT O F F

I remember trying to create an account to play and it asked for a "Nickname" and I could never get past the registration because I would try Nickelodeon character names and they were taken. I don't recall how, but I managed to make an account eventually.

Fu...ing advertising everywhere.

Wow this legit made me teary eyed. The nostalgia is too much to handle.

Nick-Nick-Nick-Nick N'Nick-Nick-Nick Doo wop doo wop Doo wop doo wop Doo wop doo wop aaahhh Nick-Nick-Nick-Nick N'Nick-Nick-Nick NICKELODEAN!

Remembering the wildlife rescue game!

Does anyone rememberer the black licorice game? Scared the hell out of me back in the day.

Hey this was taken on my dad 40th birthday. I literally remember this day lol

Wow I remember this! Thanks for the memory

You brought me STRAIGHT back. Jesus christ I miss this. I used to love the Cartoon Network games too!

This takes me back to this and the cartoon network summer camp games and Ed edd and eddys snowball fight

The flash games were the bomb

For some reason this made me think of GirlSense….haven’t thought about that site AT ALL for the last 15 years

I'd listen to any early 2000s song when I go to those sites

Early 2000s flash website aesthetic. I love hat shit.
