Good 'ol Cartoon Network games, with some amateur gameplay shown here using Flashpoint Infinity 6.0.
Game Type: Flash
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)
Really stink at Missions 2 and 4...though Mission 4 seems to be easier if you accelerate only when you are too far behind, otherwise it's better to keep a greater distance to handle the crap he throws at you.
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... 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 Master List: bluemaxima.org/...
Game Request List: docs.google.co...
Flashpoint Download: bluemaxima.org/...
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!
Curation Guide: • Flashpoint Shockwave C...
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.

Going to Mars was one of the biggest difficulty spikes a child could have ever experienced.

Many years later I’m only just realizing how this game actually calls him Marvin when the show calls him Commander X-2. Weird.

[@JavelinAngel1295]

I feel so old... I remember when this game was brand new. Beating it was such an accomplishment.

[@DoratTheKiller]

Finally got to see the ending to this game. I only reached the duel with Marvin once and never managed to beat him. (Usually I lose the game at the Duck Dodgers platforming section on Mars, or at the spaceship chase at most)

[@ARWINGx1]

8:16 one "tap" on the attack button while on the ground is enough. As he'll attack 3 times with the Nunchucks, and 3 hits is enough to destroy one of the Centurions. Which is what I always did back then.

[@dramaticScar]

So many of the games I've never managed to beat usually just end with a: "Congratulations good job" screen... It's weird

[@joaotoldi]

the most difficult game on cartoon network

This game did not gaf if you were 8yrs old, had 30minutes on the computer at home and had to use proxy sites at school. Absolutely crazy how the shootouts ramp up!

I'm not the one who preserved this game, others involved in the Flashpoint project did (video description).

I remember playing this game when I was a kid in the 2000s.

[@meydintorki]

I played this when I was 3. I'm 28 now and I remember almost everything about this. It wasn't the nostalgia trip I hoped. Perhaps what it lacks now is fascination.

[@GameElement64]

Back when I was a kid I only managed to beat Marvin using an older laptop. If I tried this flash game with my current PC he would be impossibly fast due to modern hardware being able to play these games more efficiently. Back than it was expected for the framerate to lag a bit which bought you enough time to react accordingly. I remember Marvin taking a full second and a half before he fires but now I see him firing in just a split second which makes me think this game was always meant to be this hard and using outdated computers during its time was basically giving you easy mode.

[@kehi1809]

This literally was like one of the first webpages I saw in my life. I must've been about 7, and was browsing the web for the first time with my brother. After going to the Nick, Disney, and Cartoon Network websites, I asked my brother something along the lines of "are there any more?"

This taught me the effect of music on a person. I did so much better when I turned off that stress inducing soundtrack, couldn’t ever beat mission 2 with the music playing

[@vincent1935]

I remember there was this glitch in mission one in the part where there are about 10 lasers back to back and if you get zapped at the right place, Porky somehow teleports to the floor above, and slides across the floor while being electrocuted the whole time

[@RevanNaut]

Fucking hell, for a kids flash game, it pulls alot of cheap and dirty tricks on you. 2nd level took me 8 tries before I could finally pass it.

[@joaotoldi]

that second level is absurd

[@ARWINGx1]

Although this is irrelevant, (or pointless) but on Mission 4, when destroying all the debris, mines, everything... keeping your distance would allow you to get an earlier heads up. In other words, keep your distance when on the defensive. then get in close/boost towards the target when you think it's time to drop the hammer. (Cadet will of course give the signal when it's time to do so.)

I remember this game! And it’s extremely impossible! I tried to complete other missions besides one, but I failed a dozen times. This game is the definition of Dark Souls of CN games. The ship missions in this game is 100 times more impossible than Dark Souls! I would never complete those missions. You have to be extremely fast, and focused in order to beat it. It’s really fun, but it’s really hard. R.I.P Flash. You will be missed.
