625: Nicktoons Games (Patreon)

For a very long time, TV cartoons were bad. But in the early '90s, two cable TV executives posed the question "What if they were good?" And thus, Nicktoons was born. This brand of creator-driven animated programs shook the world with its effort to provide pure entertainment for kids with zero interest in spinning moral tales or selling toys—though eventually, they'd sell a hell of a lot toys. And that's where we come in! This week on Retronauts, join Bob Mackey, Henry Gilbert, and O.K. KO! Let's Be Heroes creator Ian Jones-Quartey as the crew dives into the many games based on the first round of Nicktoons. (Spoiler: You'd have to be a sick little monkey to enjoy them!)
