Play Cartooners Online
You pick goofy pixel characters, type commands like "DANCE" or "EXPLODE," and watch them glitch through absurd slapstick scenes. It's like digital finger-painting with chaos.
Game Overview
Oh man, Cartooners—that takes me back. I remember firing this up on our clunky old PC and feeling like I'd stumbled into some weird digital puppet show. You'd pick these blocky characters with oversized heads, then string together animations by typing in commands like "JUMP" or "TRIP." The results were always janky in the best way—imagine a stick figure attempting ballet and faceplanting into a pile of pixels.
The real magic was how unpredictable it felt. You could make a cowboy chase a dinosaur, then have them both get hit by a flying pie mid-scene. The animations stuttered, the "storylines" made zero sense, and that was the whole charm. It was like playing with digital action figures where the only rule was "see what happens."
Looking back, it's crazy how much freedom this little DOS program gave you. No tutorials, no fancy tools—just a blank screen and whatever weird ideas your 10-year-old brain could cook up. I probably spent more time laughing at the glitchy results than actually making coherent cartoons.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
