Porky Pig's Haunted Holiday is a side-scrolling platform game. The main character, Porky Pig, can move left and right, jump, swing on chains, climb, enter doorways and ride bubbles underwater. Standing on some platforms causes a vampire-costumed Daffy Duck to appear, scaring Porky and propelling him up into the air to reach high places. Enemies in a level can be defeated either by jumping on them or hitting them with fruit after collecting a fruit bowl power-up.

More wrestling action for DStv customers
During the week, MultiChoice in select African territories decided to give consumers access to all the wrestling action on channel 128 from 20 March to 2 April. As somewhat of a countdown to WrestleMania. Some of the content seen on the brand include Raw, SmackDown, NXT, Notsam Wrestling and archived material viewed on the WWE Network.
In other developments, the pay-tv company is gearing up for Ramadan with yet another Islamic pop-up channel but this time based in Nigeria, Mustaeina TV.
Last year, we rolled out a gaming brand Insidus Games and we recieved plenty of fans from regions such as the Netherlands, Germany, United States and you too South Africa and after giving it some thought we phased out blogging component of the site.
Take to note, we're not shutting down Insidus Games quite the contrary we're leaving it open for those who wish to continue using the site but for further content there's here and what others see as MediaFire is currently being used to construct a new project, Insidus Collection.
I can't give much details as to when it will be ready we're hoping before December 2023 or early 2024. What we can add is that Insidus Games alongside a yet-to-be-launched brand will fall under this brand, Insidus Collection.
With the changing world integrating we thought of doing some changes ourselves alongside Insidus Collection we're looking to explore our presence through other platforms and do other things as time progresses.
Insidus is looking to be an entertainment brand sure we may have Regular Nick, Everyday Novelas or even DStv Flex spread across the web but we're not sticking to labels we're looking to explore more options without damaging the already mentioned brands.
We want to show consumers what we're good for and explore other versions of Insidus. Hats off 2023 and to all the opportunities that await.
In an effort to rule the world, the evil Mojo Jojo has unleashed his latest invention - a machine that will turn all of mankind into blabbering monkeys! It's up to The Powerpuff Girls to save the day. Fly to all four corners of the earth and defeat hordes of monkey menaces under Mojo's control. Use special powers like Blossom's Ice Breath and Bubbles' Sonic Scream and prepare for a final showdown in space with the mad monkey himself!
The game follows Jack's quest through seven areas to obtain the elemental gem pieces of an amulet that can send him back to his own time. As more gemstones are collected, the player unlocks more of Jack's weapons and abilities, such as a super jump and a battle hammer.
Courage The Cowardly Dog: Haunted House was an arcade style isometric shooter exclusively for java phones. This was the only time Courage got a game outside flash games on Cartoon Network's website.
It was developed sometime before 2005 by Macrospace (now Glu Mobile) that developed upcoming Insidus Games such as Scooby-Doo and Samurai Jack.
The aim of the game:
You have supernatural powers which can be used against your enemies. Collect pies and this will give you extra points. Use your supernatural skills and light a fire to prevent the monsters from eating you and your friends.
Haunted House is about seeing how far you can go and increase your score. It's basically about trying to survive as Courage battles a bunch of monsters from the animated series and collect some powerups to help him on his quest.
I've played this game later in my teen years as I wasn't aware it existed but what I've noticed is that the levels seem repetitive but with more monsters and powerups added.
What's annoying about this game here is the monsters sometimes when you stand close to one of their entry ways. They mysteriously pop-up as the door opens I mean you don't see them enter.
Sometimes even the rooms Courage is in can get crammed with all these monsters especially ones where you have protect Eustice or Muriel.
Regardless, Haunted House is a great game.
Someone breaks into Grim's trunk and releases his Mojo Balls, orbs of dark magic that infect anyone who touches them with supernatural rage, causing everyone in Endsville to senselessly fight each other. Following a suspicious trail of feathers, Billy, Mandy, Grim, and Irwin travel to various locations to simultaneously recover the Mojo Balls and look for clues as to who released them, defeating others infected by mojo rage along the way.
After being led back to Billy's house, the group recovers the last of the mojo from the brain-eating meteor that crashes in his backyard. The others then discover that Billy was the one who opened Grim's trunk hoping to free "Moe and Joe"; a curse Grim had put on the trunk as a failsafe measure had caused Billy to begin sprouting chicken feathers, which he had been leaving a trail of so he would not get lost. Everyone is infuriated at Billy, and Mandy breaks the fourth wall to express hope that the game includes a mode where they can all beat him up. The player is then able to control Mandy and attack Billy for the duration of the game's credits sequence.
A new game based on Scooby-doo-bi-doo-bi-doo cartoon. You have to play for Shaggy, his best friend, who should pass a long way to go through the game, so be careful as you will find a lot of ghosts! The game consists of a Tetris with the elements of an adventure.
Scooby-Doo Mystery is the name of two video games released by Acclaim Entertainment in 1995 based on the Scooby-Doo animated series. One of the games was released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and is an adventure game with platforming elements. The other title, released for the Sega Genesis is a more traditional adventure game with a point-and-click-style interface. Both were released exclusively in North America. In both games, players take control of Shaggy Rogers and Scooby-Doo, who help solve various mysteries with other members of Mystery Incorporated who serve minor roles during gameplay.

The Flintstones: Grocery Hunt has to be one of the best arcade puzzle games produced by Macrospace (now Glu). I remember playing it several years back and realising how simple the gameplay was at the time.
Fred and Barney have just returned from the Bedrock shopping mall, proud that they have managed to buy everything on the shopping list. What they don't know is that the shopping bags have great big holes in them! Nearly all the groceries have fallen out. Wilma and Betty are furious! Now it's up to you to help Fred and Barney find all the lost groceries before nightfall!
Grocery Hunt had to be the least stressful game around I mean each level got longer but the difficulty always remained the same throughout so anyone with kids should let them have a hand on this cause really it doesn't seem challenging.
The thing that impressed me about the game was the whole theme of the game and the use of some characters like Wilma whenever you run out of time she hunts you down and if she finds you GAME OVER.
The classic java game is now available for Android users.
The Powerpuff Girls Robo Storm is a funny shooter with the participation of flying robots, in which you play as one of the powerpuff girls. Protect Townsville, fight with the big monkey Mojo Jojo. Collect "Chemical X ' in order to add some strength and power to your skills!
