Funbrain Arcade (or Croc Hopper)

Funbrain Arcade was a portion of the Funbrain children's education website where people could play mini-games on a board-type layout. The board had 25 spaces, each corresponding to a mini-game. The first 12 games were games that were also available as solo games on the main website. The 13th game, labeled "Croc Hopper", would bring up a sketch of a turtle and the text "Coming Soon." This would remain in place until the whole page was removed, a decade after it went up.



Funbrain did modify the source code for the arcade at times. They re-made the board with a Froot Loops layout once.



I seem to remember them making a couple other games. There was a puzzle game that would reveal a branded image, and you would have to say what was in the image in order to win. One version of the game used the movie Wall-E.



All of the art on the board was from one of the 12 games, except for a drawing of a crocodile.



The question here is why, in its 10 years of existence, did Croc Hopper not come out?



Things to look into:

- Did they release other non-branded games between the arcade's launch and the time it shut down?

- Who worked at Funbrain?

- Was there a technical limitation causing them to not add more games?

- Why couldn't they add games they already had?
