Hey there! New to the forum but I wanted to throw my two cents in, if I could. Back in the early 2000's when flash player was still officially called "Macromedia Flash" Nickelodeon.com (now known as nick.com) had a bunch of flash games on their site. Random ones relating to every show that had ever aired up to that point and even some that didn't if I recall. My memory is foggy as it was 15+ years ago but I remember at least two games.
The first has stuck in my mind for years, it was a side scrolling platformer/puzzle based around either Nickelodeon GUTS or Double Dare. You took control of a kid with a helmet, knee and elbow pads and had to jump into trampolines to reach the end of the stage, with each stage getting progressively harder. It frustrated me a lot as a kid because I never grasped how to get the kid to jump off the trampoline so I would get stuck on the first level a lot.
The second game is a bit more clouded in memory, It may have been Hey Arnold! themed but I am not certain. It was your typical birds-eye-view hit the target type game? You played as a kid on the top of a roof with water balloons and the goal was to get as many points as possible hitting targets, like people or cars, I think birds may have been an option as well? I'm not sure.
I remember there were plenty more games to chose from. By the mid 2000s, (2003-2005 ish if I had to give a more exact date) There were flash games on the site from nickelodeon shows from the 90's, hence the GUTS/Double Dare trampoline game I mentioned. I know flash died last year but I only ask because while the wayback machine has plenty of captures of the site from those times, a lot of them get redirected to newer versions of the site, or just don't load anything. And- as I'm unfortunately seeing now while I type out this post- most of the captures from 2004 onward redirect to a "download the latest flash player" page
