TV cartoon-inspired games
Group Description
Games directly inspired from "cartoon shows" on the TV. This includes American-made cartoons, European animation and Asian anime. In cases where multiple media exist for a title name, the game has to be directly influenced by the events/storyline/style of the TV cartoon series for it to be included in this group.
Limitations:
- Movie adaptations of cartoon series are considered Movies and belong in that game group instead;
- Likewise, games that are primarily based off of a comic book or manga rather than the version of events shown in the TV Series would not be considered TV Cartoon Inspired Games, unless they were directly referencing drawing style, characters and events depicted in the animated series.
Additional Note
As aforementioned, please note many popular TV cartoons
may not have been originally a TV cartoon, but based on various adaptations. Please research the background of a title in mention before submitting a title here, and mention justification/source when submitting. Thank you.
