Doogtoons: Colorful, Funny, Original

Today, it seems like all cartoons are either produced by Seth Macfarlane ("Family Guy", "The Cleveland Show", "American Dad") or a team of robots that were programmed to rearrange '90s episodes of "The Simpsons" into something less funny that kind of seems new ("The Simpsons"). But even if the Fox network can't be bothered to show you something animated that you haven't seen before, that doesn't mean original animation is dead or relegated to Adult Swim's irregular schedule. Don't believe us? Well, stop being so incredulous and read our profile of Doogtoons. They're cartoons you haven't seen before!

The Original Elf Bowling

Small Talk:

It's easy to see how this wacky holiday game became the runaway Internet hit of 1999's Christmas season. NStorm, the creator, made the cartoonish graphics and mechanics top notch, laced with brash touches in the silly scenario of a gang of striking toy factory elves bowled down (strike!) by Santa Claus.

The Bad News:

Currently, it appears NStorm has discontinued its online access of the original Elf Bowling game. Whether the competition will return at some future date is unknown.

The Good News:

NStorm is presenting three variations of the Elf Bowling theme, so there's still plenty of fun to be enjoyed from the wacky pixies. Choose Elf Bowling: Hawaiian Vacation, Elf Bowling Holiday Bundle, or Elf Bowling 7?: The Last Insult.

Unfortunately, there are no online play versions of these games at NStorm, but you can download free trial copies to Windows systems. Full feature games are available for purchase.
