Time for another update from the guys at PC subscription service GameTap - this time they’ve declared it “Cartoon Week”, and they’re using their supreme licensing clout to get a hold of some of the biggest names in cartoon-based franchise games. This is particularly cool, of course, since most licensed games fall into some sort of legal grey area after a few years.

Fortunately, with GameTap’s Time Warner parentage, it means titles like Bugs Bunny in Double Trouble for the Game Gear, and The Powerpuff Girls: Mojo Jojo's Clone Zone, Earthworm Jim 3D and Scooby-Doo! Showdown in Ghost Town for PC are back on the market.

Plus, there’s the awesome (though blindingly difficult, from memory) Adventures of Batman & Robin for Genesis, and, to top it all off, the arcade version of Bubble Bobble. Sure, Bub and Bob aren’t actually cartoon characters, but who’s complaining?
