One of the rarest Cartoon Network PC games has just received its most complete preservation to date. Cartoon Network’s Toon Jam! – a 1995 Windows title featuring Red Book audio tracks and FMV segments, and which has long been a tough find for collectors and preservationists alike.
While the game had previously surfaced as an ISO image a few years ago – that release omitted the crucial audio data found on the original mixed-mode CD. A proper bin/cue image — capturing both the game data and its Red Book audio has now appeared on Archive.org, marking the first time Toon Jam! has been preserved in its complete digital form.
The accompanying promotional VHS tape that originally shipped with the game has also been available on Archive.org for over a year, making this one of the most comprehensively archived Cartoon Network tie-in titles to date.
At this stage, the only missing pieces appear to be high-quality scans of the box and any included documentation – meaning the hunt isn’t entirely over just yet.
For more background, see the Cartoon Network Fandom page and the Lost Media Wiki entry, which details the earlier ISO discovery. A recent eBay listing also shows just how rarely this title surfaces in the wild.
With thanks to LiqMatrix for highlighting the recovery.
