9 Forgotten Nickelodeon Game Shows From the 90s

Remember when Nickelodeon game shows in the late 1980s and 1990s were basically a weekly invitation to get slimed, covered in pies, and thrown into the most chaotic kids game show obstacles ever put on TV? In this deep-dive nostalgia trip, we’re revisiting the golden age of Nickelodeon—from Double Dare and its legendary Obstacle Course, to the “tear-the-house-apart” madness of Finders Keepers and the celebrity-slime showdown Figure It Out.

We break down what made each show work (and what made a few go totally off the rails): the rules, the hosts, the iconic challenges, and why these series became the messy blueprint for Nickelodeon’s entire identity. Whether you grew up dreaming of conquering the Aggro Crag, sprinting through the Hidden Temple, or just getting absolutely drenched in green slime on national television—this video is a full-on time machine back to the loudest, goofiest era of kids TV.
