 Starting in 1988 with ''Double Dare'', Nickelodeon would venture into licensing and co-producing video games, with the '''Nick Games''' banner being introduced in 2002. Nickelodeon released a large number of games, most notably those published by [[THQ]], starting their collaborations with ''The Ren & Stimpy Show: Space Cadet Adventures'' in 1992. These include games based on their licensed properties, such as [[:wikipedia:SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom|SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom]] and [[:wikipedia:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge]], as well as original franchises such as [[:wikipedia:Tak and the Power of Juju|Tak and the Power of Juju]], which would later get it's own series on the network.

 THQ's last few years saw a decline in the number of collaborations with Nickelodeon, with the two companies eventually cutting ties with each other for financial reasons. In 2011, the two released their very last game together, [[:wikipedia:SpongeBob's Surf & Skate Roadtrip|SpongeBob's Surf & Skate Roadtrip]]; the very next year saw THQ declaring Chapter 11 bankruptcy and selling off most of their franchises - and eventually their name - to [[:wikipedia:THQ Nordic|Nordic Games]], now known as THQ Nordic. The Drawn to Life Series was not among them, being sold to [[505 Games]] in April 2013. Nickelodeon's licensed games remained in the hands of the network, with their games division teaming up with other publishers to licensed their franchises to, including THQ Nordic.
