Two sets of Adobe Flash games hosted online, Scooby-Doo (Flash) featured Shaggy and Scooby on their own adventures, with the rest of the gang absent but mentioned.
The "Ghost Pirates" set features them waking up after a feast on a cruise, only to find everyone missing and a ghost ship commanded by the nefarious Ghost Captain.
The "Mayan Mayhem" set features Shaggy and Scooby travelling to Central America hunting for some legendary Blazing Inferno Hellfire Sauce to make the world's spicest chilli, only to run afoul of an angry Mayan statue.
A central mechanic between both is that if Shaggy and Scooby find any hazards, their "Scare Meter" rises. If it fills, they panic and run away altogether.
