This just made me feel really old.

Yeah that headline made me feel really old and the above thought just popped into my head. Flash games remind me of my Atari 2600 in certain nostalgic ways.

I spent a lot of my childhood on Newgrounds. I’m happy to see it alive and kicking.

Newgrounds taught me about the "fair use" defense when parodying wayyyyy back when their "Teletubby fun land" got them the ire of the BBC's lawyers.

I can't find anything documenting that saga -- in fact, it looks like a lot of the early content from before the "auto portal" an early precursor to video portal like Youtube -- called such because for a spell you had to email Tom your work to be featured in the "portal" -- clicking it took you a random user contribution, and below it was a hand curated list.

People forget how innovative, on a technical level, games like "Pico's School" were in the 90s.

I still remember a computer camp counselor admonishing me "you shouldn't know what that is, you're a kid" when first shown Linux and told to "open pico" and blurted out "I didn't know Tom Fulp made linux too".

Anyways thanks for the blast to the past OP -- I had no idea the site was still thriving, happy to hear it.

(And I hope one day they can resurrect the old school "Assassin" games)
