I spent many happy IT lessons messing around on Newgrounds when I was a kid. And, to further age me - Rotten and Maddox!
From that, I built my first site at about 12/13 with a friend - essentially, a cheat code site-turned emulator and ROMs mirror link directory. It ended up, for a late 90s/early 2000s Geocities site, becoming quite popular.
Fast forward to now and, I'm optimistically curious about what AI can do in and around gaming. I was trying to keep track on X, Reddit and elsewhere of releases - and kept losing creators and links.
So, not dissimilar to that Geocities effort, I built this site, Playground Arcade. Using GPT 6, I've pulled a huge number of games into one place for me and others to find, play, review and share. Quality will obviously vary, as with dev-built.
It auto-updates to find new AI-built browser games - there are currently more than 700, all categorised, with full creator credit, device icons and showing controller support.
Creators can add their own, too.
If nothing else, it's cost me very little, has shone a light on a good few games for the 500+ uniques to date, and helped me discover the likes of Sprout Quest (light-hearted RPG fare), Tailgrab Freeskater (a cutesy, controller-supported THPS build - great fun) and The Hourglass City (you play a PI in a noir Broken Sword-like point and click game).
In short: I think many of you might enjoy it too, and I'd love any and all feedback.
Cheers either way!
