    It has all of the flash games right there, you don't have to go and search endlessly for the one you want. It's blocked at school though.

    Newgrounds is home to over 20 years of content built using Adobe Flash. Unfortunately, most browser manufacturers will be dropping support for the Flash plugin, and these submissions will no longer play directly in your browser.
