Treasure Hunt 2010 - Games 2 of 3

[TomFulp]

Rock, Paper Shotgun's article about Newgrounds being the world's most prolific gaming platform is perfectly timed with today's post, where I dump another giant load of under-appreciated games on everyone.

Apparently research was being done to declare iOS the world's largest gaming platform, but instead they found that it's Newgrounds. My favorite part of the article is the comments, where some rock-dweller says, "I just took at look at the latest submissions list with 'Aliens Seduce Woman ep 2' and quietly clicked away." Welcome to Newgrounds!

So yesterday was DAY 1 of the Treasure Hunt results and we sorted through a big batch of platformers. There were TWO on my master list that I accidentally left out, so here they are:

On Monday I'll be posting the final list of games - Puzzles, Adventures, Strategy, Simulation and Fighting.

Then it's on to the movies!

[Makeshift]

I just wanna see the movies.

[LDAF]

Always nice to see so many great games being re-descovered. Can't wait to see the list with fighters. And lol at newgrounds being the best "game platform". :P

[Manly-Chicken]

I'm pretty sure Newgrounds also has more movies than Netflix.

[morcov]

Fapping to 'Kiss Joe Jonas' tonight.

Welcome to Newgrounds!

I was reading the comments on that page earlier today and I too laughed at the one who was disturbed at "Aliens Seduce Woman ep 2". Good thing he didn't look any further in on this site for the sake of his sanity.

lol. Tom, help me with my fap too!! :)

[Emrox]

You should have the top scorers of each category go into a final vote. That way everyone can vote on what they think is the best of the best.

This, but we should just vote on them period. (Score isn't important here!)

[Kanon]

I'm almost willing to bet my freedom to you Tom that, that "Rock-Dweller" probably has an account on here and are just saying things because their games aren't up there with the best.

Also, congratulations for havin NG being the top game site.

Hot

[cast]

I dig it when NG gets exposure and recognition because almost nobody loves this site more than I do - but I wish he would have done a little more research before writing that.

[AxelTheNavy]

"it has, already, more than three times as many as the last twenty-five years of console gaming combined."

That's like saying the the Louvre museum is not as big of an art gallery as DeviantArt, which I would THOROUGHLY think twice about calling an "art" gallery.

[Luis]

First post.

Sorry Tom, i forgot.

[Magical-Zorse]

I liked japanophilia and tree of knowledge

[VidGameDude]

*a generic witty comment posing no value*

l8s

[PopSecret]

Horray for S-W-A-T! I love that game.

[groundbreaker91]

Sweet, some great stuff in there. Also, congrats on the recognition, its always good when ng gets props =D

I liked Aubital the most.

My runners up are Fat Slice, Guns and Monocles, Superstar Combo

[Jon]

Awesome treasure hunt as usual!

[digital-musician]

Glad to see, Newgrounds is doing so well for itself. Next, world domination.

[Hacsev]

Nice! Though, what I'm really looking up to is the movies. So far good work, Tom!

[black-father]

i hope my game ends up in the treasure hunt list..

congratz for whose games ended up in the list and i am happy to hear about newgrounds being the biggest host of games

[Phenom9]

I forgot about Fat Slice... I like that one and I could have suggested it. I also like Hundreds.

And if I had to chose between NG and iShit... Well you know. NG!
