Newgrounds will always have a special place in my heart. I remember learning flash over the summer on a lark and porting a game a friend of mine had originally written in Q-basic. It was the first time I'd ever "shipped" something and Newgrounds was where I launched it. The game ended up on the frontpage which at the time was a huge deal. From there, my game started showing up all over the web at various flash game websites. One site offered me $50 for a non-exclusive license which for a college kid was fantastic! Paid for a nice dinner and drinks for me and my friend. Its neat seeing the game show up in the top 2000 as well.

Game in question is Roadblocks for anyone interested https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/192217
