   Maybe just nostalgia talking, but the height of Newgrounds really seemed like a golden age for light gaming. The shift to mobile games has just resulted in a large number of gambling simulators, which I'm sure has been a key reason for the popularity of Kalshi, Polymarket, etc.

      I would argue the height of light gaming was the height of Kongregate, which was a little past newgrounds' own.

      The games were more polished by the time, but still quite wild.
