Pico's School is a 1999 Flash game developed by Tom Fulp for his website Newgrounds. At the time of its release, it was "one of the most sophisticated" browser games, exhibiting "a complexity of design and polish in presentation that [was] virtually unseen in amateur Flash game development".[1][2] It has been widely credited with kickstarting the Flash games scene and helping launch Newgrounds "as a public force".[1][3][4]
The game is a point-and-click adventure/shooter that was inspired by the Columbine High School massacre, putting the player in the shoes of the titular Pico, who has to fight a group of stereotypical goth kids who have killed their classmates.[4]
