Just a quick clarification - I am not trying to claim that this video covers *every* fun classic game out there, there's no way I could do that in a reasonable amount of time! I just tried to cover as many as possible. If you know of a classic game I didn't cover here and you want people to know about it, pop it in the comments :)
One thing to consider about old ROBLOX is that the front page had a super high turnover. New games constantly became popular, so even if they were simple, they didn't have to hold our attention for very long, cos we would soon move on to the next big thing. When I first played in 2008, the most popular game would only have around 50 concurrent players, so it's not surprising that what was popular could be completely different from one day to the next.
This, it's really rare to find variety in games nowadays, because most of the stuff you see on the front page is just the same everyday games. Even then, I feel like the recommended for you page is just too small
It's also pretty necessary to add that server size was *limited* as all hell, meaning that it was MUCH more difficult for games to sustain (or even achieve) the critical mass of people that continue attention beyond that initial appearance on the front page
I dont remember the last time I saw a major shift in the front page. like, every few months a single new shitty ptw dopamine inducing pile of garbage claws its way into the cesspool that is the front page, but thats about it.
@@inkorporeal204 Back then in order to even be in frontpage was to have the most visits, right now when i see the popular page, I always see games that is not as popular on it for some reason? Like I have seen 3k player game next to a 100k player game, like it is just completely rigged on how popular a game actually is these days.

Finally another dude who likes STD2, I was addicted to that game ong. Until I got banned for a few months and lost interest. Man I remember when I was banned I thought my Roblox career was over.
While not "old", i really miss playing the older tycoon games and still think theyre fun to play and experience the nostalgia. Hell, the first game i ever played was superhero tycoon. On a side note, i agree more people should play Base wars, that game was really fun
Natural Disaster Survival living for 15 years is insane. I think the fun chaos + diversity of maps + effects of the disasters make it deserve its popularity. It's so simple yet so fun. It is also still receiving new updates and maps which is cool!
i think the main appeal of old roblox was that it definitely felt more like a online social hangout than now. games were so bare bones that it felt like you were battling legos with random people. aside from the obvious fact that i'm no longer the same age as i was 12 years ago, i feel like roblox has become a much more advanced engine to the point where it's no longer possible to feel the same feeling from that era. people are either making cash grabs or insanely impressive videogame experiences where it's not as possible to feel that way.
Pretty much exactly this ^ What games do people even play now that are actually good? Because most if not all just look like cash grabs or just look terrible, but I'm genuinely curious to know what people like to play these days
@@alkimia1791ngl I’ve actually found a lot of pretty cool games, they obviously don’t give that old feeling anymore but they give me a bit of hope for the future games of Roblox
@@alkimia1791i personally am a big fan of phighting! it's a red team vs blue team class based fighter game, with 14 classes to choose from currently. it's really fun & the community is super nice to beginners :-)
I like it how you actually consider if old Roblox was actually good. I think that really only the community was better back in the day, the games were fun. But not as improved and detailed as the newest Roblox games. Thanks for not showing bias.
I'm surprised you didn't mention Person299's Minigames, since it has around 5-20 players at any given point and is still updated relatively frequently for such an old game
Work at a pizza place is so goated, I would literally fight others to become the manager. Now I still play it & grind for the coins. Love the game so much, big part of my childhood & still is a big part of my life to this day.
Survive and kill the killers in area 51 (the original one) is still such a banger after many years of playing it and I'm so happy that it still gets updated, and that the player base is very stable
I really do miss the old roblox building style where everything was built brick by brick instead of everything being modelled in blender and imported it was very charming and beautiful and the added benefit was the map destruction that was possible because of it - I remember so many old games like " the end of robloxia " that relied on map destruction as the main gimick and I honestly miss it
the end of roblox by kadenzombie8 and is a remaster of amazeman’s game. it has this brick built style and that map destruction and it is super fun. it combines a classic style with modern scripting and gameplay and is overall a joy. the old building style of older games is probably one of their biggest strengths and i think games like that today with modern improvements would absolutely be top notch.
Exactly Roblox used to be the Lego block game now it’s just recreating cod or stuff like that. Don’t get me wrong I love hopping on Roblox every once in awhile and playing some of the games cause they are good but just not the feel I want.
@@EthanHebert- I don't fault roblox for moving past it's lego block aesthetic , with the introduction of devEX it was enevitable games would get competitive with their graphics to attract more users. But I do miss those early days where roblox games were simple & blocky.
I really miss that old blocky look too. While yeah the newer style looks more modern, I don't really see the appeal. Especially with how many games these days just really aren't that great. I'm genuinely curious to know what games people like to play these days
You're on a roll when it comes to making roblox videos that no one has really thought of before! Its very interesting getting to see how certain roblox developers from back then managed to essentially smash rocks together in just the right way to create a bright and raging fire that persists today! As for the editing, I really like how you're able to convey everything you need to with just music, that little talk about the chaos of base wars in its prime felt so much more meaningful with the music in the background. Of course you have the normal editing that feels snappy and constantly moving. A bit disappointed there weren't any really obscure games on this list, but hey, the best ones are the ones everyone clings Ig. Other stuff I really liked: 16:56 same 18:33 not sure if this is satire or not, but the implication of the same blood decal being plastered everywhere being too much for youtube is absolutely hilarious 31:56 Glad you suffered through survive the disasters 2 as I did, it was a hell as a child, but a fun hell, nontheless. Keep making the roblox videos that no one else will, Nitrolord! Thanks for giving me another reason to procrastinate on important work.
I wish more RUclipsrs brought up classic underrated games since it is hard to find these due to them being hidden behind a huge wall of overrated, low-quality, highly profitable games. Thanks for making this video. I've found a lot of interesting games to play. Keep it up bro.
I'm starting to remember why I had to step away from this game lol I remember the home page being filled with low quality, overrated crap all the time. Nothing really caught my attention anymore
Survive the Disasters was also the first game I ever bought a gamepass for… which was back in 2019 lmao. I still honestly love the first game, I played it recently for about 2 or so hours. Never got into the sequel all that much tbh, I just like the classic simplicity more than modernized stuff.
work at a pizza place is largely fun because of the janky physics,cars getting flung,players being flung,cars glitching through walls,the ovens exploding and launching players,trolling anyone trying to play the game as intended with the glitchy and hilarious physics engine
I think the reason pizza place managed to survive for so long is that roblox games entered the ' app era ' sometime around the late 2010s, now-days if you can make a simple game to entertain a mobile audience you've secured yourself an easy bag since parents who let the Ipad raise their kids will spend hours upon hours on the most mind numbingly boring games
As someone with an account from 2008 and started in 2007, I think why I miss roblox back then (aside from nostalgia) is because the simplicity was the charm. I used to play a lot of roleplaying games like the old high school and robloxaville map. The game was like a virtual, social lego game and your imagination was what made it come to life. With how overcomplicated things are now it feels like sensory overload and caters to the ipad kid demographic where the more complicated and distracting, the better. Also, rip tix. I miss being able to buy clothes with virtual money.
My favorite old roblox game was called something like "Elemental Wars" I think. Or it mightve been called Superhero Battle. There was more than 1, so I don't remember. But the concept was that you spawned near teleports that led you to rooms with givers (you know, those boxes that gave you tools) and each teleport was themed around one elemental power. It was _incredibly_ basic with most classes having the same "shoot" and "path" tools, just colored the same as their element, with some giving unique items (like Wind gave you that staff tool that blows other players away). I remember breaking the game because you could use the paths to fly back up to the teleport/giver rooms, and just collect every other power's items. Now most of those tools and scripts are broken :/
dude seriously its so fucking absurd the games that are popular nowadays, all you get are dogshit gambling simulators with UI so cluttered its fucking nauseating and im like wtf is going on?? i miss when people actually put effort into their games because they wanted to make something cool and fun for others to check out instead of trying their hardest to make another shitty cash grab to get you addicted to gambling
Old Roblox had a charm to it that just cant be replicated anymore. It used to be that every game stuck to the theme that you were a block character in a world of blocks and the whole game stuck with that theme. Each place was like a different level that took place in this world of blocks. Now Roblox is a platform full of simulator games that don't really have that identity anymore. You have full-on Call of Duty and Forza clones now that were made by studios full of developers who get paid. Old Roblox games were made by a singular person who made it for the fun of it. The limit of everything being simple and blocky that required a bit more imagination definitely had a charm. In the end, modern and classic Roblox are so radically different that they can't really be compared.
there was one roblox game i use to playh back when i first joined witch was called zombie assult that game had a full on cutscene when you first go into a game lobby ( you dropped down into the map and the cutscene would play) and you never saw that in any other old roblox game and i always thought it was unqie for that. like it was an actual story driven game. to bad it has fallen to the way side cause in my thoughts it should be part of roblox history for that. ( started in 08 and still have my og account)
One game I've been playing since release is Strife. It is a classic and I believe its one of the few fighting games on Roblox to pioneer its genre of arena-class based fighting games. Great game as always man.
I've been playing roblox since 2012, and to be completely honest the current state of Roblox games just kind of blows and I still believe that the older iterations of the platform were more enjoyable for me. Not because of the fact that the website changed, the removal of a free currency (which enabled heavy botting), or because the overall art direction switched from a more lego like style. I actually very much love seeing how much the platform has grown and evolved in terms of server quality and character creation. Its less enjoyable because of the content of the games themselves. Prior groups like Mad Studio eventually setting the norm for roblox game development nowadays, the games were just created by fellow users and rarely had much of a profit incentive in mind. Because of this, many games were variations of current popular platform specific trends (think sword fighting and stamper tool building games) with their own personal deviations. The Personal Server feature is also something I genuinely feel was a massive boon to the community thats since fallen into utter obscurity since its removal. I have so many fond memories interacting with the hosts of these servers and building stuff together with complete strangers. I even had a personal server at one point that managed to amass 100 visits and have like 30-50 concurrent players all building together with the tools roblox provided. The Roblox Forums community prior to Quackity ruining everything by turning them into a complete meme (after his raids more and more new users popped up with the sole intent to troll) and getting them removed had so many people who would just ask others to test out their cool little hang out or pvp games and we would all play together. Astrians OT bunker was another common hangout spot I remember vividly. Ever since the removal of personal servers, the forums, and the shift from individuals to large profit driven game group studios, the games just don't feel the same anymore and I often find myself rotating between the same 5 or 6 older games whenever I play on the platform.
Very well-reasoned argument. I definitely enjoyed the late 2010s era the most in terms of gameplay; then again I only joined in 2016 so my experience is kind of uneducated lol
Ugh, I miss the personal servers. It’s such a shame that they got rid of it. It was so fun when people would host their own mini games and make a “beat the obby for admin!” place.
Dude I VIVIDLY remember playing the majority of these games especially the bloody mary one. I remember when the button that teleports you actually worked and you get sent to the chair there was like a 50/50 chance of you getting completely stuck in it and having to restart the entire thing. Once you finally made it past that though it was so rewarding at the time and was overall such a fun experience.
0:18 - 0:32 I played super nostalgia zones sfoth for 8 hours straight even tho I'm not a classic roblox player. ( join date around 2016/17) I love brickbattling and combined with the old roblox physics and avatars ( you can change my mind cuz I even had 30 fps cap on for the feel) CLASSIC ROBLOX IS FUN!
Blox fruits is overrated with the other popular games today but there are fun games like : SUPER NOSTALGIA ZONE, Combat Initiation, Retro Studio. Yeah I love classic styled roblox games
@IwantTobeARobloxdev I agree with Blox Fruits being overrated, but I can't agree with Super Nostalgia Zone, Retro Studio being fun, those are the types of games that you play for a few minutes and leave
@@JeLeff. If I'm right uhh what I meant by that is that I enjoy old roblox games like sword fights on the heights original but I only play those games ( Super Nostalgia zone, retrostudio )Cuz roblox changed movement systems and cuz either the original game is broken ( Pirates of the robloxian is an example ) or its overrun with exploiters ( Fencing is an example ) . ( sorry for the bad grammar and response time ) There's just something about the glitchyness and how roblox used to feel , I can't really experience such a feel in new roblox games , most roblox games now are made for money which couldn't have been the case in most games 16 years ago . ( sorry if the comment is a bit misleading )
This video was so nostalgic! Survive the Disasters was also the first game I ever bought a game pass for. Although I don’t play roblox anymore I definitely miss the feeling of playing these simple games for hours on end.
Oh my goodness, I used to play survive the disasters all the time in mid 2015. It was my childhood and I absolutely loved that game. Wish it had more players though, it deserves it. Thanks for reminding me of it.
Old roblox doesn't compare to "real games" but is comparable to flash games which everyone knows was great innocent fun. For new games they can sometimes still fit that description but most of the time it's just corporate money making games.
@@romanempirelolfnThey removed Tix because it would eventually bankrupt Roblox, as you were able to convert Tix into Robux, and the main way Roblox earned money was through Robux. If Tix wouldn't be removed, most people would've got Robux for free by converting Tix, and not by paying money.
I might be the only person who unironically thinks old roblox was 100x better. roblox was less corporate, we had a great community, we had amazing seasonal events like egg hunts and winter games. If stuff like mad paintball 2 and medieval warfare were still around, I'd be playing those (and I know they aren't gone, just dead).
A 2016 low quality classic game was an rpgs, fight the monsters (which I think was made way before 2016), and it’s sequel, battle of titans. I played the hell out of those low quality rpgs and they still are partially intact and are mostly playable and get some players on it here and there. Good times 😊
I remember the late 2000’s early 2010’s when my brother and I would play some of these older games. Work At A Pizzeria, will forever be a stable of my childhood.
When you said "sword fighting is dead" i nearly flinched lmaoo. It really is. Im a mobile sword fighter, i usually play on sword fight arena since SFOTHO OG lacks mobile shiftlock, its always the same 30 players. 😢 im not an old player by any means, i joined in 2017 and didnt switch from console to mobile till 2020, and have been sword fighting since then, but its always been steadily losing players over time. Very sad, sword fighting is so fun😊
theres this 19th century team deathmatch about the napoleonic wars called Blood & Iron (2009) which has a very active playerbase at 500 concurrent players and 68M visits, it still works and gets updated very frequently even after 14 years of it existing. its a fun game to play if youre bored
Fantastic video Nitrolord, this brought back lots of games I had totally forgotten about! You covered a hefty amount of games in this video, well done!
Hey 2011-2012 base war veteran player here. Can confirm. Especially over the summer. Those severs and chats used to be popping off on roblox, and skype those hot summer days at my pc. Long 10 hour gaming sessions back to back with apocalypse rising
Started playing roblox in 2009 and I recognized almost every game on this video. Such a throwback! I want classic sword fighting games to make a come back.
the early 2010's was such a good era of roblox, 2007-08 might be what many people consider classic but when i played in 2010 the game was completely wild, it had alot more experimental games that pushed roblox very hard, i seen so much crazy stuff and it was happening so fast that before i knew it people where using roblox meshes and mushing them together to make more complex models and it completely changed so many games, it was also the era that introduced many flaws like the 2012 april fools accident and the more obscure 2014-15 c00lkid accident (which was honestly the funniest exploiter raids because they would plaster a red guy everywhere and spam illuminati and mlg particles) The era gave birth to many overhauls and games that are still praised and remembered to this day, the game did improve more after 2015 but it had a downpour with the community and roblox as the barrier started to raise to where only investors get the treatment we used to.
YOOOOO SURVIVE THE DISASTERS CLASSIC AND MAKE A CAKE AND FEED THE GIANT NOOB!!! i LOVED this game as a kid and played it SO much, i’m so glad you mentioned it i spent SO many hours on it and still occasionally play it even today as an adult. On the topic of survive the disasters classic, before best friends and friends were converted to friends and followers, vyriss and i were friends on roblox which was cool. i played SO many hours on the game and wish most of the disasters still worked. AND hole in the wall?! hell yeah!!
I think what a lot of people mean by missing old roblox is when a lot of the games you could play were still new concepts and completely original between each other.
as someone on the autism spectrum who also experiences hyperfixations that have been detrimental to my social relationships- it’s so cool to see someone with a large following represent us and have no shame. thank you for sharing your fixation with us all!! ^w^
As someone who grew up on roblox with Aspeger syndrome. This was my game growing up and taught me to spell, have social skills and made me the person I am today. I am currently on the pathway to becoming a police officer. OG robloxian 2010 - amack0307
7:16 you unlocked a core memory deep in my brain. I taught the new version was the classic, i remember playing this older version a-lot back in the 2010’s!
There are so many games I used to love playing, but now that they're dead, it's kind of sad... Games like Flood Escape, Catalogue Heaven, Roblox High School, and the original Bake a Cake and feed a noob were some of my favorite games as a kid.
my jaw genuinely opened in excitement the moment i heard you say “Base Wars”. that game was my CHILDHOOD. i remember wanting to spend every waking moment on the family computer grinding out Base Wars. i even made paper models of the guns in that game. thanks for untapping some near and dear childhood core memories of mine
Man I used to play Base Wars so much back then. For me the most fun part about it was that it never ended. There is no objective, there is no win condition, you would just do better or worse and people would come and go. Sadly when I tried to play it again a few months ago I didn't find it as fun. imo they added too much, what was a simple deathmatch game turned into a weird RPG-FPS hybrid with way too many subclasses. Before it was still somewhat unfair with how the progression system worked but it wasn't as terrible. Old base war was simple and fun, and that's all it needed to be. I also remember I really enjoyed one update that barely lasted that made it so vehicles would get destroyed piece by piece, so if you shot the tank's cannon it'd stop working. I used to shred air vehicles with the dual chainguns, or snipe off the turrets, good fun. Later they removed this, but made it so you could snipe people off airplanes, I loved doing that.
SurviveTHE Disasters is literally the best game,IM SO HAPPY YOU COVERED IT. I used to play it my friend for hours on end in like grade 1.... those times were good the disasters used to be so hard too, like a remember a disaster in which slices of cake spawned and they tried to hunt you down but my friend thought they were friendly and died,and the fact that everyone one used to hide in the shop
as a brickbattler, i do appreciate the inclusion of crossroads (though i prefer the tob version) as it is my favorite brickbattle game after brickbattle frenzy and chaos canyon (two amazing brickbattle games which get little to no players). also your content is absolutely amazing, i genuinely think you are one of the greatest roblox youtubers there are.
i actually remember playing bloody marry back when i was like 5-6 it was really scary i remember when i went inside the toilet i cried about how much blood there was this game was really bloody thats why i enjoyed it now it brings me memories..
Does anyone remember Heroes of Robloxia? It wasnt too old but definitely forgotten, no one talks about it anymore and nor no one really plays it anymore..
I was going to wonder where SFT was, but I waited and it was on honorable mentions. I want to cry, I've had a lot of memories there --- especially getting the festive sword valkyrie from an xmas event before for that game. I will miss you SFT, but I won't forget you, you were a good game.
I think the only way to make the old games truly fun is to play the games in an accurate way to how they were. For example playing the games on Super Nostalgia Zone or using a third party revival
I just want to say your videos have been fantastic lately and I think you'll definitely reach higher levels such as toastedcherries if you keep at it! I've recently gotten back into creating Roblox content and I love talking about Roblox whether it would be on the nostalgia side or what's currently on the platform. I feel like you resonate with me a lot since you talk about classic roblox and I hear that you used to be a Geometry Dash obsessor and a fan of the Papa Louie flash games. You should definitely hit me up some time as a fellow Roblox nostalgia enjoyer! :D
I think a game that you cold have added in to this list would be blood and iron, it was created in 2009 and it still averages 400-600 players often and gets consistent updates.
I recommend playing hospital nightmare 3 in first person ngl, because the jump scares would be unexpected lol, also the Mary has a little lamb must be like a echo audio lol
I think for the most part as a kid most of the fun from those games was really just the players, if the old games had a bunch of servers and there would be new ones everyday I would totally play them
Community made roblox back than top games only had like 5-6 severs so you really felt like you were apart of something. Now when you join games it’s millions of people and 1000s of servers
honestly it makes me so sad how some of the older most popular games are completely dead now, i wish we could have a revival of some sort and bring back some of the classics like sword fighting tournament, call of robloxia, zombie tower but nowadays people only give a shit about fucking poop simulator x and skibidi toilet defense #45
A video that i would open just to make sounds while studying and just focus on the vid. No too many subjective elements, fun video and editing. Loved it
even though i am very very young when i started playing roblox, about 4 or 5 yo of something. this video give me time to think of what stuff i have done and why i will never be able to see those memory ever again. you deserved support!
Ok I wasn't quite shocked when I heard Nitro mentioned Toasted cherries, but then when when I heard him mention Izzyzzz It was like a (NO WAY YOU ACTUALLY KNOW THAT )type moment.
And natural disaster can be pretty fun when people pay for multiple disasters I still play this game to this day and it's still pretty fun the apple and the balloon kind of make it pay to win even though it's not that much and the compass is just nice to have to go to your favorite map even though a lot of players who play it now are either new players or small children but it can still be fun
With old Roblox, it was common running into administrators and playing with them. I had a ton of famous people and admins add me but because of the 2015 friends update, they just follow me now
the followers update was the most stupid and useless shit they ever decided to add, now i have no clue who all my old friends were since their all sitting in my followers list which i'll never look at
There is no way galleons still exist. I have been trying to find it for so f*^%*cking long!!! It does not appear at all no matter how much i try to search up pirate ship games but i was sure it would’ve been removed!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Me and my brother used to play catolog heaven ALL the time and even though it isnt top played or most liked we still enjoy it. Even other games on this list like crossroads or doomspire brickbattle are fun to play even though its not popular. Proves how much roblox made it fun back then. Great video Nitro!
In my opinion, the Post-Classic Era was definitely the most enjoyable part of roblox history-atleast for me, that's where I made my best memories, and most classic roblox games were still functional and populated. The game just felt a lot more alive than and a lot less corporate every ever since they added dexex. Games aren't really made for fun anymore, at least most games. Also, I find all the "modern memeyness" and "cursedness" of modern roblox has lost most of it's charm by now for me. I rarely ever play roblox and for me any new games are only played for like 30 minutes. Though I have gone back to some old functional games and played them for hours with some buddies. I am not really like most "classic" elitists and, personally, I feel like 2017 was around when roblox really started to go downhill rapidly for me.
i joined 2010 as a guest, 11 as a user. hole in the wall was the first game i ever played because i saw it on tv. & jet wars were some of my fav games. i miss old roblox and the comm.
12:46 old checkpoint racing was goated. your points saved, there were a whole lot more cars and maps, and best of all, you could customize your car with individual part colors and custom decals. there were entire communities dedicated to making decals specific for the cars in the game
Jesus loves you all forever, and he is King!! God bless you all, and have a blessed day!!! You are loved, and you are worth it!!🙏❤️ God woke y'all up for an amazing reason!!
Honestly, I think the actual reason people like old roblox isn't because of nostalgia, but the simplicity of the games and the style. There were less items to wear, more basic games with creative ideas and concepts, basically more things to do, customization of profile and etc.
i LOVE survive the disasters 2. I spent pretty a few months pretty much only playing it straight, and got really good at pacifist mode, and i actually got on the leaderboard for the highest pacifist streaks at the time, and my highest was 138. I was really proud of this moment, however after playing all the disasters many times and the game slowly dying more and more, i lost interest and eventually stopped playing. i still come back occasionally but i will always love it because man grinding that game out was so fun and i met some cool people there as well.
11:40 I just wanna say Urban Patrol was an honestly awesome and underrated game that I'm really sad he privated. There was nothing like taking a building and turning it into a fortress before fighting off countless attempts to take it as the building and the structures you built in and around are destroyed by enemy tank and artillery fire, eventually devolving into a brutal close quarters gun fight in the ruins as the enemy vehicles and your emplacements are destroyed and there's nothing to fight with but what you have on your back.
This was such a nostalgic video to watch. Some of the old games really ARE gems and still fun today. Some of my notable favourites were places like the “Iron Cafe” by IronInforcer and the Make a cake one you mentioned. Along with the classic “Ride a Nyan cat down a rainbow” by CrazyMcBloxx or “Hide and seek” by Lando46000.
Its insane to me that the OFFICIAL roblox channel had that EXTREMELY low quality and not even to mention low FPS game trailer. Like you see the old framerate videos for nostalgia and creepypasta videos of what old roblox was like but unironically seeing that is crazy.
5:13 "screw gravity" -nitrolord (and saxton hale from team fortress 2) 2 seconds before flying to the stratosphere and going out of orbit, dying in space
SURVIVE THE DISASTERS IS SO GOOD! Personally I don’t play the original anymore as I play 2 instead, I also got the 100 streak badge and when I got around the 80 mark, the people in the server I was in were cheering me on
Just a quick clarification - I am not trying to claim that this video covers *every* fun classic game out there, there's no way I could do that in a reasonable amount of time! I just tried to cover as many as possible. If you know of a classic game I didn't cover here and you want people to know about it, pop it in the comments :)
NITROLORD I LOVE YOU GOOD VID IM GONNA WATCH IT ALL

One thing to consider about old ROBLOX is that the front page had a super high turnover. New games constantly became popular, so even if they were simple, they didn't have to hold our attention for very long, cos we would soon move on to the next big thing. When I first played in 2008, the most popular game would only have around 50 concurrent players, so it's not surprising that what was popular could be completely different from one day to the next.
38:55 him: not going to face reveal 3 seconds later:
This, it's really rare to find variety in games nowadays, because most of the stuff you see on the front page is just the same everyday games. Even then, I feel like the recommended for you page is just too small
It's also pretty necessary to add that server size was *limited* as all hell, meaning that it was MUCH more difficult for games to sustain (or even achieve) the critical mass of people that continue attention beyond that initial appearance on the front page
I dont remember the last time I saw a major shift in the front page. like, every few months a single new shitty ptw dopamine inducing pile of garbage claws its way into the cesspool that is the front page, but thats about it.

i think the main appeal of old roblox was that it definitely felt more like a online social hangout than now. games were so bare bones that it felt like you were battling legos with random people. aside from the obvious fact that i'm no longer the same age as i was 12 years ago, i feel like roblox has become a much more advanced engine to the point where it's no longer possible to feel the same feeling from that era. people are either making cash grabs or insanely impressive videogame experiences where it's not as possible to feel that way.
Pretty much exactly this ^ What games do people even play now that are actually good? Because most if not all just look like cash grabs or just look terrible, but I'm genuinely curious to know what people like to play these days
@@alkimia1791 Some fun games are Zeppelin wars remastered and Traitor Town. You should check them both out
@@alkimia1791ngl I’ve actually found a lot of pretty cool games, they obviously don’t give that old feeling anymore but they give me a bit of hope for the future games of Roblox
I don’t remember ever having to pay to really play games, other than clan tags or unique clothing / decals that may have allowed you to enter
@@alkimia1791i personally am a big fan of phighting! it's a red team vs blue team class based fighter game, with 14 classes to choose from currently. it's really fun & the community is super nice to beginners :-)
I like it how you actually consider if old Roblox was actually good.
I think that really only the community was better back in the day, the games were fun. But not as improved and detailed as the newest Roblox games. Thanks for not showing bias.
Yeah when the forums were still alive it was so good.
I liked the looks and aesthetics of the old Roblox, along the community, though I think the physics engine of today is better.
@@ItzBIULD the physics of before are just as ass as they are today
@@pal9916 well I don't get flung every time I hit a wall, nor do I attach to a random person because of a physics bug.

I'm surprised you didn't mention Person299's Minigames, since it has around 5-20 players at any given point and is still updated relatively frequently for such an old game

Never mind! I found it
They’re wrong about old ROBLOX being better, it’s the community that was better
Work at a pizza place is so goated, I would literally fight others to become the manager. Now I still play it & grind for the coins. Love the game so much, big part of my childhood & still is a big part of my life to this day.
Survive and kill the killers in area 51 (the original one) is still such a banger after many years of playing it and I'm so happy that it still gets updated, and that the player base is very stable
i was looking for this comment, i love this game sm
fr though!
Im the guy in the thumbnail :P
I really do miss the old roblox building style where everything was built brick by brick instead of everything being modelled in blender and imported it was very charming and beautiful and the added benefit was the map destruction that was possible because of it - I remember so many old games like " the end of robloxia " that relied on map destruction as the main gimick and I honestly miss it
the end of roblox by kadenzombie8 and is a remaster of amazeman’s game. it has this brick built style and that map destruction and it is super fun. it combines a classic style with modern scripting and gameplay and is overall a joy. the old building style of older games is probably one of their biggest strengths and i think games like that today with modern improvements would absolutely be top notch.
I love the old blocky style! There’s really quite the charm tbh. That’s why I play Retrostudio, it’s just so cool!
Exactly Roblox used to be the Lego block game now it’s just recreating cod or stuff like that.
Don’t get me wrong I love hopping on Roblox every once in awhile and playing some of the games cause they are good but just not the feel I want.
@@EthanHebert- I don't fault roblox for moving past it's lego block aesthetic , with the introduction of devEX it was enevitable games would get competitive with their graphics to attract more users.
But I do miss those early days where roblox games were simple & blocky.
I really miss that old blocky look too. While yeah the newer style looks more modern, I don't really see the appeal. Especially with how many games these days just really aren't that great. I'm genuinely curious to know what games people like to play these days
Epikrika would be proud. Amazing work!

oh thats my own comment
one of my childhood games was a game called lets party dunno if you heard of it also great video!
You're on a roll when it comes to making roblox videos that no one has really thought of before! Its very interesting getting to see how certain roblox developers from back then managed to essentially smash rocks together in just the right way to create a bright and raging fire that persists today! As for the editing, I really like how you're able to convey everything you need to with just music, that little talk about the chaos of base wars in its prime felt so much more meaningful with the music in the background. Of course you have the normal editing that feels snappy and constantly moving. A bit disappointed there weren't any really obscure games on this list, but hey, the best ones are the ones everyone clings Ig.
Other stuff I really liked:
16:56 same
18:33 not sure if this is satire or not, but the implication of the same blood decal being plastered everywhere being too much for youtube is absolutely hilarious
31:56 Glad you suffered through survive the disasters 2 as I did, it was a hell as a child, but a fun hell, nontheless.
Keep making the roblox videos that no one else will, Nitrolord! Thanks for giving me another reason to procrastinate on important work.
Nitro really good at his job Fr
I wish more RUclipsrs brought up classic underrated games since it is hard to find these due to them being hidden behind a huge wall of overrated, low-quality, highly profitable games. Thanks for making this video. I've found a lot of interesting games to play. Keep it up bro.
I'm starting to remember why I had to step away from this game lol I remember the home page being filled with low quality, overrated crap all the time. Nothing really caught my attention anymore
Survive the Disasters was also the first game I ever bought a gamepass for… which was back in 2019 lmao. I still honestly love the first game, I played it recently for about 2 or so hours. Never got into the sequel all that much tbh, I just like the classic simplicity more than modernized stuff.
the sequel is actually underrated (because not many people were aware of it) but it's still pretty good.
Old games from 2014-2017 just hit different
2017 was the end of original games
Have so many old games from then in my favorites and badges pages that were so popular but are dead now.

work at a pizza place is largely fun because of the janky physics,cars getting flung,players being flung,cars glitching through walls,the ovens exploding and launching players,trolling anyone trying to play the game as intended with the glitchy and hilarious physics engine
It’s only fun if ur playing with friends or the server ur in has funny people but finobe work at a pizza place was fire
I think the reason pizza place managed to survive for so long is that roblox games entered the ' app era ' sometime around the late 2010s, now-days if you can make a simple game to entertain a mobile audience you've secured yourself an easy bag since parents who let the Ipad raise their kids will spend hours upon hours on the most mind numbingly boring games
Wdym with mind numbingly? Pizza place is super fun
As someone with an account from 2008 and started in 2007, I think why I miss roblox back then (aside from nostalgia) is because the simplicity was the charm. I used to play a lot of roleplaying games like the old high school and robloxaville map. The game was like a virtual, social lego game and your imagination was what made it come to life. With how overcomplicated things are now it feels like sensory overload and caters to the ipad kid demographic where the more complicated and distracting, the better.
Also, rip tix. I miss being able to buy clothes with virtual money.
You better tell me the name of this account otherwise i dont believe you
My favorite old roblox game was called something like "Elemental Wars" I think. Or it mightve been called Superhero Battle. There was more than 1, so I don't remember. But the concept was that you spawned near teleports that led you to rooms with givers (you know, those boxes that gave you tools) and each teleport was themed around one elemental power.
It was _incredibly_ basic with most classes having the same "shoot" and "path" tools, just colored the same as their element, with some giving unique items (like Wind gave you that staff tool that blows other players away).
I remember breaking the game because you could use the paths to fly back up to the teleport/giver rooms, and just collect every other power's items.
Now most of those tools and scripts are broken :/
Why would he care if u believe him?lol XD@@sau7255
@@sau7255What reason would he have for lying about this
dude seriously its so fucking absurd the games that are popular nowadays, all you get are dogshit gambling simulators with UI so cluttered its fucking nauseating and im like wtf is going on?? i miss when people actually put effort into their games because they wanted to make something cool and fun for others to check out instead of trying their hardest to make another shitty cash grab to get you addicted to gambling
what i believe is that they were fun for an audience that wouldn't expect anything more than those games and that's exactly why they're so beloved
True. This is meant for a community where a game actually running was a wonder
Old Roblox had a charm to it that just cant be replicated anymore. It used to be that every game stuck to the theme that you were a block character in a world of blocks and the whole game stuck with that theme. Each place was like a different level that took place in this world of blocks. Now Roblox is a platform full of simulator games that don't really have that identity anymore. You have full-on Call of Duty and Forza clones now that were made by studios full of developers who get paid. Old Roblox games were made by a singular person who made it for the fun of it. The limit of everything being simple and blocky that required a bit more imagination definitely had a charm. In the end, modern and classic Roblox are so radically different that they can't really be compared.
there was one roblox game i use to playh back when i first joined witch was called zombie assult that game had a full on cutscene when you first go into a game lobby ( you dropped down into the map and the cutscene would play) and you never saw that in any other old roblox game and i always thought it was unqie for that. like it was an actual story driven game. to bad it has fallen to the way side cause in my thoughts it should be part of roblox history for that. ( started in 08 and still have my og account)

I would love to go back but man new roblox is so much more fun
One game I've been playing since release is Strife. It is a classic and I believe its one of the few fighting games on Roblox to pioneer its genre of arena-class based fighting games. Great game as always man.
I LOVE THAT GAME!
I've been playing roblox since 2012, and to be completely honest the current state of Roblox games just kind of blows and I still believe that the older iterations of the platform were more enjoyable for me.
Not because of the fact that the website changed, the removal of a free currency (which enabled heavy botting), or because the overall art direction switched from a more lego like style. I actually very much love seeing how much the platform has grown and evolved in terms of server quality and character creation.
Its less enjoyable because of the content of the games themselves. Prior groups like Mad Studio eventually setting the norm for roblox game development nowadays, the games were just created by fellow users and rarely had much of a profit incentive in mind. Because of this, many games were variations of current popular platform specific trends (think sword fighting and stamper tool building games) with their own personal deviations.
The Personal Server feature is also something I genuinely feel was a massive boon to the community thats since fallen into utter obscurity since its removal. I have so many fond memories interacting with the hosts of these servers and building stuff together with complete strangers. I even had a personal server at one point that managed to amass 100 visits and have like 30-50 concurrent players all building together with the tools roblox provided.
The Roblox Forums community prior to Quackity ruining everything by turning them into a complete meme (after his raids more and more new users popped up with the sole intent to troll) and getting them removed had so many people who would just ask others to test out their cool little hang out or pvp games and we would all play together. Astrians OT bunker was another common hangout spot I remember vividly.
Ever since the removal of personal servers, the forums, and the shift from individuals to large profit driven game group studios, the games just don't feel the same anymore and I often find myself rotating between the same 5 or 6 older games whenever I play on the platform.
Very well-reasoned argument. I definitely enjoyed the late 2010s era the most in terms of gameplay; then again I only joined in 2016 so my experience is kind of uneducated lol
i joined 2012 but roblox wasnt that fun back then, moving blocks and cooking pizzas wasnt that fun
Ugh, I miss the personal servers. It’s such a shame that they got rid of it. It was so fun when people would host their own mini games and make a “beat the obby for admin!” place.

Dude I VIVIDLY remember playing the majority of these games especially the bloody mary one. I remember when the button that teleports you actually worked and you get sent to the chair there was like a 50/50 chance of you getting completely stuck in it and having to restart the entire thing. Once you finally made it past that though it was so rewarding at the time and was overall such a fun experience.

( join date around 2016/17) I love brickbattling and combined with the old roblox physics and avatars ( you can change my mind cuz I even had 30 fps cap on for the feel) CLASSIC ROBLOX IS FUN!
Blox fruits is overrated with the other popular games today but there are fun games like : SUPER NOSTALGIA ZONE, Combat Initiation, Retro Studio. Yeah I love classic styled roblox games

@@JeLeff. If I'm right uhh what I meant by that is that I enjoy old roblox games like sword fights on the heights original but I only play those games ( Super Nostalgia zone, retrostudio )Cuz roblox changed movement systems and cuz either the original game is broken ( Pirates of the robloxian is an example ) or its overrun with exploiters ( Fencing is an example ) . ( sorry for the bad grammar and response time ) There's just something about the glitchyness and how roblox used to feel , I can't really experience such a feel in new roblox games , most roblox games now are made for money which couldn't have been the case in most games 16 years ago . ( sorry if the comment is a bit misleading )
This video was so nostalgic! Survive the Disasters was also the first game I ever bought a game pass for. Although I don’t play roblox anymore I definitely miss the feeling of playing these simple games for hours on end.
Oh my goodness, I used to play survive the disasters all the time in mid 2015. It was my childhood and I absolutely loved that game. Wish it had more players though, it deserves it. Thanks for reminding me of it.
Old roblox doesn't compare to "real games" but is comparable to flash games which everyone knows was great innocent fun. For new games they can sometimes still fit that description but most of the time it's just corporate money making games.
maybe because THEY REMOVED TIX
@@romanempirelolfnThey removed Tix because it would eventually bankrupt Roblox, as you were able to convert Tix into Robux, and the main way Roblox earned money was through Robux. If Tix wouldn't be removed, most people would've got Robux for free by converting Tix, and not by paying money.
@@romanempirelolfntix was removed because people were exploiting it. robloxs economy would have crashed had they kept tix on the platform
rip flash
I might be the only person who unironically thinks old roblox was 100x better. roblox was less corporate, we had a great community, we had amazing seasonal events like egg hunts and winter games. If stuff like mad paintball 2 and medieval warfare were still around, I'd be playing those (and I know they aren't gone, just dead).
A 2016 low quality classic game was an rpgs, fight the monsters (which I think was made way before 2016), and it’s sequel, battle of titans. I played the hell out of those low quality rpgs and they still are partially intact and are mostly playable and get some players on it here and there. Good times 😊
There was also a rpg about guests
I remember the late 2000’s early 2010’s when my brother and I would play some of these older games. Work At A Pizzeria, will forever be a stable of my childhood.
When you said "sword fighting is dead" i nearly flinched lmaoo. It really is. Im a mobile sword fighter, i usually play on sword fight arena since SFOTHO OG lacks mobile shiftlock, its always the same 30 players. 😢 im not an old player by any means, i joined in 2017 and didnt switch from console to mobile till 2020, and have been sword fighting since then, but its always been steadily losing players over time. Very sad, sword fighting is so fun😊
theres this 19th century team deathmatch about the napoleonic wars called Blood & Iron (2009) which has a very active playerbase at 500 concurrent players and 68M visits, it still works and gets updated very frequently even after 14 years of it existing. its a fun game to play if youre bored
hmmm i think thats the first geography roblox game
Fantastic video Nitrolord, this brought back lots of games I had totally forgotten about! You covered a hefty amount of games in this video, well done!

Hey 2011-2012 base war veteran player here. Can confirm. Especially over the summer. Those severs and chats used to be popping off on roblox, and skype those hot summer days at my pc. Long 10 hour gaming sessions back to back with apocalypse rising
Started playing roblox in 2009 and I recognized almost every game on this video. Such a throwback! I want classic sword fighting games to make a come back.
the early 2010's was such a good era of roblox, 2007-08 might be what many people consider classic but when i played in 2010 the game was completely wild, it had alot more experimental games that pushed roblox very hard, i seen so much crazy stuff and it was happening so fast that before i knew it people where using roblox meshes and mushing them together to make more complex models and it completely changed so many games, it was also the era that introduced many flaws like the 2012 april fools accident and the more obscure 2014-15 c00lkid accident (which was honestly the funniest exploiter raids because they would plaster a red guy everywhere and spam illuminati and mlg particles)
The era gave birth to many overhauls and games that are still praised and remembered to this day, the game did improve more after 2015 but it had a downpour with the community and roblox as the barrier started to raise to where only investors get the treatment we used to.

@CraigBrown-th5kp lmao alr bud 💀 you probably weren't an old player then
@CraigBrown-th5kp Im underage lmao I can't get a job
my jaw genuinely opened in excitement the moment i heard you say “Base Wars”. that game was my CHILDHOOD. i remember wanting to spend every waking moment on the family computer grinding out Base Wars. i even made paper models of the guns in that game. thanks for untapping some near and dear childhood core memories of mine
Man I used to play Base Wars so much back then. For me the most fun part about it was that it never ended. There is no objective, there is no win condition, you would just do better or worse and people would come and go. Sadly when I tried to play it again a few months ago I didn't find it as fun. imo they added too much, what was a simple deathmatch game turned into a weird RPG-FPS hybrid with way too many subclasses. Before it was still somewhat unfair with how the progression system worked but it wasn't as terrible. Old base war was simple and fun, and that's all it needed to be.
I also remember I really enjoyed one update that barely lasted that made it so vehicles would get destroyed piece by piece, so if you shot the tank's cannon it'd stop working. I used to shred air vehicles with the dual chainguns, or snipe off the turrets, good fun. Later they removed this, but made it so you could snipe people off airplanes, I loved doing that.
For some reason they made it so the games end, it doesn't really change anything because it just respawns you on the same map though.
This video gave me such a giant nostalgia trip. There are still I few I wish you mentioned such as the various mini game games, and bomb survival
SurviveTHE Disasters is literally the best game,IM SO HAPPY YOU COVERED IT.
I used to play it my friend for hours on end in like grade 1.... those times were good
the disasters used to be so hard too, like a remember a disaster in which slices of cake spawned and they tried to hunt you down but my friend thought they were friendly and died,and the fact that everyone one used to hide in the shop
as a brickbattler, i do appreciate the inclusion of crossroads (though i prefer the tob version) as it is my favorite brickbattle game after brickbattle frenzy and chaos canyon (two amazing brickbattle games which get little to no players).

I think the only way to make the old games truly fun is to play the games in an accurate way to how they were. For example playing the games on Super Nostalgia Zone or using a third party revival
I just want to say your videos have been fantastic lately and I think you'll definitely reach higher levels such as toastedcherries if you keep at it! I've recently gotten back into creating Roblox content and I love talking about Roblox whether it would be on the nostalgia side or what's currently on the platform. I feel like you resonate with me a lot since you talk about classic roblox and I hear that you used to be a Geometry Dash obsessor and a fan of the Papa Louie flash games. You should definitely hit me up some time as a fellow Roblox nostalgia enjoyer! :D

And natural disaster can be pretty fun when people pay for multiple disasters I still play this game to this day and it's still pretty fun the apple and the balloon kind of make it pay to win even though it's not that much and the compass is just nice to have to go to your favorite map even though a lot of players who play it now are either new players or small children but it can still be fun
With old Roblox, it was common running into administrators and playing with them. I had a ton of famous people and admins add me but because of the 2015 friends update, they just follow me now
the followers update was the most stupid and useless shit they ever decided to add, now i have no clue who all my old friends were since their all sitting in my followers list which i'll never look at
There is no way galleons still exist. I have been trying to find it for so f*^%*cking long!!! It does not appear at all no matter how much i try to search up pirate ship games but i was sure it would’ve been removed!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Me and my brother used to play catolog heaven ALL the time and even though it isnt top played or most liked we still enjoy it. Even other games on this list like crossroads or doomspire brickbattle are fun to play even though its not popular. Proves how much roblox made it fun back then. Great video Nitro!
In my opinion, the Post-Classic Era was definitely the most enjoyable part of roblox history-atleast for me, that's where I made my best memories, and most classic roblox games were still functional and populated. The game just felt a lot more alive than and a lot less corporate every ever since they added dexex. Games aren't really made for fun anymore, at least most games. Also, I find all the "modern memeyness" and "cursedness" of modern roblox has lost most of it's charm by now for me. I rarely ever play roblox and for me any new games are only played for like 30 minutes. Though I have gone back to some old functional games and played them for hours with some buddies. I am not really like most "classic" elitists and, personally, I feel like 2017 was around when roblox really started to go downhill rapidly for me.
For some reason you sound like konekokitten idk if I was the only one
konekokitten in an alternative universe
I hate the fact that new players don't even know about old games they're just playing their brainrot games
i joined 2010 as a guest, 11 as a user. hole in the wall was the first game i ever played because i saw it on tv. & jet wars were some of my fav games. i miss old roblox and the comm.
12:46 old checkpoint racing was goated. your points saved, there were a whole lot more cars and maps, and best of all, you could customize your car with individual part colors and custom decals. there were entire communities dedicated to making decals specific for the cars in the game
And it was the only good driving game with proper moblie support, if limited
ah yes commit warcrimes
Jesus loves you all forever, and he is King!! God bless you all, and have a blessed day!!! You are loved, and you are worth it!!🙏❤️ God woke y'all up for an amazing reason!!
AMEN!!
Honestly, I think the actual reason people like old roblox isn't because of nostalgia, but the simplicity of the games and the style.
There were less items to wear, more basic games with creative ideas and concepts, basically more things to do, customization of profile and etc.
i LOVE survive the disasters 2. I spent pretty a few months pretty much only playing it straight, and got really good at pacifist mode, and i actually got on the leaderboard for the highest pacifist streaks at the time, and my highest was 138. I was really proud of this moment, however after playing all the disasters many times and the game slowly dying more and more, i lost interest and eventually stopped playing. i still come back occasionally but i will always love it because man grinding that game out was so fun and i met some cool people there as well.
11:40 I just wanna say Urban Patrol was an honestly awesome and underrated game that I'm really sad he privated. There was nothing like taking a building and turning it into a fortress before fighting off countless attempts to take it as the building and the structures you built in and around are destroyed by enemy tank and artillery fire, eventually devolving into a brutal close quarters gun fight in the ruins as the enemy vehicles and your emplacements are destroyed and there's nothing to fight with but what you have on your back.
I USE TO PLAY CHECKPOINT RACING A LOT!!!!!!! I WASNT EXSPECTING THIS TO BE ON THE LIST
This was such a nostalgic video to watch. Some of the old games really ARE gems and still fun today. Some of my notable favourites were places like the “Iron Cafe” by IronInforcer and the Make a cake one you mentioned. Along with the classic “Ride a Nyan cat down a rainbow” by CrazyMcBloxx or “Hide and seek” by Lando46000.
Its insane to me that the OFFICIAL roblox channel had that EXTREMELY low quality and not even to mention low FPS game trailer. Like you see the old framerate videos for nostalgia and creepypasta videos of what old roblox was like but unironically seeing that is crazy.
5:13
"screw gravity" -nitrolord (and saxton hale from team fortress 2) 2 seconds before flying to the stratosphere and going out of orbit, dying in space
The game i played was called Whatever Floats your Boat and is still popular. (Im not talking about Build a Boat for Treature)
Swashbucklers n' bilge rats feels like Galleons but better, check it out!
I actually own the vip shirt…..I remember buying it a long time ago not knowing what it did
Sad Thing is that most old roblox games are actually broken and there is a rare chance that the game breaks
SURVIVE THE DISASTERS IS SO GOOD!
Personally I don’t play the original anymore as I play 2 instead, I also got the 100 streak badge and when I got around the 80 mark, the people in the server I was in were cheering me on
how come u barely have any subs! ur da best!!!!
