great vid

Death Run found dead on the side of the road

kinda disappointed there weren't that many classic games in the Roblox classic event instead of the * skibidi toilet tower defense created in 2023 *

Heyo! I'm one of the co-leads for Cakebomb Studios (aka, the people that work on Make a Cake), I just wanted to clarify that we maintain the original version (Make a Cake and Feed the Giant Noob) to keep it functioning. We don't intend to change it because we want to keep it feeling the same way it did back then! The current version is where we can make most of our big updates, AND we maintain a 2016 version of the sequel as well (originally called Make a Cake: Back for Seconds)! (if we wanted to be exact, there have been 3 games in the series: classic [2010], back for seconds [2016], and make a cake [2021]) Speaking as a member of the roblox community, I think that you did a good job exploring these older games on the platform and analyzing the impact of them! Great video, honestly :)

It's truly sad what happened to Stop It Slender, it was such a fun game and I had so many memories with it.

I think people often forget that Meepcity can be considered "Classic" to some people. It's so sad what had to happen to it. The game has such a bad playerbase and reputation to the point where it can't even be brought back. Even ROBLOX dislikes the game, they removed alexnewtron from their official game a couple months ago.. R.I.P Old Meepcity

List of classic games you forgot to include: Murder Mystery 2 Natural Disaster Survival Hide and seek extreme Lumber Tycoon 2 Prison Life 2 Assassin Elemental Battlegrounds Roblox high school 2 Vehicle simulator Freeze tag Ice breaker Dodgeball Silent Assassin Be a parkour ninja Survive the killers at area 51 Bloxhunt There are probably many more but this is all I can think of

Well, looks like it's time to throw my hat in the ring. I am the Community Manager of Cakebomb Studios, and I just want to add onto what my colleague, Devi, said. As I am not a game developer, (I have no interest in coding,) I instead spend a lot of my time theorizing about *game design*, what makes _Make a Cake_ unique, how to best help returning players, and how to expand on the "vibe" that _Make a Cake_ provides. I agree with EVERY point you made in the video, and I am extremely glad that people outside of our little circle are able to pick up on these things. It's rare that someone outside knows a lot about the game. And that's where you come in. As we are Cakebomb Employees, we have a lot of knowledge about the game that we'd like to share, things like Easter Eggs, hidden features, and the 2016 version of the game that you didn't cover in this video. We also have admin powers and can mess with the game a bit; give tools, money, teleport, etc. So, Ben has an offer for you: if you come into the Cakebomb Discord, we'd be down to let you give us a little "interview" of sorts while we give you a proper tour of the factory. We LOVE talking about stuff like this, and if you ever want more content, an exclusive interview with the Make a Cake staff team could easily get you some views! And if not, we'd still love to talk to you anyway! Me and Devi showed Ben the video and he loved it, he felt very humbled and was honored to be put alongside the greats!

NAH THIS BROUGHT BACK SO MANY MEMORIES. I used to rage quit at Flood Escape 2 and cry in the bathroom for hours cuz of it. Ngl I used to rp in those obby games like escape granny or smthg. In Meep City I wouldnt tho, I just fished the whole time to try to get money and customize my house. Oh and the cake game was my first roblox game haha. TLDR: The younger version of me was wildin

Another game that I think deserved attention was “plaza” for a time that the game was a front page game and tons of people where playing, the game faded away. The developer is working on a plaza 2 but doesn’t seem to be much going on

I remember Ripull mini games, good memories on my Xbox

I remember a few old games like Survive the disaster, Top Heaven Runaway, Roblox High School and Catalog Heaven. I’d really love to see what happened to them

Bro you just made me remember a old game it was called “in plain sight “ it was so fun to play back in the day

I remember a game called the Plaza and Roblox Waterpark. Those were the first games I played way back in 2012, those were a peak of entertainment when I started it throughout middle school.

A couple games I remember playing back then that wasn’t on the list: Deathrun Natural disasters survival Hole in the wall The mad murderer Mad paintball Dodgeball

God I miss vampire hunters 2 so much. If only Zac actually updated it so it would just. Work.

Hey there! I'm the current co-owner of Garbage Roblox Games Wiki (the wiki that you showed at 7:06)! Was quite surprised to see it and chuckled at the sight of it. Even though the articles on that wiki are old and now outdated, it's nice to see people still visiting those articles and giving them a genuine read! Interesting video, by the way. :P

As a flood escape 2 fan who played roblox around the time it came out. This was one of my favorite games ever and still is I know that crazyblox stopped for a while since he had collage but I'm glad he continued to do fe2 and bring on a new look, just coding was probably hard and also trying to keep up. P.S. Nice video!

It's wild to think that in Dec 2020, I found Flood Escape 2 and not any time before then. That game was so popular I don't know why I never decided to play it. It is also crazy to think that I am helping on developing the next game in the Flood Escape series now. (Flood Escape: Hybrid)

joined in 2011, experienced a lot of different roblox eras and this video brought me back to those times, thanks :)

I remember playing survive the disasters for hours as a guest back in 2014 and 2015, good times

It saddens me that stop it slender has died like ages ago, i remember having so much fun playing it with my cousins, screaming, laughing and watching denis daily videos

a game that gives me a lot of nostalgia is Theme Park Tycoon 2. back when guest were still around, i would log on to the game as one and play it for hours. it was the first game i played on roblox.

One of my favorite games, Pinewood Computer Core, was created in 2011 and still has around 200 people online at any given time with frequent updates. It's really cool playing games that have stood the test of time.

i LOVE youtube vids like this which highlight “old” Roblox games from the 2010s because that’s when I joined! Great video!! :D

Classics like MM2, disaster survival, pizza place, and phantom forces are still doing pretty solid

make a cake was originally called make a cake: back for seconds! but unfortunately changed names to a more simple and dumbed down feeling one. Like I guess since it's the one being updated it doesn't need the sequel branding but still a little sad I feel. It's also still a bit classic, just late late era classic, when monetization begun classic, edge between classic and modern kind of game. IT IS STILL GREAT! And they stay true to what classic games were in this. also, it came before the two examples you used of what it could be taking inspiration from. Long before! but this was a real good video.

I love this video! I sometimes return to some of the games you mentioned in this video. As a prominent member of the FE2 community since 2017 and a discord server moderator for it as well, I find it to be the most influential in my life considering how much the community helped shape me into in the kind of person I am today. I’m glad this popped up in my recommended today, and it’s well edited and paced. Thank you for the nostalgia and memories.

make a part 2 of this video with the missing games (se examples could be survive and kill the killers in area 51, roblox deathrun, horror/normal/any OG elevator game, maybe freeze tag, etc)

Was super interesting to look through all the older games great video man 👍

Awesome vid and great time to release it since Roblox’s Classic event is right around the corner. I think your gameplay and review suffices enough for information. It was super entertaining and calming. Seeing all of the stock photo edits was distracting. I remember heavily gaming on FEscape and Pizza Place was my first Roblox game ever. I don’t play those two anymore but am still quite active since Roblox is timeless for me.

A very needed nostalgia trip for me. Thank you for this :D

Dude you’re extrememly underrated for this level of quality in video production, I hope you grow fast!!

Amazing video mate! You summed up the state of fe2 perfectly! I am an avid fe2 player and I used to play the original aswell.

I miss when Flee the Facility only had 3 maps. I remember playing it with my brother and our best friends/neighbors playing together ❤

13:06 Wild Savannah mentioned. Also, I have the Abandoned Facility skin in Flood Escape 2! (The skin with the really cool looking helmet.)

Very interesting video, Really well thought out and I enjoyed it :)

Even tho i didnt watched the video just yet, am liking and subscribing cuz someone FINALLY made intersting video on interesting topic C:

You're real for putting in Stop It Slender, that was really good for a game. Loved it.

should def to do a sequel on this vid if you want to cuz there are so many other classics to be talked about. Murder Mystery 2, Phantom Forces, Survive the Disaster, The Normal Elevator, etc.

THIS BROUGHT(😓😭) BACK SO MANY MEMORIES, I miss when these games were very popular😭😭

I played Flood Escape 2 since 2018-2019 and I'm still playing it. It's a childhood memory for me and I built up a pretty solid career for it and I wont forget it. I love it

even Tho I joined Roblox in 2018 I watched a lot of old KZfaqrs like the pals the Krew the crew Dantdm etc. I really enjoyed watching them play these games (I even played some of them and had fun in 2018-2019, sometimes I wondered if I had actually been playing old Roblox would I enjoy it as much as you guys did, 2018 was 5-6 years-Ish ago and it's nostalgic to me.

So the roblox classic event didn’t include actual CLASSIC games…..bruh

awesome vid keep it up man

OMG THIS BROUGHT BACK SO MUCH NOSTALGIA THIS MADE ME CRY OF HOW GOOD MEMORIES I MADE FROM THESE GAMES

This was a great video!

Great video!

This video brought back so much memories for me. I have this one distinct memory that i have never forgotten, and i remember playing meepcity in like 2016 as a guest sitting in the cafe talking to another guest using the custom overhead tags because guests couldnt chat. I dont know why i remember that specific moment so well, but im happy that i havent forgotten.

Oh damn, just realizing that i haven't seriously played these games for such a long time is crazy. I will never forget that i literally joined roblox in 2017 just because of a PVZ game that used to be quite popular at the time.

Pokemon brick bronze will be forever cherished in the very bottom of my heart.

Surprised you didn’t speak on Bloxburg it also being a released in 2014, gaining traction in 2016 game. The best building game in the platform and the most popular payed game ever made.

Hello there! Great video. I saw you on my FYP and instantly clicked. MeepCity and Epic Minigames were definitely some of the most classic games on the platform and I enjoyed them a lot. Epic Minigames is still pretty enjoyable and fun, but it's just sad to see what MeepCity has become today. Anyways, nice job and I hope you make it big one day!

if you ever make a sequel, id love you to cover block hunt! it was one of my favourite roblox games back in 2017 when i first started playing! its kinda dying now but there are still fairly consistent updates and it will always hold a special place in my heart

Used to play all of these, but forgot about a lot until this video. Ty for giving these memories back to me. Truly classics. Flood escape was especially my favourite tho. I used to play the first one all the time, and then the second one too. I remember I was arguing with some 8 yr old (tbf, i was 8 too) and we were both calling each other bad cause one of us finished first. Then we became friends for some reason??? Played a lot of games together after that but then I ended it for some stupid reason. Still regret that. Good times tho

cool vid keep the good work

I played stop it slender constantly as a guest back in 2015, that game was so fun man

13:30 not to mention crazyblox is making a 3rd game called Flood Escape Hybrid

great vid, i want to try some of these

Man, seeing some OG Flood Escape brought me back. I sucked at that game back then, but i remember buying the Sword pass. If you ever do cover some more old games, I'd recommend either the Stalker games (Clonetrooper1019/Maximum_ADHD) or Amazeman's games, like Titanic or Survive The End Of Roblox. (The latter is broken and a working revival is currently maintained by KadenZombie8)

A few classic games for me were either survive the disastors and Vampire Hunters 2, just thinking about the fun times really brings a smile, maybe in another life we all will get to experience that all over again.

It's a crime there isn't a Sword Fight on the Heights event or a Survive the Disasters (or that one where you fall down stairs for points)

One of my old favourite games was Dragon Rage. Just checked and it’s only got one active player! It’s sad to see old games just completely die, even newer games like Flora Frenzy or Shard Seekers that’ve pretty much just gone.

Great vid! I remember playing a couple of these games when I first joined Roblox in 2017. I only have one question...where is my man, the GOAT Natural Disaster Survival? It's one of the oldest games compared to the games you mentioned, created in 2008--though that's when the place itself was created, not necessarily the game. It's barely changed over the years, and the few changes are UI and a couple new maps here & there...and a virus disaster I guess lol. It was one of the very first Roblox games I ever played & gives me EXTREME nostalgia. Also the game still gets very good player counts, ranging from the 1000s-low 20000s most of the time

For me the games I get most nostalgic about are, Work at the pizza place, Welcome to the town of Robloxia, Hunters Life, The Underground war and Build to Survive the Zombies. That was peak roblox for me

I still remember when i played “the plaza” as a guest and when im soo confused on how to create an account then created my first account when the guest were removed… i still play the plaza whenever i wanna explore the map that my guest account went

I watched this entire video and it brought back a lot of memories. I didn't even know I could get nostalgic over ROBLOX like that.

I still remember the days in 2018-2019 when I played with my friends in Flood Escape 2. Back then I was just an iPad kid so I wasn’t exactly good. I could barely beat insane maps back then and definitely not the 3 hardest ones. Then a year ago I returned and overcame the 3 last insane maps and even beat some crazy maps starting with Blue moon and Poisonous chasm. And now my third time returning, I have every crazy other than 1 (Active Volcanic Mines is HARRRRRRRRRRD) and I’m hoping to beat it in the next few weeks. I also wanna try out the crazy+ difficulty maps and see where the current difficulty ceiling is roughly at. This game is so nostalgic and I can go on and on. One thing that does make someone impressed though, is the progression of difficulty from Dark Sci Facility (Insane 4.8) back in my day to Blue Moon (Crazy 5.4) in 2019 to Sandswept Ruins (Crazy 5.6) in 2022 to Active Volcanic Mines (Crazy 5.9) in 2023 to the Crazy+ maps (6 and above) we have today. Guess the shock of coming back to a game I haven’t touched in half a decade and then still enjoying it like something new hits very hard. Glad I found this video!

i LOVE flood escape 2, even if its a small, slowly lowering, community, i still love it amazing video brobro

Flood Escape 2 is still holding up surprisingly well all things considered. Great, devoted map creators and an ambitious community with plenty of love from Crazyblox. They introduced a performance update recently and I can confidently say it has made the game 2x more enjoyable.

I've found myself looking at "new games" that when i started playing, were on their peak, and now are considered classics. I feel old.

I forgot about stop it slender, it's nostalgic for me mainly because I used to play it quite a lot with old friends of mine!

This is a rlly good vid the meep city music rlly took me back

Love the video! The music caught my attention!

Good luck on the content making Chappy, if you feel like the algorithm is taunting you too much you’re not obligated to upload videos each week if you find a way to balance that, that’s great, good luck with your new form of content 🙏

oh my gosh stop it slender was my game!! i used to play it all the time after school with friends. i miss those days sadly the game bugs out too often now i really miss it :(

The Stalker Reborn will be always my childhood roblox game

i love make a cake so much! ive played since the classic one was the main one, its such an easy to understand and fun game with a lot of charm! i think stuff in the modern game like levels and quests adds more engagement so i think it definitely improved in that aspect ^^

I love work at a pizza place, I played it for a bit when I was younger and I always loved being the delivery driver to was so fun :]

You should talk about undead nation! Loved that game as a kid growing up.

the choice of music hit me like a rock and came out of nowhere. I would get chills just hearing the flood escape song. P.S- Please make a part 2

Man, I've played and had memories from all the games you mentioned. Fun fact: Make a Cake, used to actually have a long name like it's predecessor. It used to be named Make a Cake: Back For Seconds

i love this vid, just one question... not too sure if u have heard of the game 'the doom wall' in roblox but it was quite og and so fun back then. i rmb they had a voltron collab event held in it! but if u were to play it now, it doesnt work anymore :( there's also the halloween and christmas roblox game i forgot the names of it but the halloween game makes u go trick or treating for items, so does the christmas game! those games r only available to play during the month of the holiday itself! i miss the christmas one so much, the tasks are so fun to do tbh

Flood Escape 2 is one of if not the best platforming games on roblox to this day.

hey! so uh, i think my perspective is interesting on things, as i grew up in an era of roblox between the older and the newer times(2012-2018ish) and still play certain games now, so i got a decent bit of both older style AND newer games i know. I’m surprised you didn’t go over some of the *really* older games, ones that were.. fairly enough, maybe not ones you grew up with if your list consists of mostly 2015-2020ish picks with only popular ones from 2009 making it into there, but i remember playing two games in particular as a kid: Hide and Seek (by lando64000) and Build to Survive the Zombies (by DANGERTIM112). These two in particular had a very nice gameplay loop that i really enjoyed and was simple enough for me yo really enjoy as a kid and they went on to inspire similar kinds of games in the upcoming years. I THINK the zombie one just, doesn’t work anymore. But the classic Hide and Seek apparently still works great(if you can get enough people to play) and has a lot of classic Roblox feel to it since it was released VERY early in roblox’s history (2009) it’s it’s AMAZING that even though it doesn’t really get visitors anymore, that such a piece of history STILL WORKS. even if you don’t want to play hide and seek it’s worth it i think just to play for sake of looking at all the classic maps. This one is more vauge, but I also really remember playing a LOT of roleplaying animal games as a kid. Usually about wolves or cats, or even family roleplay with a cat or dog morph, but the morphs were *very* rudimentary, made mostly of very basic spheres and ovals, and our only ‘weapon’ was the basic wolverine claws from the gear tab in the roblox store. Nowadays, you have more complex ones(that i’ve also played) both in the realm of competition/realism like the ‘Yellowstone Unleashed’ by Vorcloe game, in addition to leaps and bounds of progress in general animal roleplaying with games like ‘Wolves Life Dawn Beta’ by Shyfoox Studios which even for a WIP game, is night and day compared to our older games, which were less technically impressive but had a sense of nostalgia to them. I feel like it’s important also to mention games like ‘Survive the Disasters(Classic)’ by VyrissDev and ‘Survive the Natural Disasters’ by Stickmasterluke, as these were both made in 2009/2008 respectively and they(atleast in the latters case idk about the other one) holds up REALLY WELL and like Hide and Seek, keeps a lot of its original flavor of maps from back in the day except it keeps people on with implementing newer things. The ‘Work at a Pizza Place’ and ‘Make a Cake and Feed it to a Giant Noob’ games also hit that same chord of nostalgia to me as i still play the pizza game to this day. Honestly, along with talking about how obbys and cart ride games and tycoons have persisted as some of the most long time content of roblox and how interesting it was to see the ways in which to mix evolved as a whole (something like more complex scripting like in the newer games seemed INSANE, especially since most of the people who made classic roblox games were also kids/younger teenagers), i could go on practically forever. And i’m not some old person who’s even going to say ALL our old games were better, as i think so many newer roblox games are interesting and nice too! mind you, they may not all be for me, but i still deeply appreciate even games like Adopt Me(by Uplift Games) as much as i’m.. a BIT distasteful for how heavily it leans on its basically loot box mechanic(though i really do like the pets, it’s a nice repetitive gameplay loop of taking care of them i enjoy as an autistic person), or Regretevator(by The Axolotl Sun) for taking formats like the ‘make a family’ and the ‘normal elevator’ games and doing more with them.

Very nice video! Some games like Work at a pizza place, Speedrun 4, Epic minigames and Flood escape hold up pretty well! Here are some nostalgic Roblox games in my opinion: Natural Disasters Survival, Shark Bite, Scuba Diving at Quill Lake, Clone Tycoon 2 and Hide and seek extreme!

A game I really remember from Roblox was Dragon Riders (I think that was the name) it was so popular but nowadays not even 10 people will play at a time it’s so sad :(

In mentioning flood escape and flood escape 2 with the lava, I think it’s important to note that flood escape had a very sad period where a copy of the game reached the front page called escape the rising lava, or something along the lines, which got popular right when floor is lava trends came around. The flood escape creator tried to get it taken down, but it wasn’t for a long time. The fane even at one point claimed to be approved by the creator of flood escape. How true this is, I don’t know. But I do know the lava modes in flood escape 2 seem to be inspired by that game’s popularity.

i remember when it was called "make a cake: back for seconds" and my 8 year old self thought that meant it was only going to be playable for a few seconds

Death run & flood escape are still playable and let me tell you they are still fun to play.

As someone who started playing as kid as a Guest late 2013/ made an account in late 2014, it's crazy to hear that era be referred to as "the 2010s"

Please make a sequel including the Vampire Hunter games! That used to be so fun

Kinda sad almost literally no one remembers Base Wars the Land: 2009 , it's one of the most og classic roblox games that are still getting updated to this day.

I started Roblox in 2015 and remember how people used to talk about the "good old days" like the 2000's Roblox and such. It's a such an odd feeling now seeing people talk about the same era you grow up on now being referred to as nostalgic.

Idk if this could be considered classic but I used to love playing robloxian city, seems like updates are still relatively recent but there’s rarely anyone online anymore

dude how does this dude have less than 2k subscribers?? I literally cannot believe that he doesnt have more!!

Omg I used to play all of these games back in 2017 , brings back memories :D

Im not sure if this was a big game back then, but there was an RPG kind of game called Monster Islands back then that has since been next to abandoned; all events active, next to no players, but still very functional and still has the beauty it had back then.

As a person who actively contributes to Flood Escape 2 in its music, I hope Flood Escape, both games, eventually receive the recognition they deserve again. Personally, 1,000 players on FE2 average isn't enough for a game this grand. This was a good video. I found it because, of course, Flood Escape being mentioned. You seem like a good content creator.

Armored Patrol went through a lot of drama with the exposé of APH but still gets 120+ players. And Base Wars is still kicking too
