Күн бұрынDid you like this video? NEW POPTROPICA VIDEO: • I played and ranked EV...
I spent the entirety of December playing ALL 51 islands in Poptropica history to rank on a Tier List for you!
A lot of these islands are hard to find these days so this is the perfect video to watch if you’re feeling nostalgic for this browser game from your childhood!
Do the islands hold up as time goes on? Or will the new islands struggle to compete with the early classics?
I'm also extremely curious which island is your favorite? I've seen a crazy amount of different answers, so I wanna see some more!
I really appreciate any support on this video, it took a ton of work. If you liked it PLEASE like the video, it would mean a lot! Let me know what else I should rank.

The intro music was originally this song: • Let's Go Beach
but it was copyrighted... I'm really sad because that's quite possibly the best intro music I've ever heard.

I remember finding a bug that let you use flight outside of superpower island. Some of the items you could get weren’t island specific, and a few of them would teleport you to short challenge levels when used. If you turned flight mode on and used the Dr. Hare themed one, the game wouldn’t properly remove your ability to fly and you could use it in that challenge. Unfortunately, I never found a way to bring it to other islands.

Poptropica is, by far, my FAVORITE online flash game. Logging on and seeing a newly released island, spending hours playing through that and old islands, seeing teasers for new islands, watching Thinknoodles tutorial videos cuz little me was dumb, endlessly customizing my character (Strange Boa!), unlocking secrets, playing games with strangers in the hub areas,,, it's all just so many fond memories. There was just so much love, care, and creativity that went into a fundamentally free online game that I think was/is very rare. Even the lackluster islands had so much effort put into graphics and design. Cryptid, Greek Mythology, and Vampire Island was my SHIT!! My ONLY qualm with the game was the awful chat system- which I get was to protect children playing the game-- but I hated it😂

The weirdest part is that just as I thought earlier this month that maybe I'm finally over with this island, I revisited poptropica and got obsessed again. I can't believe I am still not over Count Bram....Thank you for this video it's literally so nostalgic to revisit. Though the title tbh should be "I played and ranked EVERY Poptropica Island because you can't", because i would totally play this game all over again if I could :')

I remember sitting in the computer room in middle school just playing Mythology, Spy, Skullduggery, Superpower, Time Tangled, and so many more of the earlier islands. I spent hours just playing this game. Thank you for making this video, now I'm gonna go play a computer game that I miss so much.

The moment I saw the words "Astro Knights", a tidal wave of nostaglia and joy emerged in my mind. It's been years since I played that island and watching your summary of it felt as if I was teleported back in time to my own playthrough, like old memories being unlocked. A well-deserved S. I appreciate the trip down memory lane you crafted in this spectacularly dedicated vid, I'm surprised to hear the game is still being updated with new content

Justice for Ghost Story Island. I would play the violin over and over again because I love the song so much, parts of the twist definitely shocked me to my core, and the setting itself is so beautiful. Poptropolis Games is another favorite of mine. I actually loved the challenges and the setting is super cool. The lack of story never bothered me, it was just a fun setting with a clear goal and it's one I would play if I just wanted to play minigames and not worry about running back and forth.
@Brenilla Жыл бұрын
I honestly really enjoyed Ghost Story Island, it was one of the few island’s I completed almost entirely by myself. Way back when I would always go to the island play the violin when I started up the game. Personally I’d say it deserves at least a mid B. I’d probably put it a higher on my own list tho.

Wow nostalgia overload… I was a beta tester for this game many years ago, it only had 3 islands to start with and I remember all the other kids at my school trying to figure certain stuff out like how to knock the shark out or the order you’d need to time travel on that one island. I remember keeping up with it for a year or two but I think the last dialed I recall releasing and playing was the secret agents one.

I kept on being like, “oh I guess that’s when I stopped playing” but then recognized islands way further in then I expected. I started playing this game back when there was only three islands and boy howdey six year old me could barely beat early poptropica. I think that’s why reality TV island is my favorite lol, it was the first REAL island I beat after dozens I could barely get anywhere in (helped that I was several years older at that point) great video!

Survival island’s story reminds me of a story I read where this guy crashes a ship and finds a hunter who’s tired of hunting for animals and finds more entertainment for hunting people. I wonder if that’s the inspiration for that game or just a coincidence honestly wish I could remember the name of the story. also great video I’m glad people are talking about the poptropica again I still occasionally log into my old account from when I was a kid so this was nice to see

I agree with you that it would've been really cool if they made more islands that crossed over with older islands. They could've made a cool, interconnected world with recurring characters and everything. I could even see it almost as a live service game (despite how many failures plague that idea), where each update changes and adds to previous worlds. Like, you defeat a villain on one island, and then later they might be doing something evil on another island you already previously saved, giving them an opportunity to expand on mechanics and characters.

I got excited when I saw Wild Safari Island, because Reality TV Island is my favourite island. Oh how dissappointed I was. It didn't help that you used to be able to go to a lot more places on the islands, but when they were trying to salvage Poptropica to outlive flash, any old islands that remained became a lot smaller. So I used to have a big and fun Reality TV Island, only to get the far smaller and boring Wild Safari Island.

I came to this video looking to see if I could bring back any memories, only to find that the spacefaring adventure I had had was only a tiny fraction of the game. That's right, my intro to the game was Astro Knights, and I thought that was the whole game.

I used to love Poptropica so much!! In elementary, I would go to school early every day just to play it in the computer lab. At the time, I didn't know you could create your own account and save your progress, so I just went as a guest and replayed 24 Carrot a MILLION TIMES until I could practically do it with my eyes closed. I was never able to get all of the way through because I had no idea you could save your progress!! To this day, I still don't need to use the map at all and I have every password memorized. Thanks for putting this together. I watched the whole thing.
