  • Today Rye Games once again, dives into the dead game genre. After vetting a lot of games, there were 6 great ones remaining - which are all in this video. From 5, to 25 years old, these games all slowly lost their audience over the years but the core features are almost entirely the same.

      I wonder, though, if those memorials are intended to honour actual deaths or players who permanently left and therefore "died" for the community. Also some of those dates make little sense, unless that game was routinely played by seventy-year-olds in the nineties.

    The reason you weren't able to turn around using mouse is some weird glitch that is present in a lot of old valve games.

    I find it fascinating to go back to old games, posts or even forums that are 20-25 years old, just to see and read what people wrote or did. Its a bit like stumbling on a ghost town and going into people's abandoned houses. I suppose its because of a sense of nostalgia, it reminds me of back in the days when I'd look up any info on the hoaxes of Zelda Ocarina of Time, trying to find places I didn't knew or getting answers for details I noticed and couldn't explain.
    I have to say that the stumbling on graveyards and memorial on Active Worlds was something, it almost got an eerie feel to it, we get to see players who were loved and are gone memorialized there.

    Growing up in a small town in Kyrgyzstan, I used to go to internet cafes as a kid and was spending hours and hours in the early 2000s just watching other people playing the games (Counter-Strike, GTA Vice City, Need For Speed, Sims, Call of Duty etc....). I remember when I saved up from my pocket money just enough to pay for an hour in that internet cafe, it was a truly remarkable experience that I'll never forget! It really amazes me that such old games still have few people playing them after so many years... Later on, I did not have the best PC, Internet, or a wide variety of games. I remember when I started playing Counter-Strike 1.5 & 1.6 Online for the first time and discovered one server from the neighboring country: Kazakhstan and on that server were mostly the same people playing every night. Everybody knew each other and we became a short community and it was a great fun time until the server was shut down... Almost 15 years later, I still remember the nicknames of those guys & girls... Ehhh what a times, what a times. Thanks for your flashback video!

      Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
      And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
      Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
      Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
      The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
      And on the pedestal, these words appear:
      My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
      Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
      Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
      Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
      The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

    Interesting fact about Cuisine Royal is that it is actually made by the developers of Enlisted (Darkflow Software) and started its life as an April Fools joke beta test to test out the Enlisted engine back when the game was still in development. The idea proved popular and it eventually turned into a standalone game and the money made from it was also used to fund Enlisted's development. Enlisted itself is a free to play fps WW2 shooter where the player commands an entire squad rather than one soldier. And it's also a game I've been hopelessly addicted too for a few years now. It's also nowhere near as pay to win as Cuisine so maybe the entire idea behind Cuisine was to just make as much money as possible for the development of Enlisted which was actually something I heard rumored in the past.
    I never played Cuisine Royal but it's really interesting to see just how similar the two games are or at least were as Enlisted has changed a lot since it's initial release. Yet many things still remain the same in other regards.

      I actually played active worlds when I was a kid using our dialup internet. It took a long time for the world's to load in and basically all of the player avatars were restricted behind paywalls. There was some way to load up worlds you'd previously visited in an offline mode and you could use any avatar you wanted without paying. I used to download some worlds and then switch to the seagull avatar and you could actually free fly while using it, was pretty cool.

It was literally an RTS and FPS combined and it worked so well, a genre many still wish for to this day... Each commander has a tech tree they can research, and it completely changes every match. Sometimes artillery is rushed and it just turns into mad artillery spam. And other times they have like nuke ammo tech, and the tanks just go crazy. It was such a good hectic game back in the day, and tbh still is.
