The 30 best old Roblox games: plunge into the pleasant past

Roblox was launched in 2006 and, over 18 years, has become one of the most popular gaming platforms. It attracted players with the ability to create their own projects, which gifted the world with numerous masterpieces. Let's dive into the past and recall what was the first game on Roblox, as well as other successful old titles that became legends of the platform.

Roblox Museum

A virtual museum featuring carefully recreated scenes, items, and builds from the golden age of Roblox—from 2006 to 2011. The atmosphere is filled with nostalgia, and each room brings memories of past times to life: whether it's the 2007 Roblox headquarters, the flaming swords from Sword Fight on the Heights, or iconic objects from Crossroads.

Despite the fact that more than 15 years have passed since its release, the Museum continues to thrive and be updated. The developer adds new exhibits and details while maintaining the spirit of the platform as it was in its early days. The museum has become a place where players can not only reminisce but also explore the evolution of the platform—from primitive models and textures to ambitious projects.

Classic Dodge the Teapots of Doom

A fun and crazy game with no complicated plot or mechanics—just you, the platform, and hordes of angry teapots flying at you from every direction! Every match turns into a survival dance: running, jumping, dodging, sudden turns—all accompanied by the deafening crash of falling dishes. The difficulty quickly escalates, and the teapots begin to attack with incredible speed and accuracy.

Made it to the end? Great! You’ll reach the "safe" zone high above the arena. But don’t relax! At the highest levels, even there, treacherous objects might come flying your way.

Notably, this game was one of the first on Roblox to use custom meshes, specifically the teapot model based on the famous Utah Teapot—a classic 3D object known to anyone who’s ever worked with graphics. This innovation not only made the game visually memorable but also a true technical breakthrough for its time.

Mega Fun Obby

Since its release in 2009, this game has continued to amaze and grow, turning into a giant marathon with more than 2800 levels! Each level presents a unique challenge requiring precision, agility, and patience from players. Bright colors, diverse obstacles, and smooth gameplay make it engaging for both beginners and experienced players.

A huge plus for Mega Fun Obby is its well-thought-out checkpoint system: you don’t need to start from scratch if you make a mistake—just return to the last checkpoint and try again. But that’s not all! The game features helpful boosters—like gravity coils and speed boosts—to help you navigate particularly tricky sections.

Wingz World V

This isn’t just a flight simulator; it’s a whole universe where anyone can feel like a pilot and explorer. Here, you control everything—from the lightest ultralight planes to powerful jet giants, not forgetting helicopters, airships, and even boats! The game world is an archipelago of picturesque islands separated by vast oceans.

The fifth installment in the series brought more freedom: you can now trade, search for rare crates, and even create your own airline! However, in 2014, a dramatic twist occurred—a system failure wiped the database, causing saves to stop working, and the game was soon abandoned. Nevertheless, Wingz World V inspired a new generation of developers, becoming the inspiration for projects like Aeronautica—a modern remake with ongoing updates.

Roblox Jr High School – Happy Halloween

Image: roblox.com

A game that became one of the most popular school-themed RPGs of its time, as evidenced by its massive number of visits and nearly 200,000 favorites. It allowed players to take on various roles—from 7th or 8th graders to the principal, a football player, cheerleader, or even a McDonald's employee. Special attention was drawn to the Happy Halloween themed version, which brought a festive atmosphere to the game with appropriate decorations and quests.

Unfortunately, in 2013, the game was taken down for moderation, and later, the account jjsword was banned, which led to the permanent closure of the project.

Zeppelin Battle

This project immersed players in an epic showdown between the Pirates and Patrol teams, unfolding in the skies among massive airships, thundering artillery, and roaring planes. Depending on the mode, players had to either destroy the enemy flagship in Classic, or defend or assault a moving airship in Raid before it reached the enemy harbor.

By choosing one of the roles—Pilot or Crew—players could either take to the skies in fighters, torpedo bombers, and bombers to carry out air raids, or fight to keep their ship alive from within, defusing mines and fending off boarders. The massive airships weren’t just targets—they were flying fortresses equipped with cannons, turrets, and hangars for planes.

Though the game stopped receiving updates in 2018, its spirit endured: in 2020, Zeppelin Wars was released—a modern remake inspired by the original, where the classic experience was reborn with enhanced graphics and expanded features.

Iron Cafe

The project began as a simple hangout spot but gradually evolved into a stylish club with a dance floor, VIP area, and a basement bar. Players visited it to socialize, party, and enjoy a relaxed, atmospheric vibe.

Despite its popularity, Iron Cafe was repeatedly taken down due to violations related to online dating, which goes against the platform’s rules. However, the creator actively fought against such behavior. In 2013, the project was relaunched, but it was later restored to its classic form.

Interestingly, in 2023, the café resurfaced in popularity thanks to a teleport link in Speed Run 12, but the success was short-lived—the portal was replaced, and many users moved on.

Galleons

A naval PvP game where two teams clash in spectacular battles, commanding majestic sailing ships armed with heavy artillery. The goal is simple yet thrilling: sink the enemy vessel using precision, strategy, and solid teamwork. Each round lasts 25 minutes, during which players earn points by bombarding opponents or discovering hidden treasures, which can then be exchanged for powerful gear and cosmetic items.

The game’s standout feature is its captaincy system: you can lead a crew, take the helm, steer the ship, and even stage a mutiny if the captain proves to be a weak link. The ship physics are impressive—when a vessel takes damage, it doesn’t just disappear. It sinks gradually: sails collapse, cannons fall silent, and the whole scene turns into a dramatic shipwreck spectacle.

Despite technical hiccups and development pauses, Galleons remains available and continues to attract players longing for the adventurous spirit and unique atmosphere of early Roblox.

Yorick’s Resting Place

A mysterious world that was originally part of a Halloween event and offered a one-of-a-kind adventure full of secrets and puzzles. Players had to solve a series of clever riddles to earn a rare prize—the Riddling Skull hat. Later, the game was recreated by the user Reverse_Polarity, who preserved the magic and darkness of the original. Today, it remains accessible on the developer’s page, continuing to attract players seeking a true sense of nostalgia.

Yorick’s Resting Place immerses you in darkness and mystery. You’ll encounter shadowy forests, sinister mountains, an ancient graveyard, a poisonous river, and a mysterious mansion filled with secrets. Players face four devious puzzles, the answers to which lead to a valuable final reward. Every corner of the mansion hides clues, while eerie sounds—like a ringing telephone—intensify the atmosphere of suspense and enigma.

Although the original version of the game was shut down, its spirit lives on in this faithful remake, which can still be played today—offering a taste of the old Roblox.

Zombie Rush!

An intense PvE shooter where players battle wave after wave of zombies, earning experience and unlocking powerful new weapons. One of the game’s unique features is the ability to become a zombie after death and hunt down the remaining survivors. Since its release, the game has earned over 1.2 million likes, becoming one of Roblox’s most popular and beloved titles.

The game features a wide variety of maps—from dark forests to futuristic space stations—and different zombie types, ranging from regular ones to rare Amethyst and Phantom zombies. Players can arm themselves with a vast arsenal, from pistols and assault rifles to laser guns and bows. There are also unique items, such as the powerful Ban Hammer and the devastating Nuke Launcher.
