After the Xbox 360 marketplace officially shut down in July of last year, I began collecting games you guys recommended to me as some of the classics from our childhood's. Survival games, 2D Shooters, FPS', Platformers but today we focus on 3 in particular. A battlefield shooter that was forgotten, a pre-cursor for Minecraft, and a game that everybody forgot about...

Don't think I have ever seen you play Wolfenstein Enemy Territory. It is dead but theres a few FA servers that have a dedicated player base 60 or so players. Was my go-to for a long time and over 20 yrs later it's still here.

[@sauwercraud]

you are just 21?? Damn, would not have thought!

[@PhantomDogman]

Ah yes, War Thunder game from your childhood that's dead.

It was very fun showing off my past in the game. It really is a huge part of my childhood and still influences me to this day. Thank you again for this opportunity and hope to see you ingame every now and then :D PLAY FFA

[@DeimosPC]

Manu saying "they come and go, I don't remember their names but they are a part of my childhood memory" really sank in. When I was 5 or 6, my Dad let me play Delta Force 2 on his office PC. I would connect to novalogic every day after school and join the same few servers. I met two guys from America and they invited me to a clan, they were both much older than me.. 14-16 years old but they treated me with respect even though I was a little kid.. I went on to play DF2 with them for 3-4 years and then somehow just lost touch. One of them even taught me how to use Photoshop which I continued to learn for years and years afterwards and it even helped me in my career. I still wonder what happened to them both. I hope they're both doing well in life.

[@manutrollolol]

Sounds like an awesome time. Different games, same experiences. Old small games are great

[@sirpnut]

Liebe Grüße an Manu! It’s so recognizable when a German speaks English, even if as good as he did. Can speak for myself too. Grüße aus Deutschland/ Greetings from Germany.

[@jackbarnes5589]

Battlefield Vietnam was my childhood. Hundreds of hours in it. Glad to see the game is still clinging to life, and that some of the old veterans are still here.

[@DougieBoy]

Sauerbraten's editor is better then 95% of current games with editors. The way you can shape anything is on a whole new level.

[@Night-Rider101]

Than*

[@FootknightProductions]

As one who grew up playing Sauer, being inspired by it and using the editing mode as a powerful creative outlet, I am now working my way into the Game Development industry and really hope to be able to shed some light on the power of Sauer's editor. The ability to edit simultaneously with other players and while interacting with the world directly is still far beyond the capabilities of industry-standard modelling software.

[@edwardkenway148]

Back in 2014-2015 i found Sauerbraten on my Linux laptop, Linux had a sort of store, kind of like google play on android, and i found this game, but i found out that this specific version of the game was an older version, since i didn't know how to install the newer version i was stuck playing this older version. The cool thing is that this version had a very small community, 30-40 players at most, there were a few servers but only 2 were used. One, which was the "main" server, running permanent InstaCTF (a game mode where everyone had 1 hp and sniper rifles and we had to capture flags) and a second server which had an open master, meaning you could join, claim master, then set up any game mode and map you wanted, that server was used for duels, when two players wanted to 1v1 they'd go there and everyone else on the main server would join and spectate them. Good memories.

[@RossC42]

Man, battlefield vietnam was so good. I remember the first time a Cobra flew over my head (as a viet cong) blaring Ride of the Valkyries. Truly terrifying because you knew there were probably missiles heading your way. Flying the cobra was fun too, you could fly solo and swap between the seats, switching back to pilot from the gunner's seat before the chopper crashed.

[@D-Brow]

Cube 2: Sauerbraten is such an underrated game. A true old school arena shooter (FPS) with a pure creation aspect in maybe the most advanced map creation engine out there (still).. The die hard followers are still strong over 15 years later too. The online community, easy to engage gameplay, open source engine, map modes, game type mods, etc. and limitless skill set should put this game in the top 10 all time PC games. I hope more people get a chance to discover this one. It has consumed more of my life than I care to admit lol...

[@manutrollolol]

One leaves Sauer, but Sauer doesnt leave you. :D

[@DeimosPC]

BF: Vietnam was one of those games where you would cry with laughter. There was nothing more fun than you and your bro on a scooter driving away from a helicopter dropping napalm behind you whilst playing bird is the word on their speaker system lol.

[@andresmar2000]

These videos give me such a nostalgic feel, I love them.. Makes me remember the fun gaming times that got me so attached to this hobby, when people would just enjoy the games fur fun, online gaming used to have lots of social interaction, you used to meet people, some guys became legends, people enjoyed making stuff, literally games like Sauerbraten used to have people making their own fun, nowadays online gaming tends to focus on who's better, who's got more rank, points or whatever. Great content man, I absolutely love to see that passionate gamers still hold on to their childhood games, I believe they might be attached not only to the game itself, but to the classic feeling of just playing for fun.

[@ephix238]

1:39 LOL i am in that one picture, Maxpower was my old gamertag as a child, and manu contacted me right after that video got released. Man there is no game which impacted me as much as sauer, i used to only have a weak laptop, because of that nearly no games ran on it besides sauer. All the people i met in the game back than were one of the kindest humans i have ever met, i was just 11 years old but they teached me how to build, and discovering those mechanics as a child was overwhelming, building detailed structures from your imagination felt insane. Cooper was an absolute genius as well. 10:17 this is also very true, because i learned how to basically 3d model as a child, geometric and 3d thinking was burned into my memory, this is also partly the reason i am studying civil engineering today. Still holding this game dear to my heart.

[@manutrollolol]

Studying Civil Engineering for even better Sauerbraten builds I see :D

[@ephix238]

​@@manutrollolol xD

[@justinmequenaure-malle9185]

Man... I almost got real emotional here... I was lucky enough to get a glimpse at sauerbraten's golden era back in 2011-2015... definitely my favorite game ever and for sure a special place in my heart. The people I played and edited with... the intensity of the actual fast fps games... I might re-download this and hit some cubes :D

[@manutrollolol]

Definitely do! Youre welcome any time :)

[@匿名的-1]

Genuinely wish I was around to witness these first-hand. Even the toxic swamp called Call of Duty. The vibes are so much different and these 2000s games have all been close to my heart, even if I don't quite have a lot of experience with them. Maybe I'm biased because of GTA IV, as it was my first GTA and hence why I love these more gritty, faded, old games.

[@asassady7]

Admittedly I don't consistently watch your content, but when i do, it's always good. It's so fucking human that's what I love about these videos. I think you know how special these memories are for these niche communities so thank you for showing us a glimpse into them.

[@1ironside]

Haven't played Battlefield Vietnam since 2009. I remember it being released. My uncle and his whole family used to play online together. RIP Capt Cam Klutz. I remember there is a spot on a map where you could easily snipe pilots out of their choppers.

[@FootknightProductions]

I am so glad to have been a part of the golden years of Sauer. I still binge this game once in a while.

[@manutrollolol]

Thanks for still being around. Fanatic forever!

[@FootknightProductions]

@manutrollolol once a Fan, always a Fan

[@timomajere]

Starsiege Tribes was a game many people's childhoods were built on and the game itself was a phenomena that even today is still being craved again. You ever try that one? Wolfenstein Enemy territory as well. Wolfensteins still going today actually.

[@Unknwn_User_]

My godfather downloaded Battlefield Vietnam on my pc back when I was a kid like 20 years ago. It was the first Battlefield I’ve ever played. This is the game that hooked me up to gaming. I spent years playing it, and I enjoyed every seconds of it, what a game ! Still thinking about it from times to times. Battlefield Vietnam will always have a special place in my heart, and in my opinion is one off the best battlefield games. Thanks for the great video as always Rye ✌🏻

[@jakeberry7286]

Ive been watching your videos for a few months now. A lot of the games you play are games I played in my youth (im in my mid 30's) I would never have imagined a guy 15 years younger than me would ever have interest in these old forgotten games, Thanks man. You bringing attention to these games, Even if it doesn't save them, is really nice to see.

[@salvadormuro7346]

Always so cool of a video for real, thanks Rye for sharing. It was a privilege as well, as a viewer, to see and learn the history and lore. Just wow.

[@Jusidaking12]

Dudee no way you played Cube 2 Sauerbraten. I played it so much as a kid but could never map. I checked it out like a year ago and was also surprised there was a full lobby. Great video!

[@manutrollolol]

One wouldnt expect it to be still so active, but somehow it is! Good for people wanting to check it out again :D

[@blodyholy_]

God I feel old. IN my early 20's, before friends and I had our own PC's, there was a local LAN gaming centre we all used to go to and play Battlefield Vietnam for hours on end. Good nostalgia!

[@marceelino]

Cube 2: Sauerbraten was great. One of my favorite games on LInux.

[@Khrymsyn]

Battlefield Vietnam, what a blast of the past! It was great to load up Ride of the Valkyires when at base in a huey, as everyone knew, it was time to load that huey up and drop behind VC lines. The chopper dogfights were also amazing. Hit detection was pretty solid too. You could actually fire a rocket THROUGH the open doors of a transport. Crazy stuff. Played with the old {CoW} crew in competivie (I think OGL). Stupiid [20ID] always had our number. :P

[@joshuauriarte452]

I remember playing Battlefield Vietnam when I was younger, It was fun with the amount of people I played with. I do wish we had a modern version of Battlefield Vietnam or at least a remaster of it. Stuff like this is what people have been asking EA for.

[@Highretrogamelord]

Sauerbraten and Battlefield: Vietnam. Right into my adolescence years!

[@DeimosPC]

Sauerbraten: Cube 2 should be released on Steam and I'm sure more people would play

[@Kevalanium]

in Ryes eyes everyone is an absolute legend

[@TrentSterling]

CUBE 2 got me into game development, nearly a decade ago! My first 3d game used some stolen textures from cube 2/egypt map. (plz no sue)

[@manutrollolol]

Calling aardappel right now But cool to hear! :D

[@LobetB]

The heli controls on BF:Vietnam were absolutely amazing. Easy enough for quick fun, complex enough to really make a difference if you can do it right. Beautiful blast from the past, thanks !

[@bo514]

My friends and I played Battlefield Vietnam a ton during LAN parties in 2004-05. It was a really popular game at the time, and was a great step up from BF1942. I loved flying the helicopters, and the era music (Fortunate Son). Good times!

[@sponge528]

I play sauerbraten sometimes too, love that game

I appreciate the journalistic/documentarian path this series took. It's great.

[@duesenantrieb8272]

omfg ....i used to play sauerbraten a looooot back then ... i had a linux pc and it was one of the games in the app store... the issue is i never ever discovered what this game is about, i didnt know you could edit anything O.o... i only played ffa against bots . I was to young to be alowed to play online, i played it first at around 8yo.. im german ... i didnt expect a shooter when i installed it first... i still vividly remember that moment and the surprise haha ... and i still enjoyed it so much...I wish i would have discovered what this game was truly about..

[@rawberg_se]

The Castle miner Z maps reminds me of the world me and my friends built in Minecraft, it's quite big, with several cities, a big underground rail system, lots of bases in the nether... if i visit the map today, I kind of get lost... ;) There are also some secret places i probably never will find again.
