    Looking for Legendary Swords or Haunted House? They’re not actually islands, I made a whole video about these Miniquests! Check it out here: th-cam.com/video/Fp_i_-W4RZQ/w-d-xo.html

      Legendary Swords was made into a full island in 2017....... sure it still ended on a cliffhanger but you got a medal for it in the island version so there's that! The island version was removed with all the other flash islands in 2020!

      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.

    Despite having no reason to do so, Vampire's curse island made such A HUGE impact on me. I was obsessed with the island and it basically kickstarted a whole stack of fan comics, fan fictions, and my whole art career (I really can thank it for literally getting me to where I am). 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.

At the time, some of the islands were member locked as well, so I didn't get to fully experience some islands like Wimpy Kid.

    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!!

    I enjoyed poptropica so much as a kid. I assume the reason why the islands got easier as they went along was to make it more accessible to children? Because I remember not being able to finish some islands without the help of ThinkNoodles in elementary school.. still, I wish they had stuck with their original complexity, especially since their audience was aging anyway. My favorite islands growing up were Cryptids & Ghost Story. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video, it was all super nostalgic for me :)

    Poptropolis Games is another favorite of mine. I actually loved the challenges and the setting is super cool.

    Astrokinghts Island is indisputable the best Island Poptropica ever made. The setting, story, and scope were far greater than anything we had seen or would ever see again.
    As you mentioned, the medieval setting crossed with robotics was an exceptionally cool aesthetic and the mystery of Mordred was extremely interesting. Like who was this guy? He's clearly behind all these advancements (which is good) but he also seems to have been cast out (which is bad). He supposedly created crimes against nature (which is bad) but we meet one of his creations (the owl) who seems helpful and nice.
    Is Mordred good or is he evil? Is he alive or is he dead? It's so fascinating how he's the most important character in the story, yet you don't even know it he's alive until the very end. He's an impressively complex character who's so well incorporated into the mystery and aesthetic of the Island and was critical to the plot even though you don't actually meet him until the very end.
    And the setting does a great job of foreshadowing his return without even letting you know 100%. Like his experiments of combining living things with robots explain how he survived and you are fighting all these weirdly robotic creatures before you get to him. I always suspected he was connected to the great evil we were fighting but I never knew for sure. It's a great example of the setting informing the story and that's hard to pull off in any game let alone an internet flash game for kids!
    And on top of all of this, Astroknights was one the hardest islands to complete gameplay wise. You were always mentally puzzled and challenged by what to do next. This combined with the greater scope (you were literally traveling to different planets!), fantastic story, and intriguing aesthetic really solidified Astroknight as the best Island ever made! Bravo Jeff Kinney, bravo!

    • @AC-Destiny
      @AC-Destiny 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Agree with everything but your final verdict. I must say the AstroKnights island is one of the best islands ever created, and evelated Poptropica into its golden age (2009-2014), but at times the island can be very aggravating (take the platforming on the fire planet and the phoenix boss fight as an example), especially for a game aimed at kids. As a result it won't go number one on my list, but still definitely in the top 10.

    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 loved poptropica so much as a kid and remembered using thinknoodles walkthroughs for spy island lol. survival island and time tangled island were my favorites and i really liked escape from pelican rock too! i must’ve beat pelican rock like 3 times during computer class and i would be the person showing my friends how to beat it because i was like a poptropica master. good times, i miss the good old days of flash and good poptropica islands

    Dude I'm listening to this intro and everything is so spot on from computer labs to jumping on clotheslines endlessly to thinknoodles lol

    Escape from pelican rock is my favorite island, so I’m a tad bit upset with where it ended up. Survival island, though, is right where it belongs. I miss proptropica and this video made me really happy. Needless to say, I’m subscribed.

    I feel so old seeing this haha. When I first started playing Poptropica there were only 2 islands! I remember when Time Tangled came out me and all my friends at school were trying to help each other beat it in the computer lab. It was so fun.
    I also remember when 24 Carrot came out every time we would try to fight the boss in the mini game, the whole game would freeze and crash. They didn’t fix that issue for like a month and we were all super sad we couldn’t finish the island. Lol

    the jersey devil design gave me nightmares as a kid; I actually thought I'd see it now and realize how silly I was as a kid but *NOPE* that thing is still hella uncomfortable to look at good job to the artist who made it (It looks really cool!!!!). Some of the freakiest moments in these games was when they were clearly experimenting with using sound; the constant silence being broken by the LOUD crashes or the tiny whispers was so jarring I would flip my bean every time

    39:43 A big island where the old ones are in ruins would be fitting considering that's basically what happened after the flash shut down

    This video is like nostalgia central! I used to play Poptropica all the time when I was younger, and I still do sometimes now. I have flashpoint downloaded on my computer so I can play the old islands. Thank you for making this video, I love it ❤️👍

    I loved this whole video, thank you for making it! Obviously there are a couple rankings I like more than you did, and a couple I like less, but I’m just glad to see such a cool and well thought out video on poptropica after the game has existed for so long. I feel the sudden need to go download and play all the old islands now.

      Haha I know I wanna play the first ones again too even though I just did it. Thanks so much!

    When I played Poptropica, there were like 5 islands. Imagaine My surprise when I revisited a few years later. And actually, when I played, they didn't even have that cosmetics shop. Best you could do was copy items from other characters. It was HUGE when they added that shop.

    i can see that!
    "Doomed Island" where you visit slices of previous islands in a doomsday scenario. gather various stuff to make the maguffin, including puzzles specifically focused one using items from one island in another

    This game is so nostalgic to me, I love seeing it through someone else’s eyes! My favorite was mystery train, I’m inspired to replay it!

    • @Jake.Miller
      @Jake.Miller  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      A lot of people seem to love that one! I'd definitely recommend downloading flashpoint and playing it again!

    Amazing video reliving my childhood, but kinda pissed that you got through Reality TV Island in one try haha
    I spent soooo much time as a kid just getting voted out and having to start again lol
    But anyways great video! Thx for putting in the hours of work that I prob never will

    Jesus Christ! The whiplash of nostalgia had completely taken over when you went over skullduggery island! Building your ship up and seeing it change, battling other ships in the sea, and the economic system, all of that brought me back! It’s this genre of gaming that really intrigued me.
    What a gem of a game to stumble upon.
