Today Rye Games delves in to the vast world of free games with smaller communities. Some of these games, you've probably never heard of. The focus for this video was heavily on FPS games & Open World Games, since they were far popular back when these classics were being created. Survival games weren't as big, but they'll get their own video soon.

Dude, I had no idea Neotokyo still had a community after all these years. Same with Fortress Forever. Literally two of my favorite mods for source ever made. I don't know if you work(ed) on Neotokyo or are just part of the community, but I just want to install it again and have some fun playing it like the old days. :)
@@LordLOCSame. I used to check out so many HL1/Source mods. Remember playing both Fortress Forever because I loved the original Team Fortress. Neotokyo was also lots of fun.
They're part of the community. The original devs all moved on long ago. Though some of them can still be contacted on Steam.@@LordLOC
btw how's the community doing? They eating alright?
@@LutraLovegood Oh, hi Tenchi ;P yeah we are eating alright, same old... Still waiting on steampipe
ive been watching your videos for the last like 2 weeks at this point and i just wanted to say you make very nice content
Saaame
This is so true 🎉❤ there’s something about it that I’m really into. Love the music choice as well. I love that it’s produced well but not OVERproduced. Everything feels organic. Including his commentary. Great voice! ❤
Chill vibes all around makes me wanna buy a pc just to play something with him sometime 😂
Me too - I love the casual approach he takes with every game he plays. Most gamers try everything to make themselves look like they're one of the best gamers there is, he doesn't give a shit 😂
Same, got recommended about 2 weeks ago and have been binging through
Why not make video about good and popular games that lost vast amount of players, for instance: Titanfall 2, The escapist 1/2, Worms, TABG, Mordhau and many more?
Theres something special about dead games and even though the world has moved on they're holding onto the nostalgia forever. I faced this recently with Call of duty 3 and Socom 2. There was only maybe 8 people playing online and it just opened the floodgates and every little hiding spot just came back to me and then memories that i completely forgot about started to pop into my head and it was amazing!
It's not necessarily nostalgia. In the case of Neotokyo for example I never found a FPS quite like it. The closest were three freemium games that all closed, so you know.
I remember playing AVA as a kid. It was great.
Always deathmatch. Sort of felt like CoD to me but i could actually play this because it was free.
Sometimes i miss the era of trash f2p mmos and shooters.
Companies were damn creative back then too
f2p shooters were something else in late 00s-early 10s, slightly pay2win but not gamebreaking, dev stillcares and also plays alot on the lobbies
Too bad when they know they can milk in game items it all went downhill for most f2p shooters
I played AVA after highschool with a friend because we had no game in common. If I remember correctly, there was a knife only versus mode.
Every comment about that chinese CS clone says the same thing
"when i was a kid and had no money"
literally nobody would have played it otherwise lmao
"its good when theres no alternatives" is not very good
@@Rhapbus1 even if its free, if its shit noone would play it since even back then the genre was saturated as fuck, most famous korean/chinese f2p shooter were actually solid as a game itself
It had a fun MP7 weapon and that was my favorite gun, it looks so cool seeing it in sci fi movies. I saw the mp7 in gameplay and was like bet
Seeing fortress forever on here put such a smile on my face! Genuinely one of the most fun games I've ever played, and the community although small is amazing
And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. -Jeremiah 29:13
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. - John 3:16
Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out.

If are in North America, please go check out any of the churches available to you: PCA, OPC, Rpcna/Rpc, Urcna, or a canrc church
(These are conservative and actual Presbyterian churches)
If you can’t find one of the conservative presby churches then, maybe a Lcms or Wels Lutheran church.
If you are Scottish, I recommend the Free Church of Scotland and the APC.
(Different from the Church of Scotland)
If you are English I recommend the Free Church of England.

Online you can look up church finders for each of the groups and it will show you locations.
So good to see Neotokyo on here! I always loved that game. Very sad that the recordings didn't work, but I'm glad you went back in for another look.
hey! i remembering playing on Fortress Forever with you guys. thanks for including FF in this video. sucks the server crashed a bit but it was a ton of fun playing on a full server.
Really enjoying this "dead games" series, Rye. Please keep making them!
Definitely one of the better algorhythm recommendations.
about 9 years ago, the first game i ever got on steam, was double action bogaloo, it was the MOST fun i ever had as a kid, same goes for fistful of frags, and other free games, since the economy in my country is kind of dogshit i was happy that i was able to enjoy these games at the time. i hope this video revives some of them because i want to give them a visit.
Wish you lucl body
I find it crazy to see how much Battalion fell off. I remember playing it when it was first released and it was really enjoyable to play with a thriving community.
Hey, ex BL dev here. I wasn't in the company when B44 was released, but thanks for playing it all the same! Basically the reason it died was that the studio wasn't expecting the popularity on release. Through naivety and inexperience, the net code crashed the server when too many people tried to join at once, plus the anti-cheat logic was quite... 'easy to overcome' 🤣.
Most of these issues were fixed after a week or two but it never really recovered from the negative sentiment. It was a massive learning experience for the studio. When I joined, the lessons from B44 were passed down to every new programmer - earned in blood as they say.
The studio and it's employees were receiving death threats almost every day and quite a few quit as a result; crazy times and I'm glad I wasn't there!
@@Guy_6397 well you guys gave me a very nice nostalgia trip to the thousands of hours I accumulated in OG call of duty. So thanks for that, too bad it failed like it did. Would have deserved way more.
I started watching your videos yesterday,and got to say, the music in between games, is absolute bonkers
Imagine owning a server and suddenly you have 20 people in your lobby :)
Love that Rye always finds friends and uses Undertale music. It gives me DETERMINATION
Man i havent played neotokyo in over a decade, thanks for giving it a shine in the spotlight!
The two albums made for the soundtrack, Neotokyo - GSDF and Neotokyo - NSF , by 0edit, are some of the coolest ambient electronic music ive ever heard and keep them in my playlists to this day. ❤
One of my favorite dead games is Kane and Lynch 2: Dog days. The multiplayer was so much fun, and unique. I know there was a discord server that would occasional host multiplayer games, but that was so so long ago, idk if it still exists or what not, but it's definitely a worthwhile and fun game to play, if you haven't already. I know it's not a free game.
Kane and Lynch was one of my favorite games back in the day!
Dude I played the hell out of that multiplayer demo, unfortunately I was still in school, but omg just the online demo was fun
you have a fantastic way of making me feel nostalgic for experiences i never even had
You're an amazing person helping people out like that is a great show of brotherhood and gamer love.
As someone who played AVA GLOBAL, from closed beta test, to about a few months ago. I gasped when you mentioned the game.
Thank you. From the bottom of my heart.
I Kickstarted Battalion 1944 when it was first announced because it had a lot of promise. Once it hit open early access the player base were so toxic to newcomers learning how to play that many new players left and never played again. If your player base starts toxic it's really difficult to build a loyal base beyond the elite few. It was doomed from early access.
Damn, that’s a right shame. I also contributed to the Kickstarter after hearing about it from Phantasy. I thought it was great, but then went to uni so didn’t game during that time… and when I logged on next, there were zero players. :( And here we really thought it could be a resurgence of the old-school shooter…
Its a shame this game went the way it did i bought the game in 2018 , it was nearly a close spiritual succesor to MOH:AA multiplayer, it was a game i had been waiting for and its ashame the devs destroyed what could have been a masterpiece
Rank was just a counter strike clone
I love your choice of the MapleStory OST. Thank you for tapping into my nostalgia
This is honestly some of the most wholesome content I've seen.
So happy I made it into the video! @3:29 . Had a blast playing this and for those who remember, the pink toothbrush advert still haunts me.
Loved the video!!! I'd also love to see you play "The hidden" at some point, which seems long, dead, and gone at this point. Super great memories of that game.
Good game
I stumbled upon your channel about 2 weeks ago and I've been bingeing your videos ever since, I can't get enough. Your channel is gonna go far with the awesome content!
i've just recently started watching your videos about dead games, it's great content, relaxing and wholesome in a way. Keep it up
i used to play battle grounds 3 around the time it came out. it was always the same people whom you played with. the voice chats were one of the reasons i played it so much. people were hilarious. im suprised to see it still running.
Happy to host the server for your NT game night :)
i just seen your videos, heck its so wholesome and nostalgin. thank you so much for making these videos
Awesome video man, I played A.V.A a lot years ago and I'll try it again. Thank you for this
It's awesome to see you found battlegrounds III. I've been playing the game for a number of weeks and time flies when I play it. The main public server is usually packed with about 20+ people around noon here in the US. I sometimes run into regulars who play the game far more than me. I often hop on to play "a game or two" and multiple hours go by.
I've recently started watching your video, and I think this is probably one of the most wholesome channels on YT. Most of the games I've never played but I enjoy seeing people enjoy your content and enjoy you looking at their favourite games. For me the game I started out with was probably dirty Bomb😅those we're fun times
Thank you Rye for shedding some light on those forgotten games
Nice content and nice song for numbering
About time. Im always waiting for your videos. Kinda my free time must watch.
Everyone of these mods/games are some of my favorites in the multiplayer space. I still do play Double Action Boogaloo and Battle Grounds III from time to time. Fortress Forever and Neotokyo I haven't played in well, forever and I'm going to reinstall them now because holy hell did I love those two mods. Battalion Legacy was great when it had players, haven't played since though and I'm not sure how it might play now with the bots. But, we will see :D
Very nice moving image production
Cool video, I enjoyed the jank you went through. As someone who has played a few of these games, it was awesome to see someone else give them a bash haha
Neotokyo was cool with you guys, I honestly think i'll give it another go as soon as i can. Hope I'll be here again to discover some other cool forgotten games with y'all. Also quite surprised to don't see dystopia here. And i paid for battalion, it had potential but devs tried to earn money as valve did with skin cases instead of fixing the game, and it didn't worked. I'm also happy to see double action boogaloo being in the vid
Ho and also, mom i'm in the video!
I have fond memories of playing and finding many friends in regiments in battlegrounds 2 and playing line battles against other regiments, such good times and the way I got into mount and blade Napoleonic wars and hold fast 😊
So glad you covered fortress forever had a gang of regulars I used to play with everyday for like a month or 2. Good times, you really get to know everyone when your the only players 💀.
that maplestory BGM got me feeling SUPER nostalgic. was not expecting that in this video
you are one of the best youtube channel i've found recently
it was so fun to be a part of this! great job on the video, its great to see how much you've improved!
these videos are always great, thank you for making them, they are very nice to watch.
i have been waiting for you to cover neo toyoko, a personal favorite of mine :)
nice to see neotokyo on here i mentioned it last video thanks bro moar players is good
It's been a while since I was hit witch such a nostalgia wave when I saw Double action, I very vaguely remember playing it 8 years ago as a kid. Great video man, keep it up
ah man i got chills when the neotokyo segment started. many confused teen years in there, soundtrack by ed harrison still holds up to this day.
NGL watching this video reminded me of playing a game called APB: Reloaded, the game that I will never forget, the in-depth character creation, making some new in-game friends and goofing around, I will never forget that time.
Games or severs with a small player base will tend to be so welcoming, and as a member of a small community I can confirm I love seeing new people hop on to play.
this video filled me with so much good and sad nostalgia thank you
you deserve a like just for having Silent hill 2 music in it, and also my favorite
I found this channel a week ago out of random and I see your reviewed AVA. Sir thank you. I miss this game and it's glory ❤ so many good memories.
Omg LOVE neotokyo! One of the best source mods. They have neotokyo fridays on the NT discord where some people play :)
I have been waiting for you to upload.
loved the silent hill music during double action
Seeing you play Double Action: Boogaloo brings back good memories. I had so much fun playing that as a kid back in 2014/2015 on my laptop at 20 fps lol. It's a shame that the game is dead now but it's not hard to see why when the game has barely changed since I last played it nearly a decade ago.
DOUBLE ACTION is a fire game, so much memories unlockeds
Thoxanband beat at 2:33 gave me nostalgia from 2016 lol
Babe, wake up. The Wendigoon of rare and lost video game is back. 😎
Double action boogalo.
Maaaaan what a throwback, you made me remember some good times and for that i thank you.
Thank you for showing Battalion... I loved that game so much, the competitive scene was insane and that's where I've met 2 friends that I still talk to and play with till this day. Old Battalion players will say they miss the game, we all do, but we won't play it anymore because it's dead...
Try Enemy Territory next! 🎉 nice video
i play both fortess forever and neotokyo, thank you for keeping the servers on FF and maybe by extension the whole game alive, we genuiently thought they were gonna die :)
(btw 2:28 this pronounciation actually caused "conflict" in other places before lmao)
Just found your great channel it brought back some great memories!! A couple of games I really miss .. battlefield Vietnam people flying around tunes blaring everyone dancing about .. on the other hand Vietcong used to scare the shit out of 13 year old me .. a very underrated game would love to see you take a look at them now
Just finished the Intro, and I seen Double Action Boogaloo. Man I miss that game, It was just an all around classic shooter in the old Source days. Fun as hell with friends as well.
It reminds me of The Specialists on the HL1 engine.
@@Gatorade69 its basically a TS fan game. it never recaptured the magic of TS though.
@@Dahnyulll Yeah I could see the influence. Was kind of sad there was never a The Specialists Source or anything like it since (well besides Double Action Boogaloo) that I know of.
@@Gatorade69 from what i remember, the original devs moved on to bigger and better things not long after the TS2.0 release(one of them got hired by crytek iirc) and the dev that took over, and eventually released 3.0, didnt want to start over on source. i think he did end up helping on boogaloo though, when it was clear hl1 modding was dead in the water.
NeoTokyo... man, that brings back good memories.
Love the video.
If you ever get a chance, give the NeoTokyo soundtrack a listen. It's criminality underrated and so good.
The soundtrack appears in the game only after you type in a command into the console which is strange af.
As a new sub I just want to suggest finding a consistent naming convention for this series. I feel like I see the same title with the tiniest change over and over. I know it's not the easiest ask but it'd be a nice touch. Cheers and great work!
Hey rye, i found your channel this week and your content has been honestly amazing, its so refreshing to find someone as down to earth as you are, also planetside 2 would be perfect for dead free games its a futristic military tactic shooters with captains and attack stratagies ETC...would recommend giving it a look. Anyways keep up the great work mate
I was on the team for Neo Tokyo and a few other mods at the time. It was personally my favorites that I got to be a part of.
what was the censored thing
@@ahlee.adult posters.
Thanks for giving Neotokyo some fresh eyes Rye! Cheers
oh my god, the fact that you actually played AVA is such a nostalgia trips. AVA is really, really big in SEA and NA back then since F2P games used to be filled with only FPS games made by Korean and pretty much part of the big fives ( AVA, Counter Strike Online , Point Blank, Special Forces 2 and Blacksquad ). you should try those games since those were still exist but with such a small communites
I love your videos man keep going 🖤
Okay...finding you randomly was a YT blessing. I know I'm gonna watch all the videos within two days and cry. But I'm very glad. You're entertaining sir and have unique channel.
Once you commit some time into double action the movement in the game is actually great, lots of fun memories playing it with friends.
The little song during the game number transition never gets old 🥲
Broski keep goin man you doin great 🔥 now its bulky time fr
appreciate you checking out AVA man ❣
Love those videos.
Keep 'em coming please
I used to play double action: Boogaloo all the time in the early 2010s. Glad to see it's still being played.
that "unable to comply" is by far my most favorite line ever
Love these videos, this made me think of games like Soldier Front and Gunz: The Duel, sadly I don’t think there’s live servers for these games anymore :(
Wholesome and great content. Thank you
My favorite two free Steam games are Endless Sky and Battle for Wesnoth. Both are amazing open source passion projects that have been refined over many years.
17:15 did you really just quote Deadpool to this guy? That's solid gold lol.
natural selection 2 is a game that i love, there is usual enough people to play at any hours but it will never received new update
double action boogaloo was so good dude
Dankeschön for making my day better! You’re the best ❤
The boogaloo game reminds me of the specialist, back in the day this hl mod was extremely popular with a huge RP community and deathmatch on classic maps. I've never met anyone else that has played it aside from my brother.
please release more of these rye
man double action boogaloo was actually awesome back when it had players, the car chases were some of the most intense chaotic experiences ive ever had in a game
Rye, you might not see this but I appreciate you so much for playing the Temple of Time music from Maplestory at the 3 minute mark. That just made my whole day aside from the video 💙
Much love from the AVA community ❤
LIL RETRO!!! I played double action boogaloo with him before, I love double action sm
that A.V.A is nostalgia for me, I played it coop with my friends
Wild. I actually remember playing AVA and Double Action: Boogaloo (DAB as everyone called it). I remember playing on a shitty laptop games like those and Scram and pla_toon. All weird games with barely anyone playing but they were a blast to play. I remember in either pla_toon or Scram you could actually shoot grenades on other player's sides and they would explode which I thought was super cool. Me and my friends would just aim for the grenades all the time. This dead games video was the first that brought me back to a nostalgic place. These weird small little dead games are the ones that stick in my mind so vividly. I guess because they can be absurd which, with friends, makes it 10x more hilarious than something that is more "serious" like CS:GO or something, and give you just the freedom to goof around without getting absolutely dunked on by like 30 other players trying to test stuff out with your friends
As a veteran of AVA, the gameplay itself is very good as free to play game, but later on the skin gun and regular gun makes so much difference that basically is paid to win. I almost go pro playing AVA with my friends back in the day
AVA was the first PC I ever played, back when people like Skadoodle played.
This video gave me so much nostalgia.
Nice content bro keep it up
