Castle miner Z was my shit up until Microsoft got rid of indie games. God I wish they would bring them back
Omg yes!!!!
Bro I was about to be mad if castleminer z was on here
Its on steam
yea it was fun, I just hated having to go like 20k blocks to get materials for the weapons.
Ricko Plays castle miner z was so good! It was such a junky little game and a shame it didn’t get recognized!

how has there only been one person to comment this???
I always though moyang was the proper pronunciation but I’m most likely wrong
It is actually more similiar to moyang than mojang when you prounonce it in Swedish
Oh... that’s cool.

Yo CastleMiner Z was the stuff, the fact that you could play as your Avatar was awesome as heck. Sucks that they got rid of it😢
It was gold
@@ATKrypto Indeed it was, RIP CastleMiner Z😥 I can still hear the roars of Zombies to the weird noises of the Aliens 😔
it still on steam if you want it
And the dragons that spawn every 5 minutes...
Anyone remember Deadburg on the Xbox arcade? It was a rip off of the rip off
Gotta say, I loved Disney infinity, as a kid I really enjoyed having a bunch of my favorite characters mess around with each other, especially with 3.0 and Star Wars, sad to see it go.
Yeah, and my mom really liked collecting the figures, and my brother and i loved playing the game. When we learned they were shutting down we were pretty upset
It isnt as good now
I missed out on that gem :( but Kingdom Hearts made up for that.
They should’ve said LEGO Dimensions it was basically unplayable on Wii-U and only lasted 2 years.
yeah it was one of my favorite games when i was younger kinda sad to found out it have shut downed
They really talked shit about Disney Infinity and Castle Miner Z
I loved Disney Infinity
Me too rip Disney Infinity 😭
castle miner was fun
I used to play Disney Infinity all the time when I was a little boy.
@@somerandomguy4760 castleminers especially Z was the only one that could even come close to Minecraft.
Castle miner was dope, had dragons and guns, and had incentives to explore, was like a harder minecraft tbh
Well you can use a dragon mob mod for Minecraft. But its castle miner is kinda a good game if you don't have money for Minecraft
Castleminers Z was the only one that could even get close to Minecraft.
Castle miner was bad. but Castle Miner Z on the other hand that hit just right it was amazing 👏
yes
Castle Miner Z was fucking awesome
Castleminer z best minecraft rip off lol
I still play on PC to this day because never got a chance to get on xbox but because of the steam beta's I can feel like I'm playing the original xbox verison I been dying to play
Castle miner z was the best indie game
Original Game Concept: *Exists* Copycats: "I'll STEAL IT! NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW!"
"ho- how did they know?"
The owner of the game: Hey free lawsuit!
"Unhand that Dan Backslide"
Original game exists: Copycats: “Write that down, write that down!”
More like RIGHT THAT DOWN RIGHT THAT DOWN
I loved playing Disney Infinity with my brother, and we were sad when it shut down. I am surprised that that is what it looked like, i remember it looking a lot better.

I actually really enjoyed Castle Miner Z with my friends. We were young and since we could use our avatars and the game had guns and dragons was fun. I know the quality wasn’t the best but I remember playing this game a bunch back in 2012

Had to click when I saw castle mine z, brings me way back to the good old days
That 18 word speach of Castle Miner Z was on point my guy and yes that was and still is the shit

I enjoyed a whole series of GTA copycats. Called Saint’s Row. Well,technically the Saint’s Row games have really good stories,characters,and worlds. And do stand out from GTA in a whole bunch of ways. Which is a whole lot more than every other GTA copycat can say. It’s also a whole lot more than most good copycats can say.
Yea saint's row was love❤️ 🔥

I enjoyed castle miner honestly
Same it had guns
@@jackgraven6042 Same. The avatars and guns kept me playing.
Same it was a very nice game
When you grow up in poverty and couldn't buy Minecraft. I would exploit the demo by never closing out the tutorial tab, which would stall the gameplay timer.

WHY
@@notarthurmorgan7472 ouch
I remember playing a game on my Xbox called “Brawlhalla” it was a rip off of Super Smash Bros with some minor differences 1: they didn’t have all the items, except for a bomb, a spiked ball, and a horn and I think a few others 2: you had to pick up these little swords to get your weapon which there are two of for each character 3: they all have the same move set but with different speeds, strengths, etc However they had a few characters that Smash doesn’t 1 Shovel Knight 2 Ray man 3 Dwane the Rock Johnson 4 Barack Obama 5: John Cena ( those last three wasn’t a joke they are actually in the game )
Lol. Thr rock is in it after WWE CROSSOVER Im a competitive player
it slaps, get it on your phone
Original Games: Who are you? Video Game Copycats: We're you! But worst! :D
XD true
Makes sense.
Better watch out before disrespecting castleminer z
On god bro that was my shit dog
Fr, it was so good. Bought a 4pack on steam not so long ago lol
Amazing game
idk why y'all like Castleminer so much, it's basically ripoff of Minecraft and a very basic one at that, seriously play MINECRAFT.
@@UltimateGamerCC don’t get me wrong, minecraft slaps now and slapped even harder back then(mainly cause I was a kid) but castle miner z was it’s own kind of fun. I mean, come on, it had guns and aliens and shit.
Fun fact: SEGA got assistance from Hudson Soft, the team behind Mario Party, when making Sonic Shuffle
Castleminer was a fun game. The character used Xbox's Avatar so whatever customizations you gave it, your character had as well. Their updated version, Castleminer Z, added zombies as something to do during the night. It was successful because of the player customizing, multiplayer, and enemies were full 3D. The Minecraft version shown has a shield, which was not available at the time of Castleminer.
Hey, Disney Infinity was good, and I miss it.
I agree
Me to
Y e s
Yeah it was amazing
Yeep

castle miner, castle miner z and total miner were all made years before minecraft ever arrived on xbox
You do know Minecraft was a thing before it was on Xbox, right?

CastleMiner Z hit different don’t disrespect 😡
It'll always connect to my heart
Thank you!
I used to play it when I couldn't afford Minecraft lol
I know CMZ Was Awesome
Yessir that shit was bussin on gang
I actually liked disney infinity but I also liked skylanders
I liked all of the toys to life stuff it was awesome.
Same
I loved Disney infinity, it may have been a rip off but it was something from my childhood that I’ll remember
@@purple-eye9412 I wouldn't call it a rip off, since it has unquie elements that Skylanders didn't have, like the Toy Box
@@SparkzEnt agreed
I've played a game called "thisisavirus", although the game "thisisn'tavirus" ripped it off and the original game was ruined
The first time I watched this video, I literally was playing Minecraft. When it got to castleminer, the side-by-side comparison was an unexpected but hilarious moment.
How on earth do these game companies not get sued for doing this?
i remember back when minecraft was at its peak and even now the app store was littered with copycats
What makes it even bad a lot of them don't even try to hide it it literally does Minecraft graphics and I played a lot of them they are a crappy they lag the basically boring and they glitch too much is like stop trying to copy the game Minecraft is the god of games and no one can ever make a game better than the original
The fact that Mobile Legends didn't make it on the list, let alone honourable mentions, is so god damn mindly infuriating
It's really successful on some asia countries. It's addicting and it's kind of a bad habit at this point (I don't play ML).
I remember playing packman party! It was actually a really fun game!
Take a shot whenever there’s a Minecraft rip-off (⚠️Warning: This will kill you⚠️)
I think he meant drinking
NOT IF I CAN HELP IT (12 drinks later) so um... I’m in the hospital, hehe fuck

I love castle miner Z on the xbox I use to play that all the time and you would always find new things like the dragons the farther you traveled
This is the ultimate “no, we have _________ at home” compilation
I made one of my best friends on Castle Miner, then we moved to playing every other game together for years to come. But sadly we fell off😔
Me: "Have you no shame?" The Game Makers: "No- can you use that word in a sentence?"
Castle Miner Z was awesome. Xenominer was also amazing. Xenominer made me love Sci fi survival games and science and space in general. Early total miner was cool too.
I really liked Sonic Shuffle also you could see the cards on the VMU 😅
There should be a Rule for this to be one with the Rules of the Internet *"If it gets popular enough there will be ripoffs of it, NO EXCEPTIONS"*
like all the youtube channels doing top 10s like this one?
Its almost like certain games create new genres that other companies want to try.
I'll be honest.. I love and still love Pac-man party.
Weird
Same! Used to play it all the time with my siblings. Always played as the little robot guy. Siblings were always scared of the teddy bear boss lol.
I still have the game 😂
My heart broke right in half when you called Disney Infinity a ripoff of Skylanders. That game was my childhood, and I'm still so sad to this day how the era of "toys coming to life"-video games is basically over. :(
One of the items in Lonk’s Awakening was called the Majority’s Mask 😂 I’m dying
I actually had no idea PAC Man party was a rip off, I just genuinely enjoyed it 😂
This is what I came here to say and hoped someone had already said it 😂😂
Zeldo: Lonk's awakening kinda slaps tho ngl
Me: Mom, can I get Zelda? Mom: We have Zelda at home! Zelda at home: The Legend of Zeldo: Lonk's Awakening
Aight, that's it. No talking crap about sonic shuffle. Its sonic. Although I've never played.
I actually enjoyed castleminer z a lot back in the day, we had guns and knifes and it was fun to play with friends 😂
Same, it was my childhood game
I have played Kungfu Panda : Showdown of Legends but didn't knew it copied from Mario.
It copied from smash bros
One clone I played so much when I was younger was muppets party cruise which I sill play from time to time a pretty fun Mario party clone, it also had quite a lot of mini games
On the topic of mario. On Linux there are two games called super tux 2 and super tux cart. Yes, they may be copies of Mario, but the graphics, the gameplay, and the downloadable add ons that are given a place of their own on the main menu are all very good, and the textures are really smooth. Not bad at all.
“The GameCube didn’t have much” Is this a joke?
You know watch mojo doesn't look up stuff
Hahaha, its normal at this rate. XD
Came to the comments for this. Watchmojo is a joke
WatchMojo: "Super Smash Brothers is so popular they all try to copy it." also WatchMojo: "Let's just pretend Super Smash Brothers Melee wasn't a thing and definitely not the breakthrough of this series."
Also sonic shuffle is made by the same dude who made mario party so I guest it wouldn't be a copy if the same dude made it right????
I wonder how many cease and desist letters were sent to these companies.
when i got my xbox and i played castle miners Z and it was amazing I wish it would have became a bigger game and gotten either updates or bought out by another company and continued
Castle miner Z was the shit. It’s actually currently on steam
Sounds more like plagiarism.
in the case of Boxmaker it literally is.
I actually did have a lot of fun with CastleMiner Z, at least from my little kid head at the time.
Same
I was expecting Simpsons Road Rage because that was an exact clone of Sega’s Crazy Taxi. Sega actually filed a lawsuit
*I use to play castle miner Z* on the xbox 360 It was the best memories for me tbh in the past
Disney infinity didn't feel like a rip-off. It was another part of the genere.
It's just like the hole "every monster collecting game is a pokemon rip off!!!".
@@gustyko8668 so Pokemon rip off?
@@code066funkinbird3 by that logic we should call them "Shin Megami Tensei rip offs".

Same it was fun
I know right
I think it's a well made game
Same
@@dylanmorgan-connolly22 ikr
I remember Pacman party! Sure the general idea is the same as Mario Party, but the gameplay structure, main objective and mini games made the title stand out imo.
was looking for this comment! i still love my copy of pac man party
Yes I have Castle miner and Castle miner z was the thing back in the day
No way this man dissed pac man party and disney infinity.
I wouldn’t call Disney infinity a rip off compared to the others.
2:19 Wow I actually still have this very game for the Wii, I had literally no idea how much of a rip off it was
I actually PLAYED that KFP beat-em-up. Actually pretty fun but that was a long time ago
That reminds me, when are we going to get?: Fire Semblem Astral Stain Super Smash Sisters Traffic Fighters Mekiro: Shadows Die Twice Palacevania
I’d play super smash sisters~
FIRE SEMBLEM XDDDDDD THEY DIDNT EVEN TRY TO HIDE IT XD
I'd play super smash sisters!
In Palutena's words, Super Slash Sisters.
I used to play so much castle miner z when I was a kid 😂
I actually enjoyed CastleMiner Z and I miss it. It was a fun alternative to minecraft, and it gives a purpose to your xbox avatars.
I would all ways play "kung fu panda: showdown of legendary legends" game all the time with my friends We had so much fun
PacMan party was dope. My cousins and I would play for hours having a blast.
"imitation is a form of flattery." ....well even if that's the case these imitations are insulting!
Lousy imitations are the worst way of insulting!
my favorite copycat game was a 15fps flash game from like 2007 or 2010. called angry birds ice melter or whatever i dont remember. i remember playing it on my nan's windows xp all day.
I genuinely enjoyed Castleminer and bought Castleminer Z on Steam to get back into
Disney infinity brings nostalgia for me
You forgot PlayStation All-Star Battle Royale
@@ZacRitnerAnimeFan93 yeah but it was terrible
Man the lonks awaking music melts my brain
I personally only have good memories of CastleMiner, especially Castleminer Z. Was really fun with friends, especially since it was before Minecraft went to consoles.
Is it strange that I am playing Genshin Impact while listening to this video?
Imagine a copycat of raid shadow legends...
I remember I used to play castle miner and used to walk 3000 blocks away from spawn to get to a place called “miners paradise” i miss playing that game 😔
As soon as I heard the music to "The 3D Battles of WorldRunner", I thought of Game Grumps. 🤣
The irony of a Hearthstone rip off from a Chinese company.
6:50 when a rip off PAINFULLY COSTS YOU
Actually I enjoyed Disney infinity
Castle Miner Z slapped because it was cool to play as your avatar. Wish they brought the Castle Miner series on the xbox series X and xbox one
Castleminer is hands down amazing I really enjoyed the zombie mode
