Today's sponsor World of Tanks allowed me to donate a pretty hefty amount to some server owners which was awesome so go give world of tanks a try here: tanks.ly/43na8bz ! It has the most incredible Tank pvp in the world, it's totally free AND if you guys have never played it before you can get some special rewards for entering the invite code COMBAT, like 250k Free Credits, 7 days of Premium Access & the Cromwell B tier 6 tank.

I hope you enjoy the video, and thank you to everyone who made this one possible! Remember to send dead game suggestions to my twitter: twitter.com/RyeGamess Today's sponsor World of Tanks allowed me to donate a pretty hefty amount to some server owners which was awesome so go give world of tanks a try here: tanks.ly/43na8bz !

I sure will enjoy the video!
I don't use Twitter but I would suggest. Pirates Vikings knights II . It's a great game for free. unfortunately it's been mostly dead, but still has active updates and a good community. I have at least 2.5k hours in the game, been playing on and off for over 10 years. Very fun game with an extremely high skill ceiling. Three teams, unique classes, source engine, melee and ranged combat. Shit load of maps and game modes , honestly a great time when you can find a populated server. Mainly active on weekends. Deserves a lot more love, as it is insanely deep when it comes to combat. Don't be scared off by the players like me that have thousands of hours. Always down to teach newbies.
you really need to play tremulous
Eww WOT 🤢

hey man it’s me warlock, from the castle miner bit! i was showing my friend the legendary game that castle miner z was while he was over at my apartment
Legend, man. How awesome of you to see this video! :D
The GOAT himself
You seem like a super wholesome guy. I'd play with you! Do you have a gaming channel 😊
LEGEND
Played a shit ton of this game myself as a ten year old . Was wild when I try to remember the name and now I finally have a reference to the badass Minecraft with ak47’s and demons from hell lol
I was in the room with my buddy (warlock) while he was playing this. He vividly remembered this exact experience I sent him the video
Tell Warlock he's THE GOAT
@@XxSoakCokexX will do
@@zaynethornton4135 THANK YOUUUUUU
What’s his Yt?
@@Vixevity He (warlock) commented as well, just a few up from this one, can't remember the name but you'll find him easy!
there should be a big charity event like games done quick but its just a big gathering of people to play dead games
thats a cool idea i would love to be interested in.
I was thinking it would be a cool idea for streamers to do something like that. "Hey guys, this Friday I'm gonna be playing *insert dead game here*. Feel free to download it and join the party." Granted, that would also be opening the door to griefing or stepping on the toes of the game's community 🤷♂
This is already a thing, most communities in these dead games host events where everyone hops on and play the game
@@collinmclaren6608Rye actually has hosted events like that before
Hold up Let him cook
Donating to that guy’s server made me cry
agreed
Nah, it was these onions. (I got your back, yo)
same bro
You guys should check out Shoubis servers if you're interested, he's a really cool dude. I've been playing DOI and Insurgency with him for a couple years now.
Stop it. If you cry over that you have sugar in the tank
That last bit where you accidentally became an investigative journalist was pretty funny.
Rye definitely found a money laundering scheme.
Definitely some kind of money laundering scheme, but who runs it? Very creative way to launder money though.
A damn good one too lol
I replied saying that this is money laundering, but my comment is gone? Replying again... that's probably a money laundering scheme. Create a "store" that sells bullshit at stupid prices and oh look, I have a successful business. It's not that my customers are actually ME, not at all.
"hey so I've been wondering what's the deal with your ga-" "THE IRS IS NEVER GOING TO CATCH ME ALIVE!" *-companies undergo mitosis several times*
Biggest role in game preservation actually play the developers themselves by allowing players to create their own dedicated and moderated servers, without relying on some weird rental or live-service gimmick.
What
fr.
@@shuriken2505 Think of CS 1.6 and CS:S that are still alive after 20+ years because they allow player-run dedicated servers. You think CoD Warzone or any other live-service game will be alive in 20 years? Most of them close down after 5 or so.
@harryshuman9637 yeah I get that but idk what your original comment was trying to say
@@shuriken2505 Rye said the biggest role in keeping the games going are the players, while its actually the devs who provide that ability to keep games alive for so long.
*"Do you know how crazy that is?"* *"I don't know how crazy that is."* *"But that's crazy.."* 10/10 😂
So how crazy is it?
@@rahmiakn1690 As crazy as crazy gets. I think...
@@thealmightybrick1393 omg that's crazy
to a 21yr old, yeah
Luyk here! Was nice playing with you, this was less than a week ago I think in Post .. I mean Squad 44. Come join us again some time! We will keep the game alive! We have a whole in house mod that is incredible and really changes the game up. Videos of it on this my channel.
Legend!!!
Postscriptum rocks :,(
I have a genuine question and i mean no hate. why do you play a dead game it seems sad to me, why not play a popular game, what do you find fun in it.
@@ulisesorozco7904 It's better than any other ww2 shooter in terms of a mix of milsim and fun. It's not really dead either. The realism community is hundreds of people and we have our own mod that we play on which makes the game even better. Also those sounds? Sound design in this better than anything else, period. We just love it.
@@ulisesorozco7904 A game is never dead as long you can still play it and have people to play it with. And if a community shrinks it usually gets better because people get closer. It's much harder to actually connect with people if you have hundreds of people in a lobby and fast hectic games.
It was super sweet of you to donate to x-ray to help keep his game alive. Keep doing what you're doing 🎉
Loved the video and thanks for including one of my clips! I’m hoping stuff goes into the right direction for Post Scriptum sorry “Squad 44”
Shut up
OH LOL Post Scriptum is a name I recognise, was wondering what people were referring to by saying “post-“
Videos like these make me reminisce about games I used to play online a decade or so ago that are probably dead if not offline now. Stuff like the Assassins Creed multiplayer, The Last of Us mulitplayer, and all of the old WWE games.
Assassins creed multiplayer was the shit though
The last of us still has a pretty healthy player base
Last of us is still active - Though I only ever played the remaster and not the of ps3 game
@@jacobtomlinson9219 Makes me wish I had a PS4 or PS5 sometimes. I was going to buy the PC version, but I read it doesn't include the multiplayer.
You're a legend for helping keep these old communities alive by donating my dude! Love to see it.
Used to spend hours upon hours on DOI back in 2019 and bought 2 friends the game. It was honestly one of the most underrated WW2 games in the past couple years IMO. Back in its prime when I used to play it had an average player count of roughly 700-900 players. It never was really a popular game but it was certainly a fun one.
Do you remember Ace of Spades? Forgotten Hope 2? AoS isn't sold anymore, you can't buy it, nor play it, but it used to be one of my fav games as a kid. Forgotten Hope 2 was amazing because big battlefield fan
Open Spades might be a good fit for a video, I don't think it has many players these days
FH2 is still being updated. I play single player with bots pretty often, it scratches a weird itch that no other game does
Dude ace of spades and open spades childhood memories
@@wookiewhat genuinely that’s what makes the game great. For some reason FH2 bots are still extremely fun to play with. Bf2 and the mods out of it were amazing
Bro this is legit one of the most wholesome channels on youtube. Keep doin what you do!
bro ngl this video got me emotional man, thank you dude. it's very generous of you even if you only think of it as 'just sponsor money', you could have pocketed all that shit & its really cool to see how tactfully you chose to not just do that with it.
Who knew you'd be Sherlock Holmes-ing a developer into defensive tactics just by wanting info on your dead games. Great video again Rye!
So hype to see another rye video Edit: I cant believe you played CastleMiner Z! Ive played it since i was 11. Surprise nostalgia.
Castle miner z was the best thing since sliced bread
@FanetoMussolini💀💀💀
Playing Day of Infamy was a blast. Looking back in my Steam library, last played 2019. Didn't realise it had been so long. Dunkirk was a blast, one of my favourites along with Foy. I remember being the last guy defending Dunkirk (I can't remember the game mode, invasion maybe?) and managing to clutch out a 20+ kill streak to win it. I liked all the maps and they were usually pretty full, never had problems finding a match. Brittany always felt like an actual clusterfuck lol, flamethrowers just bursting out of walls or round corners
I frequently play Squad44 (previously Post Scriptum) and almost always play Logistics on there. I've seen all the stages of development the game has gone through over the many years, both the positives and the negatives. Even with some of the updates a lot of folks disagree with, the game has one of the most tight nit communities I've ever been involved in. A lot of the same regulars will typically get on most nights and just have a ton of fun. Its very rare to meet someone that won't be overly helpful to new players or encourage you to try your best without getting mad at you. Squad44 is an absolute gem of a game and I'm glad you were able to cover it. ♥ P.S. - My Logistics team built that FOB you spawned at 19:52, likely that was me dead on the ground from a sniper that was shooting us under the radar 😂
RIP
And I'm the quiet female you'll always see tagging along behind JMM either as his Infantry Radio'man' or as his Logi sidekick... dying often and killing few, but keeping the rally refreshed and digging my little heart out. :D
Tan comander and sometimes squad leader, you guys do gods works on the battlefield
@lepeep7220 There's females that enjoy these MP wwII games? Good for you, homegirl.
@MooncricketsInc 💯
These videos have sent me down nostalgia lane, reconnecting with old games of ages' past. It would be PHENOMENAL if you covered Tremulous, that was a game me and my siblings grew up playing extensively! It holds such a community-based, lost section of my heart that I will always cherish
Your an absolute legend donating to keep those servers up. The gaming community is seriously a special place.
I've been using youtube as my primary form of entertainment for over 15 years now. You are easily one of my favorite creators at the moment. I always click on your videos when I see them. Keep up the great work!
Wow that atomic fabric dev story is wild. Well done Rye. Never stop these videos ❤
Massive respect for donating to the Day of Infamy server hosting
"oh bloody hell rye you are playing?" that there is pure happiness and excitment to hear someone you knew long ago and had fun with, legend
Just a congrats on 250k, luckily, the algorithm blessed me with your content early on, 10k or so. Legit, some of the best gaming content, been wild to see big KZheadrs doing the ‘exploring empty games’ thing. You’ll be at 1m in no time!
Hello Enlisted players! On enlisted there is a custom game/server mode, it would be fun if more of us would join them because we're mostly 20 playing them so its kinda boring, but the maps and the mods are insane: Modern Conflict Extended maps and many more! Have a good day guys! ❤ Ah and if you're not an Enlisted player give it a try, it's a free squad managing WW2 fps. I find it very immersive!
Going on about server owners for smaller servers and how important they are kinda made my day, in another world I run a server for a smaller/dying game and it takes so much work, time and resources to keep it running even just for the 10-20 players each day. It's worth it! XD
Good video mate. Glad you reinvested your own money to keep some of these games going. They aren't my cup of tea, but it's good to know good people are still out there.
I'm exploring videos uploaded so soon they only have 4 views. This is how my journey began.

Assault cube from what I know of is the main game most game hacking tutorials use to help rookies learn a bit of everything. So please be careful if you decide to play it, I have no idea what kind of exploits people have found.
I am more of a PS2 console guy. I have been since late 2000. Before that, starting in 1997, I was a computer gamer. I tried cellphone games but am really annoyed with all of the ads they make a person watch and, for that reason, I rarely play a cellphone game. Your channel appeals to me because I love how you present your videos and, believe me or not, they are fun and insightful videos to watch which I really love. 🤗🤗 Just felt to share my thoughts since I had some time on my hands.
These are some of the few videos I actually look forward to as soon as I actually notice that they're there I click them. I love what you doing man. Keep it up
Around 2011 - 2012 I loved Assault Cube, but the community was so sweaty I have always resort to tricks to get some kills at the age of 11.
Rye, your videos always make me super nostalgic in such a good way. I used to play crysis 3 multiplayer back in like 2014 and 2015, only the infantry mode not that nanosuit mode tho. I was too good at the time along with some guy named charizard, we would drop 80 to 100+ kills every match and use the text chat to talk and goof off. In late 2015 i got banned from every active server because they all thought i was cheating. Your videos always make me remember charizard, god i pray hes doing well in life
Dude you're awesome to not only donate to these but give them light so hopefully they'll continue on, and Adam seems like a legend
Castle Miner Z was my childhood man! So many good memories on that game because Minecraft wasn’t there on Xbox at the time. It was awesome! Thanks for the memories man!
10:36 "Meadow", the Kingdom track you play during the Day of Infamy section is so good! my fav track from the Kingdom series
I am not sure if you'll see this, but I have to say it's very wholesome and really sweet to see you donate to them. There is something really nice how comparably little money goes such a long way to keep these small groups of friends and their loved "dead" game to keep going. It feels like you're keeping a friend of theirs on life support where everybody else has kind of moved on and given up. It's like if you knew there are 20 people who could continue to play a game for a year and all you had to spend was 200 dollars? Sure, it's money they could throw together but still. It's a worthwhile gesture and deed.
im only up through day of infamy but youre a wholesome dude man, giving these fine people some cash to keep these old games chugging along. its something i wish i had a bit more spare cash to do, some of these old games are timeless
I used to play assault cube from 2009-2014. The game was amazing for a free game. It’s a really competitive game. I enjoyed the sniper osok servers. And the modding community was thriving. With those parkour maps you described. So much fun, so much variety, for a free game any pc, mac and linux can run. I played on Mac, so my choices for fps shooters were limited. I played cod4, assault cube, and aoe3 on mac
Holy shit you just unlocked some memories for me. I remember playing assault cube LAN in the computer class because we could run it off a usb sticks
i love watching these vids dude, some games don't deserve the fate that was brought onto them, and then you proceed to help them out and donate and keep the game alive, i love it! keep up the work rye, much love :)
That's great of you to donate to support the servers. Well done. I have Day of Infamy in my library. I should actually play it. 😆
Bro you literally slapped me in the face with nostalgia when you put Assault Cube at the beginning. I used to go around my friends house with my laptop and we would do 1v1s on Assault Cube all night!
I played Assault Cube in high school. I remember taking it on a flash drive to my BCIS 2 class. We all would play different games together, and for a few days, it was Assault Cube.
Its insane that you support this small community love it please moreee of this :D
i remember having an xbox live friend that would speedrun castle miner z with me, on xbox 360. we sped ran it so many times and had so much fun doing it together. I hope he's doing well and, unfortunately, idr anything about how to speed run it. i only remember the amazing memories i made with him. edit: i forgot to add how amazing you are for being so generous and supporting these dead games, the way you have been. you're an absolute legend
Always love it when I see a new one of these videos from you, some of the coolest wholesome content on the platform
The best part about castle miner z on the 360 was you got to play as your Xbox avatar, we had a golden master chief assassins creed characters all running around with aks and stuff man those were some wild times. Thank you for the nostalgia trip!
so awesome of you to help keep these games going! 🎉❤
the music in the backround is so well chosen i could watch that for hours
Loving this series!
very sweet of u to donate to those guys man, cheers
Loving this series so much! Hope you do more of these!
I love your Dead Game vids so much. Please please please keep em coming!!!
I like how you always remain calm and friendly towards the players left in the dying games. Personally, I play Day of Infamy here and there, and it's a pity the developers don't care for a second game.
Not sure if you done it yet, but might wanna give APB: Reloaded whirl, at least the NA servers are down to handfuls. Anyway great video! Love to see the donations to help keep these people’s favorites alive, keep up the good work!
Really cool of you to donate to the server hosts.
This is one of my favorite channels and I'm happy you keep making these videos.
Played AssaultCube and Cube 2: Sauerbraten a ton as a kid, redownloaded like yesterday, and BAM, here's your video hahaha
Such a combination of sad and wholesome at the same time. Sad that the games are dead but wholesome because of the few amazing people that remain. So happy/proud you were able to help create and keep some servers going with a little ad money. Thank you for doing what you do:)
Oh man, I remember playing Assault Cube back when I was like 12. Glad to see it is still up.
Congrats on 250k subs!
Little advice.... whenever doing a frame perfect trick/glitch lower your fps. The frames are tied to the hz..lowering it giving you more time to do the input on time eith the frame.
you're the GOAT for donating to those servers Rye. as always love your videos
I used to play assault cube a ton in middle school then again when my PC broke a few years ago and only had a super old mac to play on. Great game
Bro Rye here looking for dead games, ends up creating the next Karl Jobst video xD (great job on supporting the true gamers that keep those games alive!)
Man castle miner Z gives me so much nostalgia. Me and my friends played countless hours on Xbox 360. I just remember hopping in the party and joining their worlds.
I love the ocarina of time title theme just playing in the background one of my favorite game tracks honestly
thanks for these videos, they give me good vibes to see these old game :D thanks for beeing such a good guy and donating to these legends :)
Thank you for doing Assault Cube. Brings back good memories
I love watching these. They give such a unique indescribable and thought provoking experience. Loneliness, the human condition, camaraderie, who we are as individuals, nostalgia etc. Hahaha perhaps a lot deeper than intended
you are the coolest youtuber ever man finished my work week and started my weekend with your video, thank you
The 1FPS thing that happened in Squad 44 happens in Squad as well (or at least it did when I used to play it), just an OWI thing I guess. Also there are some more sourcemods you might want to check out that used to be a lot of fun: Sourceforts, Eternal Silence, Zombie Master, Dystopia, etc. Some good goldsrc ones too like The Specialists and "Science and Industry".
these kinds of videos are awesome, thank you for making them
Dude i played castle miner z religiously as a kid, me and my friends at the time collected the best guns (bloodstone ?) And made the trek all the way to the end of the world where the giant border wall was. Honestly a core memory for my adolescent self. It took so much preparation, because if i remember right you couldnt set your spawn points so if you died you went all the way back to spawn.
Rye, I can't express how wholesome it is to see you be able to support the legends you meet in this journey of discovering dead games. ❤
the castle miner z sound effects are so scary 😭i remember playing this all the time just meeting random people and telling my friends about it
Seeing you playing CastleMiners Z with random people actually felt like you were "reuniting" with old friends you used to play with long time ago. There's something charming in "dead games" where in some places they don't feel dead at all. With all fairness I think that game can be a proper alternative to Minecraft if they devs wouldn't have ditched it. It's basically Minecraft with guns and more enemies but that's a fairly neat idea for a game.
How did you miss soldner secret wars? It was released in like 2002, got dropped by the original devs and now is community run with max 30 players at peak times. Used to play it with my dad when I was a kid. I still go back to visit it from time to time
Castle Miner Z brought back so many forgotten memories with friends from a different time. Thank you ♥️
i just stumbled upon your channel, since then i cant stop watching all your videos.
Your a legend man! keep helping out the small communities
Singlehandled my favorite series on the internet. Thankyou so much internet stranger for your videos 🙌
I remember playing Assault cube in highschool, our it teacher installed it in the computers of the it classroom and organised games when we had nothing to do
Not gonna lie, I started the video, haven't ventured past the first game so far. Assault cube was my jam for a long time and is still a game I go back to every once in awhile. Wonderful game when you are playing with friends! Can feel almost like old LAN party games when you get a few friends to play it!
I remember assault cube back in 2017-2019 I didn’t have a great setup back then playing on my 2011 mac and wanted to play Csgo but I couldn’t because of how bad the frames where SOOO I PLAYED ASSAULT CUBE and lemme tell you this game was hella fun I’d get all my friends to download it and we would play on our laptops on a lan server, this video brought back so many memories and I’m glad the game is still alive to some extent 💜
Grew up on Indie games. Absolutely loved Castleminer Z, was one of the first ever games I played and got addicted to. Still play it today. Got a lot of time on it.
My friend bought castle miner for me on PC to play with them, it was pretty nostalgic, used to play it on xbox
My god Assault Cube brought back some memories. It's all me and my homie played back then since A: no money and B: awful PC Thanks for opening that box
Man, I remember playing castleminer Z with the boys. Rushing out to the furthest areas possible. Don’t remember how we even got the upgraded. Guns but holy the nostalgia
I was watching your videos the other day and always thought assault cube would be a great candidate - used to play that loads as a kid!
Thx for the video, I can't help but feeling nostalgic while watching it :')
Man, i remember setting up Assault Cube LAN parties in any class that gave us access to computers back in high school. Definitely worth nearly getting held back 3 times.
Just commenting to get this Video in the algorithm more. If rye sees this, love how you make the best of all the dead games and love your subtle comedy that always gives me a giggle 👌👌👍👍
Legit made me feel like my continual support of the channel (in the form of liking, sharing, and subscribing) and viewership meant something and it's not everyday this feeling happens from watching KZhead videos.
Rye singlehandedly bring the new wind to very humble but small communities, mad respect
