Here’s a throwback to the first Roblox game ever and how it compares to the ones we see now.

Rocket Arena: the first Roblox game ever

Rocket Arena is the first Roblox game ever. It’s an original game developed by Roblox and a few years back, ‘Classic’ was added to the name and it’s now called Classic: Rocket Arena.

The game’s release date is as early as January 2006 and it remained relevant for almost a decade. It was a free for all fighting game and could be the inspiration behind a plethora of other games in the genre.

Players could use jets and rockets and blow-up bridges to win games in Rocket Arena. Falling into the lava spelled death, and the game was as chaotic as it sounds.

Rocket Arena, as the first Roblox game ever, amassed almost 2 million visits before an update broke it. In 2015, the in-game tools stopped functioning properly and the game basically became unplayable.

In 2017, the developers officially shut down Rocket Arena and it is unlikely that we’ll ever see it back. Obviously, there are a ton of remakes on Roblox but none of them will recreate the legacy of the original game.

The oldest game on Roblox that is still playable

Back in November 2006, Roblox user ‘amanda’ created a game called Experience Gravity and yes, it is exactly what the name suggests. You jump off a baseplate and experience gravity.

Surprisingly, at the time of writing, this game still has some active users. It has managed to hit 15 million visits, which is a huge accomplishment as well.

Rocket Arena and Experience Gravity might not be the best Roblox games ever, but they certainly deserve credit for paving the way for others.
