the weird forgotten world of xbox indie games

Bro was the leader of the clan but not YouTube

Castleminer Z and Total Miner were some of my most treasured childhood memories, and I wish somebody would kind of like bring them back in some way Edit: I appreciate everyone who let me know it was on Steam, I did not this at the time, and that's really cool to know.

It’s sad that Xbox doesn’t really use avatars in games anymore. Even the new avatars, I’ve hardly seen any game use them. I remember seeing a few XBLA games utilizing them

The xbox avatar at this point is a relic of a kinder past. Theyre still there but not in the spotlight anymore let alone even seen on the new consoles

Real ones continued to play castle miner Z even after minecraft was on Xbox

I remember playing ApocZ and barley running into people what's so weird is also remember meeting someone one day looting stuff and getting a car it was such a blast a core memory of my childhood ill never forget those days

i'm actually thankful i got to grow up with the 360 it truly was the golden age of gaming

Castle Crashers, I MAED A GAEM WITH ZOMBIES 1N 1T, White Noise Online and Doritos Crash Course were top tier arcade/indie games

I miss the Doritos Dash of Destruction game where you either played as a car trying to hit checkpoints or a dinosaur trying to eat the car. Used to play that with my young cousins (5-7) because I didnt have a lot of appropriate games for kids.

Oh how I miss the Xbox indie marketplace. If I log onto my 360 right now, my library is full to the brim with Xbox indie and arcade games.

I forget if it was indie or arcade, but I loved a game called Beat Hazard. What it did was, you could scan in your music CDs and it used the tracks as levels of a twin stick space shooter. So when the music got heavier more enemies would appear. It wasn't perfect but the idea came across clear, and it had more structure like mini boss fights and such, and it gauged the difficulty rating. Also the beam from your ship pulsated with the music, so it felt like the music was your weapon. The great thing was it worked with any song so the gameplay was endless. A great offshoot of the Guitar Hero music game revolution, and it got an upgrade in Ultra Beat Hazard. I think it would work just as well now as it did then.

Oh my god I hope they talk about that one village management game where your avatar was a giant. That game was a core memory. Edit: A Kingdom for Klefflings!! Haha no way, you guys even talked about ApocZ. Great research guys, this vid brought back so many memories.

Best indie game was definitely I MADE A GAME WITH ZOMBIES IN IT. Then Castle Miner Z in 2nd, Total Miner Forge in 3rd, and Murder Miners in 4th. For most of the 360's lifetime, I MADE A GAME WITH ZOMBIES IN IT was the highest rated indie game then the last year or 2 of the 360's life Castle Miner Z passed it even though it didn't have near the number of reviews.

Total miner was so much more then a Minecraft clone. It had rpg elements, shop blocks, had to find blue prints to craft new things, skills. I miss total miner

I miss these days. Everything felt much more social back then. A far cry from what we have today on Xbox

My xbox 360 avatar is still my profile picture and its kinda blurry lmaoooo. im glad it carried over and I don't have the heart to change it.

Daaamn, I forgot all about Avatar Warfare. Never got to play it as I was at a friend's house back in the day. This is a nostalgia trip.

This is honestly the only channel that has videos more than 20 mins that I actually enjoy and fully watch. Love the channel and content.

Murder Miners is still available on modern Xbox platforms, and Steam. It's great. And they're working on a sequel Murder Miners X

Absolutely wild to see Speedrunners introduced as "this other game" at 3:24 when now it's a full and popular party game that was a hit with the YouTube greats in the 2010s
