Reminiscing on how kids of the 80s, 90s and 00s can all get games of their respective times via emulation and piracy, but anything inside Roblox is likely to be inaccessible when present day kids become adults and look back with nostalgia

    I’d be shocked if someone didn’t find a way to back up Roblox similar to how people did with old Flash games.

    That said, when I checked it out again last year, a lot of the games on it were basically the same low effort copy and paste trash as when I originally played back in 2008, so I’d also imagine the vast majority of stuff on it really doesn’t need to be archived unless you’re trying to be a completionist lol

      I’m not familiar with how roblox serves games and items, but flash was significantly easier to backup because it was a single file that you could download and run locally.

        You might be right. That said, I’ve typically learned not to underestimate nerds with too much free time
