Popular Old Facebook Games We Used to Play

Facebook has been around for a long time now and has evolved many times over the years. Back in the day, it was even a platform for online games. Those were the days that we didn’t even bother if our feeds and timelines were full of gaming notifications or requests. So for today, let’s try to reminisce about those remarkable games that have been part of our Facebook journey!

FarmVille

Is there anyone on Facebook in 2010 who doesn’t know what FarmVille is? This is definitely one of the most popular games way back then! FarmVille is a fun game that lets players cultivate their farms by plowing, planting, and harvesting crops and trees. Players may also take care of their farm animals, milk their cows and collect eggs from their chickens. Initially launched by Zynga in 2009, the game has been running for 11 years now. However, after its long years of operation, its game developer has announced to close its doors on December 31, 2020.

Pet Society

Perhaps one of the reasons why we started using Facebook is the Pet Society. The game, as the name hints, was ideally made for animal lovers. This game has shown the cuteness of virtual pet players used to dress up, play with, and take good care. Not just that, but players could design their pets by choosing genders, names, colors, and changing appearances. Pet Society was developed by Playfish and Electronic Arts in 2008 and has ended service in 2013.

Pet Ville

Another virtual pet game is Pet Ville, developed by Zynga in Similar to Pet Society; the game lets players get to care for a pet, customize its look, decorate its home, and more. Pet Ville has bid goodbye in 2012, along with other Zynga games.

Restaurant City was a Facebook gaming application developed by Playfish in 2009. The goal of the game was to run a restaurant to attract more customers and to level up. Players enjoyed serving a delicious menu, decorating the restaurant’s interior and exterior, and engaging with different situations. The game ended its operation in 2012.

Nightclub City

Before most of us turned into party people, there was a Facebook game called Nightclub City. It is a game established by Booyah in 2010 that lets players manage their personal bar. The nightclub was filled with a wide selection of real-life music tracks. Players could also customize their nightclubs’ look with various decorative items to transform it into the most popular club destination. Nightclub City has stopped running in 2014.

Icy Tower is a game developed by Free Lunch Design in 2001 and has arrived on Facebook in 2009. Players may get to personalize their avatars, compare their results with their friends, and unlock additional game levels. As for the exciting part, the floor changes depending on the player’s progress.

Backyard Monsters is a game launched by Kixeye in 2010 that allows players to create, control, and defend a base filled with monsters in their own backyard. It is one of the longest-running Facebook games we solidly enjoy. However, the game will also say goodbye as other facebook flash games will be shutting down on December 31, 2020.
