You'll probably like this short series on fy_iceworld if you haven't seen it already: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-legacy-of-fy_iceworld-c...

But yes, I was never really a 1.6 player but I felt the same way about Garry's Mod maps. Joining a random server and seeing the maps and assets download and never really knowing what you were going to spawn into... it was wonderfully weird in a way that reminds me of the individuality of the Old Internetâ„¢. It might be nostalgia talking but there's some crispness and snappiness to the Source engine that games these days don't quite have.

I think there is still a huge market for this stuff.

An entire shooter based solely upon the principles of fy_iceworld & gun game would wipe the floor with most other AAA titles on offer right now.

Would they? Gun game has been an official game mode is CS for a long time, 2 of the maps follow the same layout fy_iceworld. COD had/has it as well.

I've even stumbled upon fy_pool_day recreation in Roblox.

Almost anything your nostalgia can think of is available "current" games like Fortnite and Roblox.

I'm pretty sure Roblox replicates this feeling
