    Uses the same programming language kinda (Lua) and with all the new updates on Roblox (r15 avatar, people importing meshes and cars) it really is the same especially for roleplay purposes.

    While Garry's Mod allows for extensive modding and creative physics sandbox play, it is not a game development platform like Roblox is. Roblox itself is not a game which strongly separates it from Garry's Mod.

    Programming is in the same language, players can develop games and share them with others through the platform.

    It's not as complex as Roblox, which means faster map creation. Therefore, there's always more to play!

    Roblox is a game development engine while LEGO worlds is a purely LEGO sandbox restricted to LEGO parts only. Roblox allows the user to freely model anything they wish (within constraints of the game engine) and allows for programming of games. Roblox games can also be shared on the Roblox website.

    This is literally roblox from 2007-2011, except it is open source and self hosted. While there are other old-roblox launchers, this has the most reputation.

    Novetus is an open-source archive of early ROBLOX builds. You can insert rblx files and either try them by yourself or self-host a server to play it with others. If you want an alternative to ROBLOX, like the style of old ROBLOX, and don't like the alternatives on the market, then this is for you.

    This is mainly a revival of old Roblox but it's perfect and very accurate, it has 2007-2011 but has 2013-2015 coming soon, can't wait.

    Blockland is a LEGO inspired building sandbox while Roblox is a game development platform not restricted to Blockland's small list of blocky parts and style, not to mention Roblox allows LUA scripting while Blockland uses a simple and restrictive events system. Blockland has also been abandoned by its creator and lacks content, relying on the modding community to make it last more than an hour or so.
