Tornado Alley ROBLOX​ is a tornado simulator game by 1billybob1. Considered a classic game by some, this place was created on August 17, 2009  and is frequently updated to this day. With approximately 19.1 million place visits as of January 14, 2021, Tornado Alley has gained 234,500 user favorites with a fairly positive upvote rating.

However, to veterans of the series, Tornado Alley ROBLOX is seen as the worst entry to the series, due to the lackluster of maps, gamemodes, music, and roleplay messages. Even 1billybob1 saw Tornado Alley ROBLOX as a not-great game himself. As a result, he decided to work on a new entry to the series, Tornado Alley Ultimate, which received great feedback from newcomers and veterans of the series.

On January 12, 2021, Tornado Alley ROBLOX has closed down. This is because of Europe's GDPR regulations, where individuals can request to have their data removed. As a result, 1billybob1 received 5-10 requests every day. And due to Tornado Alley ROBLOX's outdated code, it makes it very tedious to remove player's data. Instead of keeping it up, 1billybob1 decided to shut down the game for good.

When trying to play the game now, you'll be redirected to Tornado Alley Ultimate, meaning that those who try to play Tornado Alley ROBLOX would be forced to play the latest entry instead.

However, an earlier version of Tornado Alley ROBLOX (nicknamed as ROBLOX: Tornado Alley) reopened in April 17 of 2020. This was praised by fans, because many see RTA as "the better version of Tornado Alley ROBLOX".

​Gameplay [ROBLOX Tornado Alley]
The way this game works is simple - survive the tornado(s). In the beginning, players are spawned in a large lobby. The lobby includes an obby course, spinner jump, and spleef with a room containing the leaderboards and VIPs. As the game progresses, players can complete the obstacle course to earn 15 points. Points can be used to buy gears though the gears only last when the player leaves the game. In the store GUI, players also have the option to buy Upgrades and extra points.

There are unique bonus features available like "Normal Round" and "Zombie Round".

Before players are spawned, a GUI appears giving them the option to vote their preferred map.

After players are spawned, they are spawned in their chosen map. They are then told to look at the top of the screen, showing roleplay messages which may be helpful to the player. The roleplay messages are based on a news cast. A few seconds will pass before a siren could be heard and a message warning players of the upcoming weather, or tornado. Therefore, for a minute and a half, players must survive for 50+ points. Throughout maps are drivable cars which may prove helpful for their survival.

​Gamepasses
Currently, there are only three passes for this game. The cost and description is shown below. External links for the passes will be available at the end of this page in the External links​ header.
 * Tornado Alley VIP​: 80 ROBUX When you buy this VIP, you are special. You are looked up to by other players, and YOU, yes YOU are known to royalty.
 * ​Tornado Alley UBER VIP​: 140 ROBUX Only the most elite, intense, striving, and overall die hard survivalists have the power to possess this game-pass. As the normal VIP members brag of their royalty, you stand their laughing at them, because YOU know what royalty really is. With great power, comes great responsibility. Enjoy.
 * ​Premium Disasters Gamepass​: 230 ROBUX This gamepass will allow you to summon bonus disasters that are locked for non-owners of this gamepass. You will still have to pay to use the premium disasters, but they will be unlocked and you'll be able to do so.

As of April 18, 2021, these gamepasses have been discontinued. However, if you own the ELITE PLAYER gamepass in Tornado Alley Ultimate, you'll get all of the gamepasses perks. This means that not only you get the perks in this game, but ALSO in Tornado Alley Ultimate.

​Badges
There are seven available badges with most quite simple to obtain.
 * ​5 Survival: If you have this badge, it obviously means you're a great survivalist and know what to do during a Tornado. Or you just had luck.
 * ​​10 Survivals!: If you seriously somehow achieved this badge, you deserve a medal. But instead, you get this badge.
 * ​Struck by Lightning: Post how you got struck! Ouch! I guess superheroes don't get powers from lightning, instead, they get a free phone recharge!
 * ​50 Survivals!: Wow!
 * ​100 Survivals!: zOMG
 * ​500 Survivals!: WOW!
 * ​1000 Survivals!: You are the god at Tornado surviving.
