I still remember when my cousin first showed me this game, it was still in alpha and I think I costed like 2USD. He told me how cool it was and innovative but all I saw was the terrible graphics. Then I uttered the worst take of my life: "yeah, I don't think this will go anywhere. I doubt people will want to play this much". I have never been so wrong in my entire life.

Welcome. Some of us are old enough to remember when the only relevant spec in video games were bits.

Honestly I thought it was longer. The time when I first played it seems like a lifetime ago.

I honestly thought it was older than that.

I was sure the game came out before my 20s but I looked it up and you're right.

Damn.

I still remember playing the creative-only browser version for hours on end...

Edit: I miss the original sponges. Just place, and all water around it is permanently kept at bay. No drying needed. They made for some interesting water features.

I know the exact day I was made aware of Minecraft, Sept. 17th, 2010, because it was from this Penny Arcade comic:

I never got into it, though. I prefer games with more structure.

Oh god, and I was not exactly young when I played it for the first time

Halo is almost a quarter century.

Wolfenstein is 30ish

Now, imagine how us Gen-Xers who grew up with Karateka or Epic Games feel.

I thought "came out" was when the game left the Beta stage (that was in 2011 during Minecon btw). In that logic, it's only really 12 years ago.

But since Minecraft officially considers itself to be 15, I'd say I stand corrected.

Feels like much longer.

It's been 66 years since Tennis For Two.

Me realizing terraria came out 72 years ago

My realizing I'm getting closer to 30.

😂😂

Unreal Tournament 1998/1999 GOTY was a better game and came out a decade earlier.
