I remember playing the original java 8 version of this game back in 2011 when it was freely distributed. I was 17/18 at the time so felt I was slightly too old for it but I do remember the sensation of playing something which felt completely novel.

Kind of crazy how much gaming has changed since then while minecraft remains a java executable.

It wasn't a little kids game until years later. Also I think it's old enough that the early versions were actually Java 6... I remember updating my code for Java 7.
