The gentleman that made this game started taking orders through Paypal a couple years ago. He made so much money so fast that Paypal froze his account!
This game is called Minecraft.
Minecraft is a game about placing blocks to build anything you can imagine. At night monsters come out, make sure to build a shelter before that happens.
You can play without monsters in Peaceful Mode. You can play Single-Player or play Multiplayer. The crafting combines aren't very difficult but collecting the ingredients can be.
Each world is your own... it is randomly generated or can be 'seeded' with a code that allows two different players to play the exact same world. Other than randomly generated NPC villages and strongholds with dungeons, there are no other 'man-made' structures. Everything you see here is player-made.
The lighting engine is top of the line and overshadows the game's blocky look. Each block represents 1 meter.
Yes-that was a 1:1 model of the Starship Enterprise D from Star Trek.
It can be modified extensively and the creator has added quite a few features that started as community modifications.
People have created functioning emulators of Frogger, a 16-Bit CPU and GPU with screen, entire cities, roller coasters, you name it.
The game is still in Beta, but since the code freeze the release date of Nov. 28th seems solid. Bethesda Software sued the creator's company over a trademark name for an unrelated future game.
I've been along for most of the ride and this is what I play when I want to unwind fishing or farming... or scare my own pants off with spooky monsters. Although it can never replace the complexity of a game like EQ, this is, in my humble opinion, one of the best computer games ever made. The demo is Creative Mode. Try it out sometime.
