I know 1.7.10, 1.8.9, and 1.12.2 exist. I'm not sure the story behind them, I just know they are common versions people like to play still. 1.8.9 for PvP and Hypixel and 1.12.2 for 2b2t. I'm not sure about 1.7.10 though.

I mean it has been out for over 7 years now. https://howoldisminecraft189.today/

I would be wary of key resellers. They often use means to acquire the keys that actually hurt the developers. Developers have even gone as far as to encourage pirating their games or even release their own DRM free versions of their games in extreme cases just to avoid people buying from key resellers.

You should. He's done very entertaining stuff around Raspberry Pis and other fun projects.

I answered. Most of my concerns with the survey have been addressed in other comments. Regardless I hope it leads to good results.

 

Since this community is new I wanted to spark some discussion.

I've been a fan for years and used to frequent forums for the series back in the day. I learned about Metroid from a friend back when I was in elementary school (probably around 2004-2006 I honestly can't remember). I played Fusion and eventually Zero Mission on my GBA.

When I was in middle school I learned about Super Metroid ROM Hacks and watched tons of let's plays of them back then. Eventually I got Super Metroid myself on Wii VC and got to play a bit myself.

After that I didn't branch out too much. I only really played Prime 1 and did play AM2R when that released. I still enjoy coming back to the series though.

What's your experience?

Fusion was also my first, but I played it on the GBA. I still have my original cart for it and will sometimes play it on a modded GBA. Although having it on my hacked 3DS is also convenient too.

As for Zero Mission and AM2R, both are fun. Zero Mission is a bit hand holdy for the first playthrough, but if you explore a bit or look up guides you can ignore the waypoints and sequence break the game. AM2R is fairly linear because of the nature of Metroid 2, but that doesn't detract from it being one of my favorite Metroid experiences.

I personally like the Plasma Beam a bit more, but the Wave Beam is probably a close second.

Interesting, I wasn't aware of the timeline. Thanks for the clarification.

GNU's Hurd was supposed to be this iirc. That clearly hasn't gotten far and hasn't been progressing quickly.

Hey, this is a great video. I decided to watch it and it's worth it for sure even if you don't need to watch it for his intended purpose. Thanks for sharing.
