zoomer nostalgia thread

Pissllennial derailment in 3, 2, 1....

>>713319272 (OP)
>alpha
zoomers didn't start playing minecraft until bedrock/console editions were released

>>713320250
This isn't zoomer is it? I started playing guitar thanks to this game and I'm 30, can already play every song in it with a real guitar, good times

>>713320728
zoomer is 1997-2012, the oldest zoomer would likely be 8 during this time. So they would definitely atleast played it.

>>713320728
It is
>and I'm 30
Zoomers are 29

>>713320728
>I'm 30
you are the youngest possible millennial

>>713320715
>LET ME TELL YOU WHAT MEDIA YOU GREW UP WITH
Fuck off 90s big boy

>>713320948
late zoomer slop, more of an alpha thing

>>713320687
beautiful kino...

>>713321054
being nostalgic for fucking minecraft is ok but not a game that came out 5 years before it?

>>713319272 (OP)
Oh man it's absolutely fucked how fast I recognised the X-System.
I remember that he'd mostly finished the original series by the time I found out about it and I spent some days watching all of it. When he got to this episode I was sold but in hindsight its a very quant build.

When I was younger though I thought this was the coolest thing ever.

>>713319272 (OP)
>Minecraft Alpha
That's late millennial nostalgia. I am 32, and was 16 when I played alpha minecraft. The feels are real, I miss that mysterious lonely feeling it used to have.
>>713320728
Same, bro, although I quickly went the classical route instead of rock/metal
>tfw no flamenco hero vidya gaem

I feel bad for zoomers. They really did grow up with the absolute worst slop imaginable.

>>713320728
Congrats, you just realized that generalizing people based on which FIFTEEN fucking year timeframe they were born in is utter retardation

Being a 97 zoomer is weird because I like most millenial things but I cant stand millenials and their faggot personalities, funko pops, and their prevalent usage of reddit. I don't relate to younger zoomers either because I can't keep up with their brain rot.

Grew up with snes all the way to xbox 360. Very grateful to have gotten to play every console that came out in those years and experienced a lot of good games. Very fond of early/mid 2000's. Can't stand most new games, on the bright side being extremely nostalgic again recently I found out a lot of old games are $1-$10 now.

>>713320715
I started on Classic because I was poor and watched the Yogscast play alpha. Then I learned what piracy was and played beta.

>>713321252
Miss when Roblox games used to look like utter dogshit

>>713321968
why are millennials so obsessed with zoomers?

>>713322117
No, what I've realized is that I can still get prime zoomer (18) pussy because they're from MY gen

God I am old as fuck

>>713320715
>Until bedrock
Retard, we played release in the early 2010s.

>>713322352
it still looks like utter dogshit but atleast it had soul and didn't have billions of players

>>713322285
Nobody will know how cozy it was to be a kid and go into ToysRUs to see the gamecube section naturally lit by a soft skylight and playing whatever demos they had on it at the time. So sad that local ToysRUs shutdown because no other store had such a chill vibe

>>713319550
Roblox?
I remember them removing the default house

>>713321775
>was 16 when I played alpha minecraft.
minecraft was for 10 year olds which would put them at 26 in zoomer range

>>713323117
>I remember them removing the default house
every removed almost everything from the old days. the only thing left is whatever old hats they haven't taken off the catalog

>>713323219
sorry for strokeposting

>>713323125
It was quite a few years before I saw any kids playing it and I first heard of it on /v/ (yes I was underage b& I lurked and never posted for a couple years)

what were some game parodies you watched as a kid?

>>713321252
>Umaru's show came out a full decade ago

Unfortunately cant relate to zoomers who played Roblox, I only played that for the first time last year. Must be a young zoomer thing because nobody I grew up with was into roblox or cared about it. Minecraft however I remember pirating that around a year after its conception I was hooked on that game for years java and xbox 360 version but something about it now does not hold my attention anymore.

>>713322285
'95 millennial here.
Same problems, same likes, but playstation and PC.
Realised it's not just one generation that has faggot personalities. Hate most people. Current politics bad.

>>713323843
I only played because of the Yogscast and because there was a community.
I never actually liked it.

>>713323567
YOU TAKE THAT BACK RIGHT NOW

i remember getting onto coolmathgames in the school library and it had porn ads. luckily i closed it before anyone saw

we were old enough to get into the mobile game craze. what was your go-to mobile game? I was an angry birds kid but in retrospect I probably liked PvZ a lot more.

>>713324014
>it's not just one generation that has faggot personalities
Agreed.

>Hate most people
Somehwat agree. I don't hate people but I don't like to be around or speak with most of them.

>Current politics bad
Indifferent to politics. Not a fence sitter but I don't care to discuss it with others.

>I only played because of the Yogscast
Now that makes me feel old. I still remember when people found out the hardway fire in minecraft can burn wood and watched a guy lose his entire house trying to put the fire out. Good times.

>>713323843
it was where I got my first FPS experience outside of my brother's console games shortly before discovering TF2
good times

>>713319272 (OP)
I was called a millenial until I was an adult
Now I'm squarely a "zoomer" apparently ('97)
I would have been 13ish when minecraft came out, right? How the hell would a zoomer be expected to be nostalgic for that? Alternatively, why am I always labeled a zoomer? It's so dumb
I get mad every time I see the term nowadays just because it keeps getting pushed back further every time I see it. I've even seen people call people who grew up with an n64 or ps1 a zoomer.

>>713324573
I'm also from 97 and I refuse to be grouped with m*llenials

>How the hell would a zoomer be expected to be nostalgic for that
I'm nostalgia for shit from 5 years ago, there's no hard limit

>>713324489
Unfortunately missed the TF2 hype train that was REALLY strong among my generation. Started to notice a trend of annoying people and valve games though so maybe I lucked out.

>>713324573
I grew up with n64 and PSX too, it's not impossible for a zoomer to have been around these consoles. Improbable maybe since not everyone could have been fortunate enough have experienced all those consoles as a '97 zoomer

>how the hell would a zoomer be expected to be nostalgic for that
Nostalgia can happen for anything. I never felt nostalgia for Halo 4 or 5 despite grinding these games and almost getting max level, but I feel nostalgia and fond memories for the older Halos. I played a demo for Phantasy Star Universe on Xbox 360 as a kid and that game stuck with me for some unexplained reason and ended up playing the PC version with s group of friends recently and feel nostalgia for that now too. If you dont experience fun memorable moments you probably wont be nostalgic for it.

>>713324459
i cant remember what i was playing because i would keep finding new free games to spend my time on before moving on to other ones

>>713320715
Im 24 and my first version was beta 1.3
Watched plenty of alpha lets plays though

>>713321736
Remember specifically looking for this because of the official flash game
I liked it but man they really should have made getting the endings better

Please don't let this thread die guys, nostalgia and yearning for the old days has been coursing through me hardcore for months now and I have no friends who share this enthusiasm.

>>713324256
fuck

>half of the thread is just minecraft and roblox
I kinda even feel bad for you, zoomies
I had more games in the 90s and 2000s

>>713325651
Weak bait fag

Experiencing the kinect at my cousin's house for the first time is a highlight. I thought that was the craziest, most advanced tech thing ever lol.
Watching some of the old choreos for JD makes me plenty nostalgic.

this fuckass game this thread made me install again after 3 years
it's a fun time when it happens

I am excited for the new DLC!

>>713326217
its honestly kinda shit as a “real game” it only worked on flash imo

>>713326217
Holy shit I was just about to post this.
Loved this game.

Anyone else played this shit? My parents wouldn't pay my WoW subscription so this is all I had.

2000s pac was prime pac and nobody can convince me otherwise

>>713322652
Zoomers didn't.

>>713319272 (OP)
>Minecraft Alpha
>Zoomers
I'm in my 30's now and I'm nostalgic for "Alpha"/Classic Minecraft, I remember the first time I saw the game was in my junior year of high school, the library was full of nerds who were playing Minecraft Classic on the computers.
I even remember when Notch used to post on /v/.

>>713323125
>minecraft was for 10 year olds
Yeah man elementary students in 2010 were lining up to pay 20 bucks for a PC exclusive java indie game

>>713326217
i spent more time watching the title screen than i did playing this

>>713319272 (OP)
I call bullshit on zoomers playing the minecraft alpha, if only for how asinine it was to buy.

fuck sony dude

>>713326524
my millennial sister showed it to me when i was 6. the boomers in this thread don't realize how young the zoomers were when we got into video games

>>713326620
Limewire + Hamachi

>>713326524
I got my mom to buy the game at beta 1.3.1 at 9 years old
Remember downloading the 1.4 update before school and seeing the new title screen and wolves

>>713319272 (OP)
for me, it was albino blacksheep

>>713326620
miencraftforfree.com

>>713326704
>people that were on average like 10 years old
>downloading with limewire
>in 2010, when limewire died
I continue to call bullshit, unless you had a cool older sibling or cousin, you did not play the minecraft alpha as a zoomer.

>>713326665
this.

>>713324459
Plants VS Zombies was a Mac game

>>713326875
i was playing minecraft classic in 2010. i'm sure other zoomers were playing old versions as well

>>713322285
>>713324014
>Born 97
>Same issues
Damn, feels weird knowing there are people out there like me.

>>713327054
oh so thats why it feels more like a game

>>713320948
https://youtu.be/0yDRpZROVd8?si=WafVNalPY6Pscsry

>>713326875
Most youtube videos were linking to pirated versions of minecraft in a zip file and torrenting software wasn't that hard to learn. Youtube and google were far less active about copyrighting and taking down links on youtube. I spent many days on youtube pirating things.

People make fun of young zoomers for googling things and putting reddit on the end for answers but I was doing similar stuff on youtube before I learned about torrenting software kek

Where are your Kongregate friends?

>zoomer thread
>30++ millennials have to ruin the fun

suprised this didnt get brought up

>>713320687
Super Paper Mario was very Undertale/Deltarune-coded. I will not elaborate.

>>713326665
I even played LBP karting..

>>713319272 (OP)
>born in '99
>didn't move to pc until I was 15
for me it was the classic xbox 360 version of minecraft by 4j

>>713327453
i spent more time in the chatrooms than i did playing games. do any websites still have chatrooms?

>>713327484
holy based.

>>713327567
Battle for Bikini bottom was so kino but I played it gamecube not XBOX even though I owned an XBOX.

>>713327660
I played the shit out of LBP1. used to obsess over all the designs people made for sackboy.

>>713327684
barely missed the mark for being a zoomer but I'll allow it.

>>713327684
even worse
>born in 96
>raised on late 80s/early 90s shit
>first computer had dial-up, second had wifi
>first phone was text only flip phone, second was a modern android
>not old enough to be a proper millennial but not retarded enough to be a proper zoomer
technology advanced so quickly it feels like i skipped a generation

reminder to millenials that what you experienced as an adult is what we played as kids

>>713327481
Both zoomers and millennials are fucking retarded. Zillennials are the only normal people to have been born in the last 45 years.

>>713320715
>>713326413
>>713326524
>>713326620
Started playing Minecraft when I was 10 (in 2010) many of my friends and classmates played as well but they got into it a bit later, around 2012. Minecraft had already gotten huge by then. In middle school we'd often play on the same server

cake is a lie lole

>>713326524
>>713323125
>>713321775
The fuck is this retarded debate? It's okay that both zoomers and late millennials have fond memories of a thing. Zoomers were 11 and late millennials were 17 but they are still core teenage memories for both. Why chimp out?

>>713328003
real.
damn...I was a kid when I was watching my teenage brother and his best friend play this on the gamecube in my room. I had the gamecube and my brother had the XBOX and PS2 in his room. I miss my old home now.

>>713328023
Idk man I'm a zillenial and I'm pretty weird. I just hide it in public and don't trend chase.

>>713328047
never got a chance to play this game. I bought the sequel on steam because it was on sale but now it's a part of my ever growing backlog of games.

>>713328181
I remember not hiding my "power level" enough in school and the autistic kids learning I liked portal started to sing "Still Alive" every time they saw me.

>>713328220
I think both generations don't want to associate with each other but they should come to terms with the fact that early zoomers and late millenials are the closest to each other.

>zoomer intern at work
>calls every form of internet connection "wifi"
Don't fucking do this zoomers, I had to have my internet scream at me before I could load boobs at a rate of one row of pixels per 6 seconds just so you could call an ethernet connection 'wifi'? It's a fucking cable, aint no wi about it.

I love the highly saturated beach aesthetic of early to mid 2000s games. Something about it just felt really comforting. It was also around the time where my family moved to a new place. It was the summer, it was really warm, and I was sitting in my room playing videogames that looked just like this. We even had a small pool in the backyard, and whenever I would go swim, I'd imagine myself being at the places I explored in the games I've been playing.
Now it's summer again, and I still think about those times. It felt so different back then

home

>>713328348
I didn't do it before but I might now to make you seethe
go plug your wifi in lol

>>713328346
>I think both generations don't want to associate with each other but they should come to terms with the fact that early zoomers and late millenials are the closest to each other.
Yes, and I think this dislike is being driven by both early millennials and late zoomers.
I'm a late millennial and I think all of us born in the 90s (late millennials and early zoomers) have more in common with each other than 80s and 90s millennials with each other or 90s and 00s zoomers with each other.

>>713328220
millennials are "90s big boys" that sperg out when they find out that other kids played with their toys

>>713328393
>fake screenshot with a creepypasta character in the corner

>>713328497
Truth. I was born in '93, my brother in '00 and we're basically the same person despite me technically being a millennial and him technically a zoomer. The boundaries between generations aren't as solid as mass media makes them out to be.I am this>>713321775
anon and I see the error of my ways. There is no meaningful difference between late millennial and early zoomer.

>>713328738
>The boundaries between generations aren't as solid as mass media makes them out to be.I
They are just arbitrary lines drawn by Jews. What makes a generation go from 1982 to 1996? Why not 1988 to 2002 or whatever? It's just arbitrary Judaism to divide and conquer.

I wish my brother had more free time to game with me but now he has a wife and two kids while im still trying to get my life together.

I used to get on this website every chance I could in elementary school and just draw and look at what other people used to draw. Some people used to try and make stick figure animations on this site too with the timelapse feature. Cigarette emoji.

did you experience the hype? or were you too late?

Wii would rike to pray

It''s never coming back, isn't it bros?

>>713329336

Tooons of ds lites though and a fair few dsis even some xls
I had the white Dsi cause i was late to the party

Holy shit anon were you in sync with me lmao

>>713329498
I always wanted the newer DS but I was stuck with the electric blue launch DS. Im still fond of it but apparently DSI XL is the best one to buy these days.

>>713322476
>Happy 30th
This one's kinda old huh? It should say happy 40th, the oldest zoomers will be hitting 30 soon and most millennials are over 35 now.

>>713328607
kek i was wondering if someone would notice

I have never met another person who's even heard of this irl

>>713329578
The phat ds looks comfy but it also seems fragile and the screen looks ass

>>713329667
My school got very into adventure quest worlds and we would also sometimes discuss that one

i didnt know how to play this properly so i would make new accounts each time i played it

>>713320715
minecraft is a lego game. toddlers have always played it.

>>713329676
Fat DS was actually very sturdy and could play gameboy advance games too. Mad comfy and I have been missing it a lot. I think when I get a new job I'm going to order another one but then again im not a kid/teenager anymore. It might be too small for me so a DSI XL might be best.

Discovering newgrounds h games when I was way too young probably wasn't good for my brain

>>713329667
one of the earliest things I can remember jacking off to was the hot witch who sold you potions. this must have been sometime around 2004-5

Does amybody else feel nostalgic for games you havemt even played but watched your older brother play? Like the knowledge of your both vibing in the same room while they play a specific game was just so comfy that you gotta put on a walkthrough of the game just to feel something similar?
Pic unrelated.

>>713330314
Idk i played all my siblings games

>>713321990
Playing this back before there were dubloon oceans and each server would have 1500-2k players during blockades was so fun.

Weird that this old ass xbox 360 game is getting a PC port soon. Used to always see people on my friends list playing this.

>>713329590
Great, now you made zoomers feel old.

I wanted the member puffle colors so bad
Playing private servers now i realise they are just shitty pngs but at the time they were so special to me
Definitely main reason i wanted membership but i never got it lol

>>713330586
i heard the game is ran by old ladies now

>>713330841
yes, the head admin has been Hera ever since Cleaver stepped down and she has literally zero clue how to run a game. she's probably in her 60s now, literally a grandma with the keys to the server, except you also have SEGA monetizing the fuck out of it by releasing gacha boxes every month (at least it's just for cosmetics only)

I haven't played in a whille but I heard they got a new developer a couple years ago and he did some good things, but the game has been in life support close to a decade now, the last true gasp of fresh air it had was when they opened a new server designed around PVP, and it had 400-600 people on most nights, closer to 800 for blockades - granted with multi-clients it's lower, but it was still really fun for a few months

>>713319272 (OP)
This screenshot is older than zoomers

>>713321448
Ditto. I remember I was on my dad's laptop on youtube and saw some sort of game with lava coming out of a mountain at night and it immediately caught my interest. How time flies.

>>713330959
i tried to play it again recently and apparently they closed registration for the standalone client, you need to play it on steam if you want to get started now

>>713331032

this game is special to me. i tried playing it yesterday but the nostalgia is very strong. i'm actually considering buying a switch 2 seeing the new mario kart (wii was also my last nintendo console) but i'm still not sure because of the high prices for the place i live in. i would really like to catch up with all the mainline nintendo games i missed after the wii though..

Zoomers had their childhoods around the 2010s, minecraft became a thing in 2009, by 2012 there was no way of escaping it, everyone knew about minecraft, it was everywhere.

>>713327603
I'd say it's more the inverse of that. No elaboration needed of course.

>>713321968
the only thing they missed out on is multiplayer that wasnt optimized for goy killing which is admittedly a huge shame but everything else can be emulated.

>>713336069
perhaps all of us have a little bit of literally me in agent 3...
now where is the veemo gf we deserve

>>713336251
I mean you could say the same shit for millennials, the game has exponentially exploded in popularity so of course more people jumped on at later points than earlier

>>713336251
another out of touch millennitroon that has no idea how old zoomers are

>>713323423
I liked watching edgy mario flash parodies like Rise of the MK.

>>713336251
Not many zoomers played alpha but we all watched lets plays of it

>>713336420
>now where is the veemo gf we deserve
personally I'd prefer a callie gf but that's just me
but eight with agent 3 is pretty great too

I downloaded tons of Java games and sent it to my Nokia phone via my laptop's Bluetooth. Gave me things to do outside of the house (primarly during class). Bounce (& Tales), DOOM RPG, Might and Magic 2 Mobile, and Blades & Magic were my favorites. Tons of smaller ones as well I enjoyed greatly: Sokoban clones, weird 2D platformer ports, dungeon crawlers, various puzzle games, etc.
>>713327453
Kongregate was really good. Loved collecting kongpanions (Pokemon-ish collectible creatures) that you earned for completing in-game achievements. Chatrooms were fun to look at when grinding resources and XP.
>>713329735
Never heard of it. The UI looks unusually uncomplicated for an MMORPG
>>713331032
I don't get why people get nostalgic about Hamachi. Do people not use it anymore? I'm pretty sure it's still one of the easiest ways to play via LAN

>>713336528
Java games were epic

>>713334245
Destiny was always shit.

Zoomers don't get to claim nostalgia for shit that came out like 25 years ago

>>713336830
Im 24 and grew up with a ps1 and og gba

why do millennials claim that millennial cringe is actually zoomer stuff, but they demand that stuff zoomers grew up with are exclusive to millennials?

>>713336737
I forget that it comes with the restriction of being limited to 5 people per network because I never needed more than that. Sounds fair. Don't know any software that does the same thing, me and my friends (also zoomers) still used Hamachi to play Magicka last year

>>713336830
zoomer shit is post-9/11 and both gba and guitar hero came out post-9/11

>>713320715
Bullshit, I was 13 when Alpha released. I bought Minecraft the week before the Nether was introduced.

>>713320715
the oldest zoomers are 28 years old, plenty of them owned gamecubes, wiis and hand-me-down N64s

>>713334323
>Zoomers had their childhoods around the 2010s
mid-2000s*

>>713336830
Why the fuck do you people think zoomers were mostly born in the mid-late 2000s?
Nearly every zoomer born between 1997-2000 grew up with gamecubes, playstation 2s, nintendo wiis, playstation 3.

I was fucking playing WoW when I was 8 years old in 2005. I have fucking memories of being like 5-6 and eating dinosaur nuggies while being stuck on Mr. Patch from Banjo & Tooie for like an hour or two

>>713337921
Hell, my father bought Command & Conquer: Generals and whenever I got to play I just spammed the same fucking unit and swarmed the entire map when I was like, 6
I think my favorite unite was the motorcycle guys from the terrorist faction

>>713337674
I was born in 1998 I only remember the 2010 era more. I never own a 64 also

>>713338069
I was born in 1997 and the Gamecube and PS2 were my childhood systems, but I owned a N64 as well because back then people didn't just abandon consoles because they were a generation behind and so they were still stocked in the stores.

Dark Cloud 1 and Dark Cloud 2 were my first real JRPGs and I still hold both games. I got to play a ton of N64 games in the early 2000s too.

i wasn't allowed to buy any games cuz fuck you so i just played free indies

>>713338149
Did you have a older brother ? In my experience it's always the case. My brother was born 1993 and there's stuff he showed me that was before my time

>>713338236
Nope. No older brother.
My parents were both gamers though who met at a multiplayer Doom competition in college in the early 1990s.
Mother was mostly a casual Nintendo fan. Father was a PC gamer, but he was also a weeb so he played JRPGs on the PS2 with me.

The consoles weren't hand-me-downs since I got a N64 on my 3rd birthday, a Gamecube on my 4th birthday and a PS2 on my 5th birthday.
Of course since I was young and retarded I mostly just backseated or had my parents play with me and didn't really start playing games on my own until I was 6-ish.

>>713338357
>his mom was a tendie
oh no no no no

>>713338357
I wasn't even the fucking odd one out.
In 2005 all of the zoomer children were still playing the latest games.

I don't know how fucking braindead you people think we are that we just drifted around unconsciously until 2010 and decided to play Minecraft or some fucking stupid shit.
My earliest fucking video game memories are two entire generations before Minecraft was even a thing

>>713338815
All of the fucking zoomer kids in 2005 were doing Naruto runs in the school yard and singing that SMRPG Forest Maze rap parody that was popular on the internet even though none of us had even played SMRPG.

>>713338357
>>713338815
>>713338997
Early zoomers, sure

but there's a huge difference between the zoomers born in the late 90s and the zoomers born in the mid 2000s

>>713322285
finally someone understands how i feel
>t. 98 zoom zoom

>>713339050
Mid-2000 zoomers might as well be a completely different fucking generation, raised on iphones and had their childhood in the 2010s.

At least a late 90s zoomer got to experience what vidya and technology was like if their parents weren't luddites. In my case I was even allowed on the internet mostly unsupervised too but I mainly stayed on flash sites and early youtube, not forums and shit.

>>713339763
>Mid-2000 zoomers might as well be a completely different fucking generation
this. i don't want to be lumped in with the soilennials so we need a new generation name for pre-2005 zoomers

>>713337921
I only ever knew one kid with a gamecube growing up in scandinavia
Literally everyone else had a ps2 didnt see a single xbox either

>>713321736

>da joos did this

>>713320715
I'm 27, and I started playing in Alpha 1.1.2 because it was free to play that weekend. I ended up buying it.

Back when the forced woke crap weren't a thing at all during the 80's/90's/2000's/early 2010's. Nowadays we are forced to see those propaganda being almost in every media and in IRL. Why do we live in a such messy world?

>>713321008
My nigga.
I was surprised to see just how faithfully they recreated the island in 3D. Figured it would be a good jump off point for a proper CP3D, but that never came to be.
Game Day sits still as a comfy time capsule.

I'm a 98/99 zoomber.

2005 here. Used to play Roblox all the time in 2012-2018. Started playing "old roblox" revivals in 2016 just to LARP as an oldfag lol. Miss that

there were so many memorable MMOs in thr 2000s

>>713319272 (OP)
why did the old versions look so bright?

>>713319272 (OP)
We bought and rented all the way up till our local store closed in 2012.

>>713326704
The amount of fucking viruses I got on the computer from trying to get a pirated version of RCT on limewire was amazing.

I spent a lot of my childhood/early teens playing shitty mmos.
I mostly remember Fiesta, Flyff, Metin 2 and Grand Fantasia (GF was definitely the one I played the most)

Simpler times. I wonder if a game will ever make me feel this way again or if the genre is dead and buried forever.

>>713344162
Problem with Island was it being far too different from the source material, or, the memories people held of it.
Locking it to mobile and jacking up membership features to the max, while also lacking fundamentals like ninjas, puffles and agents was an instant death knell. That and the art style change, which wasn't bad or incompetent, but lacked the simplistic flash charm (which could be replicated just fine, look at Game Day).
Didn't help that there wasn't any option to transfer data from you legacy account. Recreating hundreds of items might've been overkill, but they could've let you use the icons as stickers or pins instead. Letting people rep the beta hat clout.
>>713344253
I saw recently that Rocketsnail actually got around to making that Snow Blasters game he always dreamed of. Good for him, looking past the derivative Supercell design.

>>713320715
23, don't know who or what got me into Minecraft but I was playing on Classic multiplayer all the time in early 2011 before my brother bought me the actual game when Beta 1.7.3 was the newest version. Had a pirated version of Beta 1.5 saved on that same PC for whatever reason which I have zero recollection of other than a single screenshot inside a gravel pit I took by accident.
Somewhat of a latefag but I remember feeling ashamed when for a while all you saw were younger consolefags feeling nostalgic for their downgraded versions compared to what Java players were playing at that time.

>>713319272 (OP)
Millenium zoomer here, I miss those old games on the old Lego website, so many hours on the family computer spent playing the games on there. I remember this one especially though I also remember an Indiana Jones sidescroller on there which I don't think was ever finished.

That's not even zoomer nostalgia, the classic Minecraft shit is millennial nostalgia. Zoomers didn't really start sperging out about Minecraft until 2013-2014. That's why you have videos like this https://www.youtube.com/shorts/JJt78G9q4is all over tiktok and youtube

Nigger I'm 25 and most of my friends and I still grew up with N64, Gamecubes, GBAs, and PS2s.
Do you really think kids just don't to interact with any video game culture until until they become teenagers?
If anything, most kids were usually a generation behind because buying a new console year 1 was a adult gamer or richfag parents thing.

why do millennials get so angry at the thought of someone of a younger age group having played the same ebin oldfag block game they did 25 years ago? such a strange thing to get so defensive about

speaking of flash games, does someone know the name of one i played? 2d platformer with santa claus as the protagonist. the song was a party version of jingle bells without vocals and you had to move up and down to grab presents. the santa claus sprite looked super thin and older than he normally looks like. game shouldn't be newer than 2008

>>713352802

Counts for me a '97 zoomie. I played on a private server because it was easier to level up and all the cash shop items didn't cost real world money. Good times. I remember sitting in the corner of a room with my dell laptop while listening to a lot of Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows, The band never caught on with the mainstream rock crowd surprisingly. Anyways those were Good times, a nice spring breeze while the Sun had a nice bloom that poured into my old house. Really did feel like some kind of nostalgic dream.

>>713344067
wtf same

This thread reminded me of an old Call of Duty Ghost trailer parody I found on youtube that seems to be lost to the sands of time now. I remember it starting out with some funny voice "THERE ARE THOSE WHO WEAR MASKS-" and they had a bunch of people saying funny shit for each character but unfortunately can't remember most dialogue besides one dude in knight armor or something saying "I can't fucking breathe" and later near the end of the video some nerdy voice saying "if you're old enough to cause trouble you're old enough to be sodomized!" During the montage of every person in the trailer.

Is it over is the thread dead?

Thank you all for sharing and indulging in some nostalgia with me. I hope you have a wonderful day. Speaking as a American the world has gone to shit recently and might get worse IF we do go to war or if this is just fear mongering. This has been my escape to look back to the past when games and people were better and identity politics and other nonsense weren't so prevalent. Ironic that gaming was better during the other economic depression. I miss the early 2000's a lot. I even miss half the buildings in my local town being mostly brown or made of brick, tired of being surrounded by minimalist colorful buildings with corpo slop everywhere. High trust society when we had gaming kiosks in mcdonalds and nothing was locked up in walmart and most people weren't doing drugs or smoking weed 24/7.

I hope things get better for mine and your sake. Hold onto the hope that the past brings. Maybe one day we can bring it all back. God bless.

Minecraft was definitely more of a younger millennial thing in 2009-2012 but there were kids who discovered it through this website. Children have always used 4chan even though they shouldn't.

>>713354834
It was an older zoomer thing too.

When Minecraft was first going viral during the alpha, the oldest zoomers were like 12-13 years old.

>>713354987
That's what I said, older zoomers also played it. The majority of the audience was in their late teens and 20s though because Minecraft was originally marketed to nerds on Internet forums. Microsoft turned it into proto-Fortnite.

>>713334245
I. MISS. IT!!!!!!!!!!
I GOT A PS4 FOR THIS GAME
DESTINY 2 IS SHIT

Aside from minecraft. Spore is probably the game I have the fondest memories off. It was just so fun making creatures and evolving them.

>>713334245
Bought this on sale for $20 with all dlc on ps4 after the community died off and it was some of the most fun I had in awhile that I was extremely disappointed when Destiny 2 was a incomplete package

>>713354560
you are dead right anon. i know that if you were a realist, youd likely be a doomer, but i believe if it happened once, it can happen again. I love reminiscing those times. it is important to remember them. it's possible for them to come again, but we won't just 'find' them in the future. we have to by our actions create them. I think it is possible for the world to be this happy and carefree again. Peace, Guys.

>>713355271
it was a good idea, but the rushed stages and the mediocre space mode ruined it for me.

>>713355223
Are you kidding? Minecraft WAS mostly popular with kids since like beta, in 2011, but already had a following of kids since alpha due to youtube exposure through early e-celebs.

Microsoft bought Minecraft in 2014. Look at any Minecon footage pre-2014 and it's a fucking sea of autistic 7-12 year olds.
Youtubers were pulling in tens of millions of subscribers pre-2014 playing Minecraft and appealing to children to the point a huge chunk of Minecon was just dedicated to shilling minecraft youtube e-celebs.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsO-Td0hqXo

Minecraft hasn't been majority millennial since like, indev/infdev and very, very early alpha.

>>713355387

Do millennials not realize that older brothers and cousins are a thing? I have intense nostalgia for "millennial" IPs, games etc. despite being younger than them. I wasn't raised in an age-segregated vacuum of "2010s kid stuff".

all i had when i was a kid was a psp and this badboy

This, i let my zoomer cousin play minecraft on my laptop when he spent summer break with me and he got into it, and it spread amongst zoomers like wildfire.

is this the only game that stayed mainstream through more than 2 generations?
>blew up with millennials in 2009
>zoomers continued playing through the 2010's/early 20's
>gen alpha still picking this up in the mid 20's
has any other game done this? maybe roblox?

What are you if you were born in 96?
