Minecraft PSX Documentation [2] - 01-01-24

I woke up after not getting much sleep and decided to continue my Journey into this mysterious copy of Minecraft, let's see how it goes.
"Minecraft Playstation Edition" is a game developed by Mojang Studios in the Year 1998 in a partnership with Sony Interactive Entertainment for the Playstation Console released in 1994, this game was a pre-cursor to the classic 'Minecraft' of 2009, although not many people are aware of it due to it being pulled from store shelves just a year after release with only a 1000 or so copies ever being sold, I was lucky enough to stumble upon a copy at a retro game store about a month ago, here's my experience with the title.
If you'd like to play the game yourself via emulation here's a link to a rom to download as finding a physical copy like myself is nearly impossible to do: www.curseforge....
Thanks to xKazIsKooIx for ripping the game files to allow others to play the game
Any help to learn more about the game would be appreciated as I'm still learning about it myself and plan to continue my exploration into the title more on this channel

11:45 - Heres some food for thought (From an ARG perspective) That "sort" button in the inventory is the *same* icon that appears in Quark, a modern day Minecraft Java mod. And, if you were to find a large cave, you would be able to hear sounds echoing from somewhere else in the cave, which is another mod called "Sound Physics Remastered" or something. ... what if this game was either A) From a different world where those alternate mod developers made mods for the PS1 version of Minecraft, B) There is something supernatural with the disc that takes inspiration from various modern day things found in Java, or C) The mod developers in modern day know something we don't.

[@elbarnes]

Going off your second idea: It could be that today’s people are, without their knowledge, being supernaturally compelled to recreate this version of the game. Both mod makers and mojang developers alike. So every time a feature is added, it’s somebody’s unconscious attempt to make Minecraft back into this version, compelled by… something.

[@Velpu420]

he's also using the controllable mod that allows you to play with a gamepad LMAOO

[@rynow1992]

Going on the later

[@ToyFreddyGaming1987]

I wouldn't be surprised if the disc was supernatural. That would explain... a lot.

[@ironpainting1210]

Probably shouldn't believe that the game is original and not homebrew like the author says tho, its just his hunch and it requires far too many unrealistic assumptions for maintaining immersion in my opinion First, its very possible for homebrewers: FFVII on PS1 has 3 discs, use its jewel case and swap out the discs and covers for new ones Elbarnes' supernatural communication theory also requires far too many unrealistic assumptions for maintaining immersion in my opinion: far easier to think it was the work of homebrewers in the modern day. Just my thoughts ultimately, might not be immersion breaking or unrealistic for others so I don't mean to diss any theories too much, its a cool concept and ARG

Alternate title: Australian man has mental breakdown playing cube game from 1998. I’m enjoying the series btw just thought this comment section needed a meme lol.

[@s0n1cd3v]

Holy hell, I genuinely jumped in my seat at least twice! I would not be brave enough to play this alone like you are doing, I would have even got rid of this game as soon as the creepy shit started happening. I swear there is something wrong with this specific version of the game, Minecraft has always been a bit of an eerie game on itself, but this version is just something else, it just feels like you are constantly being watched, followed or even hunted by something or someone. I think I kinda understand why mojang hid this version, or why it might have flopped for that matter, maybe even it got recalled, who knows.

[@anon1539]

this version of the game is insane, seems like it was aimed to be an actual "horror" game with jumpscares, which is super cool since the actual title sometimes gets somewhat scary, but isn't marketed as such (unless the game is fake and not made by Mojang, which idk if it would fully make sense if it actually came out before yr. 2000)

[@exotericidymnic3530]

It's not surprising this game is a little too much for your playstation, it might not seem like it but voxel games like Minecraft are quite hardware intensive.

[@stolyartoad8640]

It’s a miracle they got it running on the PS1 at all, it’s no wonder they switched to PC.

[@Seacat17]

Well, actually there's a fast and efficient way to do voxels on PSX-hardware-level but it's very hard to implement.

[@MrCheezyBoi]

@@stolyartoad8640 too bad it seems like someone lost the original source code so they had notch rebuild the game from scratch and to this day we need mods to run the game properly

[@cathacker13]

@@MrCheezyBoi I've heard rumors that notch's remake was supposed to initially just be a casual side project which he never expected to actually be feature complete, so he didn't write the engine as optimally as he could've and now we are still living with the consequences of that , giving the game a bad rep for its optimization even though the original was quite well optimized (because it had to be with the hardware they were working with)

[@Deputy_Doofus]

You know this game pushes the ps1 beyond its limit when the ps1 sounds like a vending machine taking in a dollar everytime it tries to load something

[@aleksavasic2612]

Exactly

[@megandelaossa3675]

I love the presentation…. Full marks. Im having fun watching this unfold. It will be interesting to see if you slip up and break the fourth wall at all haha… GJ mate

[@haliemoss9485]

7:11 fun fact: Herobrine's mansion in the background of the screenshot can mean Herobrine was never removed from this version of the game he is in your world in Playstation 1 because he can roam in it he can also roam in your Playstation 2

[@sporeham1674]

Oh crap. I ran a rom of this on my PS2 with popstarter. I should check my memory cards.

[@luisventura1730]

bro you bring the horrors of minecraft that made us paranoid and made it scary as hell. this video made me jump and on edge and i love it.

[@land3021]

5:35 He said the line! I think there's an entity with pitched down zombie sounds in this version of the game... definitely something going on with the zombies. First video definitely proved that with the baby zombies coming and leaving like they knew they weren't gonna get in... 11:44 Grown man eh? Boy... not a day goes by that I don't feel out of my own body when it comes to being the age I am... 14:20 Strange... the disk seems to be moving faster when the music starts here... would want to cross reference to make sure this hasn't happen ended multiple times 15:00 HAh it stuttered... 20:44 What an ending! Bravo!

[@xX_MALMO_Xx]

At 10:35 the mining begins to feel like the discs 11 and 13, just slowed. The same echo, same materials etc.

[@someonecalledrichardthehuman]

Finally an ARG that does stuff right, its not like its the most 100% original but this one actually does the job for me, FINALLY some good stuff Edit: Also, what really sells this to me is how it remembers me that back when I played MC when I was 6 I got serious sleep issues and migrain from not being used to the game's aesthetic and the warped and way more pixelly textures actually make me dizzy and a bit migraneous which is inmersive I guess lol.

[@gamezboi_]

i think i know why this game got hidden, its because mojang wasnt able to patch out the creepy bugs and decided to cover it up, and then they decided to start over again a few years later

[@spaceyacey7062]

Man, I wouldn’t be playing this shit alone at ANY time. I would only be able to play with someone sitting next to me holding my hand.

[@canadaman9373]

Fr i was playing mincraft while watching this i had to go in my base and because there is windows in every room i went to the attic thebroom with the smallest windows and boxed my self in and logged off

[@shibainu2528]

6:38 - I've experienced something similar where I heard a phantom screech during the first night, which shouldn't be possible if the PSX version acted similar to modern Java edition (Which, since other things like powdered snow and iron / copper / gold behavior seem to be the same as well) Well, you get the point. I heard a phantom even though it was the first night.

[@krocodile55]

I've actually experienced something similar to what you're talking about! I had a bed tho and when I tried to sleep it said "you're too scared to sleep."

[@Fishmen64]

This is really well done and very entertaining, but I absolutely cannot take Herobrine seriously anymore. Also, to my knowledge the PS1 has no internal clock or any other way of keeping track of time so the time that the save was last played being listed on the file select screen is impossible. I could be very wrong about that though since I don't know a lot about the PS1.

[@SargentDoom]

and I thought java beta was scary ☠️☠️☠️ im kinda glad notch took over mojang around 2009 and remade the game to not be so terrifying

[@matt-oo6fu]

sorry to break kayfabe here but i'm really grateful for these videos. I downloaded this and have been trying to play, but i've gotten scared so bad so many times, idk if i can keep doing it. I love horror movies, I love horror games, I just can't actually play them myself, lol.

[@Pendleton-vj1gc]

6:56 really got me good 💀💀💀💀 I still cant believe you have another copy of this game! The game is so ahead of its time, so good! Very eerie tho.

14:17 average windows idle experience (after idling for certain amount of time, windows starts up stupid update components causing your laptop to heat up while you do absolutely nothing)

[@mercenarylong]

What if herobrine haunts this version of the game causing mojang to remake the entire game from scratch and "remove" herobrine in every future update. That's my theory

[@catirialucchiano7163]

I heard that loud monster sound in java edition you thought of is a zombie once

[@krocodile55]

This modpack seems awesome! The only problem I have is that the game only looks right at certain window sizes. It's not a huge issue, but the largest size that fits on my computer screen is a too small (for me personally), and the next size up is just barely too big to fit.

[@Hiro04]

I think you should try blowing into the disc then putting it back in that should fix this.

[@shadowchasernql]

Hey, so, you guys ever heard of this game called Minecraft: Order Of The Stone? No it's not THAT minecraft, it was a DS game, and I had it for a while, i couldn't find it now but all i remember was: 1. It was some sort of weird multiplayer capture-the-flag game and *might* have also had some sort of other mode, i'm not sure 2. It looked a lot like this game but was made by a different company, some swede by "Mark" or something. (It also had this banger of a soundtrack, it sounded like it was done by Plaid or something) 3. I could never find anyone on local wireless to play with (no DSi), so i spent a lot of time roaming around empty maps waiting for players, today i would probably call it "liminal" 😂. 4. It's touch controls sucked

It might be. It definitely does sound like the disc tho. If it is morse code tho, I wonder if the text on the back of the disc is also some code and not just random gibberish.
