New minecraft launcher: Time travel! AKA old versions are available for download.

[Notme]

So now we can have nostalgia about MCNostalgia and MCVC is obsolete >:D (Yes, I was reading K1ngHowards status update)

I checked oldest versions, that were available.

Slightly earlier version - no human mobs - from 13rd May too. Also oldest in launcher.

This version is from 13rd May 2009.
It looks more like experiment.

Minecraft back then had only 5 days...

This one is so old, that TheOne didn't existed back then, and multiplayer was only in plans.
That version was released on 22nd May 2009.

I think, you can recognize this one. That version was released in late December (22nd?) 2009.
Running servers at this time: LS, CBuild.

That one is infdev, version from 18th June 2010.
Running servers at this time: LS, CBuild, ZS.

That version was released in 19th July 2010. It looks like someone mixed premium with classic (infinite maps, classic biomes).
Running servers at this time: LS, CBuild, ZS.

EDIT:

That version was released on 23rd July 2010. First SMP server probably looked like this.
It looks like they were remaking multiplayer for premium.
Running servers at this time: LS, CBuild, ZS.

Edit2:

Release: 10th September 2010.
People, who were from TheOne, played on SMP, that looked like that.
Running servers at this time: LS, CBuild, ZS, TNT, SMP.

They told on Twitter, that they are going to tinker around biomes in 1.7 snapshots.
So I think in 1.7 will be new terrain generation.

Poor Elysium
I think we are stuck with old terrain generator for a while.

Controls on early versions are WASD for moving and space for jumping.
Its just like controls were reseted to default.

I was referring to the 2009 versions. Having problems with placing and destroying blocks in the versions before 0.30.
