FUN FACTS

Minecraft wasn't originally called "Minecraft" during first development, but rather "Cave Game".

Speaking of Minecraft, the game was actually a clone of Infiniminer, an open-source
multiplayer game, released almost a month before Minecraft!

Donkey Kong originally supposed to have characters from Popeye, but Nintendo were unable to
licence the characters so Shigeru Miyamoto replaced them with a gorilla (now known as Donkey Kong), his girlfriend (now known as Pauline) and a plumber named "Jumpman" (now known as Mario).
