I first played blockland (TBM) at my friends Lan party. I was building a giant staircase up to a floating castle. After that, I saw Blockland on the ScreenSavers and in PC Gaming mag and desided to download it. I remember my frustration when I didn't get it to work the first time. Then once it was working (barely), I got RTB about a week or 2 before I joined the forums. I played on my crap computer until retail came out and then I was like, "My crap computer can't run this better quality version, I guess this is the end for blockland". While I was gone, I had been making money to buy a laptop and I was thinking of games to get for it and one of the first ones that poped into my head was Blockland. So I "rejoined" the forums and here I am.
P.S. I still have the old installer for 1.045. :D
