I know 1.7.10, 1.8.9, and 1.12.2 exist. I'm not sure the story behind them, I just know they are common versions people like to play still. 1.8.9 for PvP and Hypixel and 1.12.2 for 2b2t. I'm not sure about 1.7.10 though.
I mean it has been out for over 7 years now. https://howoldisminecraft189.today/
Since this community is new I wanted to spark some discussion.
I've been a fan for years and used to frequent forums for the series back in the day. I learned about Metroid from a friend back when I was in elementary school (probably around 2004-2006 I honestly can't remember). I played Fusion and eventually Zero Mission on my GBA.
When I was in middle school I learned about Super Metroid ROM Hacks and watched tons of let's plays of them back then. Eventually I got Super Metroid myself on Wii VC and got to play a bit myself.
After that I didn't branch out too much. I only really played Prime 1 and did play AM2R when that released. I still enjoy coming back to the series though.
What's your experience?
