Go to
http://www.minecraft.net/ and get a free version to see how it looks. Game is not currently released but even now, as an alpha release under constant development (weekly updates) and at price point of 10€ its selling out like hotcakes.
In essence, you go around a huge randomly generated world that has big pixelated graphic (player is basically two "pixels" high) and chop wood, dig ground, stone, place sand/dirt/stone elsewhere building houses, castles or huge bridges, mining iron, coal, diamond, crafting pickaxes, shovels, doors, rails, railcar, steam locomotive, battling zombies (there is a difficulty setting without them), spiders, big goo, skeletons that shoot arrows against whom you can fight with bow and arrow or gold/iron/diamond sword...
See why I say this is like Toadwater 3D?
Now, the problem (for me) is that they accept only paypal. Would someone like for me to donate 15$ worth of worker time or something to them in exchange for a Minecraft upgrade for me? I'm not a subscriber here so couldnt donate Toadkens directly :/
Last thing, its possible to setup Minecraft servers. If several people from here get hooked on Minecraft maybe we could setup our server to play on
