Infiniminer is a first-person competitive mining game that takes place in a procedurally generated block world allowing players to mine, build, and explore. Sound familiar? That’s because Infiniminer is the game that started the “block genre” that everyone knows and loves! It’s also quite buggy and old, and is listed here purely for historical reasons.

Last year I was contacted by a production coordinator from the Channel 4 show Fresh Meat about including some Infiniminer-related footage and references into their show. I was convinced that it was a mistake and they had really intended to use Minecraft, but apparently it wasn’t, and it actually aired on television at the end of last year!
