Is that him?
"Minecraft Playstation Edition" is a game developed by Mojang Studios in the Year 1998 in a partnership with Sony Interactive Entertainment for the Playstation Console released in 1994, this game was a pre-cursor to the classic 'Minecraft' of 2009, although not many people are aware of it due to it being pulled from store shelves just a year after release with only a 1000 or so copies ever being sold, I was lucky enough to stumble upon a copy at a retro game store about a month ago, here's my experience with the title.
If you'd like to play the game yourself via emulation here's a link to a rom to download as finding a physical copy like myself is nearly impossible to do: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/mcsx-minecraft-ps1-edition
Thanks to xKazIsKooIx for ripping the game files to allow others to play the game
Any help to learn more about the game would be appreciated as I'm still learning about it myself and plan to continue my exploration into the title more on this channel

02/05/2024 @Gundamu-p9m: if you want to make herobrine seem less scary then think of him as that strange friend who is impressed with what you are doing and like watching
02/05/2024 @vadiks20032: if you want to make herobrine less scary imagine how stupid his name is i mean hero brine from half life 2 loll
04/05/2024 @dachemistofx1667: @vadiks20032 from Half-Life 2?
02/05/2024 @louizeandrei: Every playthrough I watch in this channel I just get so anxious seeing that hunger bar not being filled up or just slightly full enough to get health regen, you gotta eat more my guy
02/05/2024 @Triikouu: if anyone is looking for the morse code dechipered, it's:
at the beginning in the startup
YOU'RE IN TOO DEEP
at the end
YOU CAN'T SAVE HIM NOW
02/05/2024 @CrazyCobraCC: Thanks!
02/05/2024 @Platinumoxide: The ones that played by the PSX's disc drive, right?
02/05/2024 @Illegal_Immigrant: good catch. I was just thinking that too
02/05/2024 @nathannightmare1604: You know... The worst part isn't Herobrine or that fact Mojang lied about the origins of this game for years...
It's that Mojang took over 10 years to add the stuff from this edition back and pretend that it's new stuff.
03/05/2024 @valuerie: They had to let it trickle out otherwise everyone would question where all this innovation suddenly came from
02/05/2024 @Aranthappyrobot: I just noticed how warm the torch light is in this version, don’t know why but I feel that adds to the off-putting atmosphere.
02/05/2024 @baldiplays7080: man this series is criminally underated. i would love to see someone like night mind to a video on this.
03/05/2024 @valuerie: Nexpo definitely needs to get in here
02/05/2024 @s0n1cd3v: Damm it is getting more creepy each day of the exploration, literally getting more on end and more anxious each new exploration, and no, you are not going insane, I can hear the whispering too. I feel the entities present on this build of the game are getting more aggressive each day, which is definitely not a good sign. Can’t wait for more, hang in there and good luck, I know it must be way scarier to play in person.
PS: At this rate your PS1 could get wrecked, that amount of constant disk loading and glitched BIOS startup can’t be good.
02/05/2024 @_memoryleak_: iirc the startup sound’s function is to inform the user if the system’s working correctly and the disc is read correctly. it looks like the game needs to load lots of data off the disc and store all of it inside of RAM, occasionally re-reading data once the old data is no longer needed. maybe the game managed to save something inside of ROM (some “dark magic” trickery so the game can run at all?)
02/05/2024 @s0n1cd3v: @_memoryleak_ you do make a good point, hmmm…
It definitely could be a possibility, I have found it weird lately how such a game could run so well on the PS1 while fan attempts have struggled to do so on newer systems for quite a while now, there has to be some trickery to make the game run at all, and maybe you are correct on your statement.
02/05/2024 @tamacon9000: watching this really brings me back to when I was youmger getting scared shitless of the old beta versions lol. great playthrough too
02/05/2024 @alexeipino3994: Im starting to feel bad for that playstation
02/05/2024 @ThoseAnimations411: This inspired me to try the emulator, I ended up getting a lot more scared than I thought I would be.
02/05/2024 @resistantlucario6910: Man this game is so nostalgic for me. Thanks for reminding me of this classic gem. Boutta try to snag this for myself.
02/05/2024 @professorparabeetle: Hey, I just discovered your play through of this game and I gotta say I applaud you for finding such an obscure artifact. I hope they put this rom on the cutting room floor soon, and this brings me nostalgia because I grew up playing the Xbox 360 edition. I know what using a controller is like lol.
02/05/2024 @cactispartan: The Morse at the the startup: YOU’RE IN TOO DEEP
I’m still trying to figure out what the Morse at the end says since I need to slow it down, but what I have so far is “YOU CAN….” I think it will be you cannot escape but I will edit this when I figure it out
03/05/2024 @RomanZ0119: Look at the top comment on this video
04/05/2024 @anothertwentyfivecentsdown: It says "you cant save him now"
02/05/2024 @AcersNN: Glad im here in the early days of this ARG. remember me, future internet historians.
02/05/2024 @FrioTheDerg: I got a tip for the next time you document some more gameplay, try using some redstone to make like, basic traps.
Y'know, tripwire that triggers a noteblock.
It could help, who knows.
02/05/2024 @BoopSnootAndTroubleshoot: Drinking game:
Whenever he says "this version of the game", you take a shot.
02/05/2024 @Fishmen64: my livr 😭
02/05/2024 @Amutsuri: I don't know how you can keep playing this. Personally, if I had even made it this far, my psychiatrist would have to tell my family something like "you can't save him now." Because I'd be in too deep, y'know? The atmosphere is great, like many games of it's time, but the whispering is driving me mad. I'd hate to imagine what it would do to me in person, and I hope it's not doing the same to you
And definitely hope it's not doing what it's doing to that playstation to you, jesus christ I feel bad for the poor thing
02/05/2024 @Haydn8oR: Never thought I'd stumble across content like this. I love it.
02/05/2024 @BANCLAMOFFICIAL: Was sent to your channel and i'm so glad i was! This series is great! I can't wait to see the next installment!
02/05/2024 @Mega__00F: I just binged all of your videos (except the music) and I want to say that these videos are very well made. I remember playing the Gameboy Color Version of Minecraft when I was younger. (also it's my personal head cannon that the music we hear in regular Minecraft was remade by c418 or just re-released somehow)
02/05/2024 @alexmart9963: NO WAY DUDE, I think I was the only one who knew about the Gameboy color edition. I always told my friends that I played Minecraft a very long time ago before it's release in 2009 but nobody believed me. What a shame that the Gameboy Advance version never got released due to the low sales.
02/05/2024 @yaksuba4676: thanks for showing this version, it's kinda clunky and creepy idk how you can still play this
02/05/2024 @Prime_terminus: i subscribed after the first episode and I'm happy to see this channel grow
02/05/2024 @acompletelyrandominternetuser: 0:15 I am 100% sure that noise the PS1 makes is a message in Morse code
02/05/2024 @acompletelyrandominternetuser: It was indeed a message in Morse, I just translated it and it says:
"YOU'RE IN TOO D#"
does anyone know what it could mean?
02/05/2024 @ahegaohoodyguy: @acompletelyrandominternetuser I checked and the last word is "deep"
02/05/2024 @acompletelyrandominternetuser: @ahegaohoodyguy thanks for that 👍
then the message would be:
"you're in to deep"
02/05/2024 @paintballsaturn: what about 14:34
02/05/2024 @acompletelyrandominternetuser: @paintballsaturn I know, it's going to be more complicated to translate that.
02/05/2024 @acompletelyrandominternetuser: @paintballsaturn I already translated the message, it says: "YOU CAN'T SAVE HIM NOW"
02/05/2024 @paintballsaturn: @acompletelyrandominternetuser thanks for taking your time to translate the meaning behind the message, can wait for the next documentation !!
02/05/2024 @acompletelyrandominternetuser: @paintballsaturn you are welcome 👍
02/05/2024 @ForestHabitats: i love the PSX mod, I recently saw it on a video titled PSX minecraft is a real creepy pasta and it’s captured my attention since I am a big fan of those type of games
02/05/2024 @bbredster: You deserve all the support you get this is a great series! It's not often you find something with this much love and care put into it! (As I was writing this comment something fell right at Herobrine showed himself again)
02/05/2024 @gearsgamer7115: Dude. Brings back memories from my childhood, but also scares me with all these sightings. Also the music you posted has Morse code on it idk it says to stop playing.
02/05/2024 @-insertnamehere-: I swear that the intro where there's the sounds, looks so much like a morse code. might just be coincidence tho
02/05/2024 @MrZilvis78: Best of luck with the series,clearly those in the know are in the kow...lol but the presentation and let's say...how you react to things are 100% what is gaining you views/subs it's doing what it should lets leave it at that.
02/05/2024 @laslosermcuseless1574: This game reminds me of fearful harmony
03/05/2024 @valuerie: YOU'RE/IN/TOO/DEEP
02/05/2024 @Bruh-ps2lh: Love this man
04/05/2024 @Wayyy2Kool: The loading at the beginning is morse code for "You're in too deep"
02/05/2024 @JoBot__: I think you're gonna hit 1K subscribers by the end of today. That's awesome. :D
02/05/2024 @nununup4243: The morse code at the end says you can't save him now. For people who weren't feeling like installing a morse decoder app
02/05/2024 @ThirdyMeowy: oh my god my audio stopped working after the "my mic stopped working" video and i thought ur mic was still broken but no
that's so scary helppp :sob:
02/05/2024 @octoburr426: okay i’m going to break immersion here but i have a suggestion for something i think could be really cool as like a one time little trick. i will put it in the reply to this. if you don’t wanna know so you could possibly experience it freshly, don’t look.
02/05/2024 @octoburr426: what if you had the whoever is playing the game say that they are going to go do something in their house, and they leave the PS running and will be right back. When they get up, the little steve in the corner begins to mimic their movements in the house. Not like fluidly with head turning and stuff, but he walks when they walk, in the direction they walk relative to the PS. maybe he ticks red if they get hurt or something. just to imply that they are A: being tracked, or B: are tied to the game somehow.
02/05/2024 @vedosin5693: The thing in the mine with white eyes was maybe the thing that I saw in your first video
02/05/2024 @Contumelio7341: 8:22 This part reminded me of the white eyes creepypasta, which in short is a minecraft creepypasta that inspired the herobrine creepypasta
02/05/2024 @RedBlueNinja: dude this actually made herobrine scary again wtf! great content!
02/05/2024 @luigi_blanko: Should've put some blocks in your hotbar, so you can block the pathway to you just incase those things chases you
02/05/2024 @-insertnamehere-: morse code at the end translation: YOUCANTSAVEHIMNOW (-.-- --- ..- -.-. .- -. - ... .- ...- . .... .. -- -. --- .--)
02/05/2024 @Adriene4761: thank you ive had no time to do it myself
02/05/2024 @-insertnamehere-: @Adriene4761 your welcome ^^
02/05/2024 @JoBot__: The disk drive noises at the beginning are Morse Code and transcribe to "-.-- --- ..- .----. .-. . / .. -. / - --- --- / -.. . . .--.". Translated, this is "YOU'RE IN TOO DEEP".
07/05/2024 @Penny-vj1gc: It kinda sounded like a sick beat tho 💀
02/05/2024 @os-zodiac: congrats on 900 subs

02/05/2024 @Paulwagner-zi7dr: Look I am pretty sure that the first loading screen is a Morse code.
02/05/2024 @Gundamu-p9m: Managed to get the iso working on my end nothing strange occurred yet except what seemed like another player or its probably the little Steve in the corner idk could be my mind playing tricks on me
02/05/2024 @land3021: A real blink and you'll miss it moment 4:02
6:37 I swear I heard one of them say "Want some clay?"
9:00 Dissembodied white eyes eh? 9:31 Ok a bit more than just eyes...
12:17 Well I'll be damned, they screwed up the recording again. Hate'em staticy-hunchback-white-eyed-endermen-lookin' fellas!
02/05/2024 @WDWhat-sn9iw: you know, i think to make this less scary, bring a friend along to hang out with you while you play, then you could possibly play longer sessions. i don't mean to play the game with you, since it seems like this version doesn't have that option available, but just sitting with you, watching you play
02/05/2024 @blueshelledcardbord8819: the disc moving sounds like morse
im probably just skeptical
02/05/2024 @matheusagrelos6510: at the end there is a morse code
02/05/2024 @lovecrisis619: why was he trying to find more iron if at the beginning it showed that he put 13 raw iron in the double chest?
02/05/2024 @Snail4143: bro was jus chill like that why were you scared💀💀😭
also genuine question do you actually get scared when the unexpected jumpscares happen but act like you're genuinely terrified and shivering or do you expect it
02/05/2024 @zilly_o: i feel like every time the ps1 makes those sounds it's morse code, but i'm both too lazy to check if it is, ad i don't know how to translate morse code
02/05/2024 @q0reqore: DUDE I JUST FOUND THIS OUT. if you speed up the first 30 seconds of the video, the little like disc read noises sound like morse code. I DONT KNOW SHIT ABOUT MORSE CODE SO IF ANYONE DOES IT COULD MEAN SOMETHING.
02/05/2024 @JoBot__: I figured it out. It says "YOU'RE IN TOO DEEP".
-.-- --- ..- .----. .-. . / .. -. / - --- --- / -.. . . .--.
02/05/2024 @Hiro04: If the whispering is a glitch what would have even been it’s original intended purpose?
02/05/2024 @Pokycraftgamer9: Cave Ambiance most likely
02/05/2024 @inspetortrufa382: The fog is coming i guess
02/05/2024 @8bug: Bro turned into sans at the end
02/05/2024 @Adriene4761: i recognize there being Morse code but im not sure how to decipher it and i don't think i have time to do it since my college, there is one at the end and at the beginning loading screen. i think. please reply if you find what it says!
02/05/2024 @CerbTheOne: Someone else solved it in the comments and I double checked. It says "you're in too deep"
02/05/2024 @Adriene4761: omg!! that you for telling me! and that's so interesting but true we are in very deep
@CerbTheOne
02/05/2024 @OKIRALOL: YO! I decided to get an emulator and run this on my pc, you can ask how it goes later, im quite interested of minecraft myself, i didnt know the psx had a version for it, kinda strange tbh, hmu if you want!
02/05/2024 @the_crum: have you considered bringing a friend? apparently if you find a rom editor, turn on rom management and get the ESSENTIAL rom hack for mcsx, you can invite your friends to your world
02/05/2024 @mr.pigeon0: we need that disc to be dumped
02/05/2024 @cosmic_Iatte: Uhh Dude...Why aren't you making emerald tools.
02/05/2024 @vadiks20032: fun fact: developers actually wanted to make the game horror
02/05/2024 @cheamcreems7895: Its so cool that you're sharing this with us man, but I can't help but feel none of us should be watching this. Theres no way Mojang had THIS much development early in the game and chose to recall or scrap it WITHOUT a good reason. Don't mean to sound like a conspiracy theorist but they certainly went to a lot of trouble to conceal they ever made this. Maybe let sleeping dogs lie?
02/05/2024 @cheamcreems7895: Maybe the weird enemy coded into the game is like that other video you shared- a scare tactic to prevent people from playing the game, kinda like the piracy warning. Maybe there's something in the game its trying to hide. Idk man all I'm saying is curiosity killed the cat
02/05/2024 @IkinBBfromAnthologyOfTheKiller: @cheamcreems7895 that makes a LOT of sense, good theory. I don't think a game this impressive and innovative can exist at that time and not become a big hit without any interference.
02/05/2024 @vvvelx_gamer: this is rly fucking with u thx man
edit: yes its him u got me to bro
02/05/2024 @permahzz: Ores should use the old icon
