Notch is, at this very moment, participating in the Ludum Dare, live! This challege is a regular accelerated game development Event. Participants develop games from scratch in a weekend, based on a theme suggested by community. This contest's theme is "escape".
I have the Livestream popout player taking up one half of my screen (watching in HD), The forums taking up half of the other side, and Notch's Twitter taking up the other part. Munching on popcorn and sippin' Dr. Pepper.
This is better than all of the Disney parks combined.
Watch Notch live!
You can see he did a variety of these ludum dare games before minecraft.
(I'd be surprised if minecraft classic was a ludum dcare o.o)

And it just climbed...
gimme te green plus if you like the idea..
Watching Notch create a game from scratch is boring, but watching him add to and edit a game that already exists isn't?
It's a maze-type game. Except instead of a 2-D mouse-operated game with about 2 colors, it's more.... Kick-ass.
I'm laughing my ass off from that bit. Too funny, Notch. xD
