I even (quite a few years ago) successfully ran an older version of Minecraft on a laptop released in 2003. That had a Radeon 9000 graphics with a whole 32MB of VRAM.

And yes, it was playable with IIRC around 20fps, with minimum settings and a performance-tweaking mod (Optifine?). I played it a lot, since that laptop was all I had.

Even 0ad (the open source RTS game) was playable on that.

That was maybe in 2013 or something like that, so the machine was "only" 10 years old.

The Radeon 9xxx series were a beast, I envied the 9700 one from my Geforce 2MX.
