Play with Doors
You play it.
According to the official Minecraft site, you have to purchase the game to play it.
Im thinking of buying a imac g5 but I don't know if I can run Minecraft on it
you can play it without downloading it but you have to buy it. (unless you play the demo or you crack it which is illegal.)
If you have downloaded minecraft launcher without buying the game, unfortunately you can not plat the game, you must buy the game first then you can play minecraftThe new minecraft is currently in beta, but you can pay to play beta. The old mine craft is free. You can find it by going to Minecraft's website.
You can download them without buying minecraft, you'll just have no use though.
Yes. Minecraft Classic is free to play in browser, but Minecraft Alpha (and soon Beta) you need to pay 9.95 Euros (currently until Oct. 30, 2010, when it will change to 20 Euros) to buy the game. You can then either play in browser, or you can download it and play it directly off your computer.
Buying it from Mojang directly.
Yes, but you would only be able to play it singleplayer and I believe that you would need to be offline(without internet) Same goes for regular Minecraft Client.
Yes, but choosing your minecraft username is the last step.
Minecraft gift cards are for buying an account for a friend.
for playing the demo you play it for 5 days or 100 minutes in real life. (i keep on restarting it to keep on playing.) for buying and downloading it, you play for as long as you want.
