Good old KSP.

This is my favorite one from back in the day:

The first time I got to capture both Kerbin and the Mun in the same image (like Voyager 1 got to do!) and enter solar orbit (like Voyager 1 got to do!)

Addendum:

Also, I never get tired of this vid from the old days:

Ah, the good 'ol sticky launchpad.

There's still a bit of stickiness with terrain but it's more a necessary evil to stop things from sliding around too much.

KSP Didn't change much"?

Really?

It changed a hell of a lot. Kerbin got a massive overhaul, so did the mun, new planets, new parts, new graphics new... everything.

Also, more parts, better parts, and improved parts took away a lot of the 'whackiness' of early KSP, where ships disintegrating mid-flight and exploding on the launchpad was pretty common because everything would wibble-wobble constantly, there were no advanced engines to get heavy things up so you had to just have tons of tanks and engines firing at once (without struts, remember), there weren't CoM guides or RCS or really anything to keep you stable, and no launchpad clamps so the sheer weight of your rocket often just caused it to collapse into a singularity. Part descriptions are now slightly more serious with the worst offenders being the descriptions on the original dozen parts that haven't changed (basically anything that comes from 'lying on the side of the road' or 'Jeb's junkyard'). There was also more seat-of-the-pants flying.

I'm glad it moved away from that. There's still people that like to hang onto that notion, but the very nature of KSP is no longer anything like that video. The addition of struts basically 180'd KSP's 'feel' in one patch.
