Enter the mind of Jeff Minter, maker of some of the weirdest games
of all time.

Gridrunner. Revenge of the Mutant Camels. Tempest 2000. Llamatron.
In the British gaming universe of the 80s and 90s, nobody made
games like Jeff Minter. Now, in a new interactive documentary from
Digital Eclipse, you can play the history of one of the weirdest,
wildest game developers to ever exist - a man who loved shooters
and sheep, lasers and llamas.

LLAMASOFT:

Journey back in time to an era of cassette tapes, photocopied
zines, and README.TXT. An era in which a kid with a Commodore
VIC-20 and dreams of radioactive sheep could become one of
Britain's best-known game makers. A virtual museum of design
documents, playable games, and all-new video features tell the
fascinating story of a true independent game designer.

PLAY THE ACCLAIMED ORIGINALS.

Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story includes 42 classic games from 8
different platforms, from Jeff Minter's earliest work on the
Sinclair ZX81 and Commodore VIC-20, to later work on the Spectrum,
Commodore 64 and Atari 800, and deep into the 16-bit era with the
Atari ST and Atari Jaguar.

GRIDRUNNER: REMASTERED.

Jeff's signature shooter masterpiece Gridrunner gets an all-new
look from Digital Eclipse, updated into thrilling modern graphics
and sound - while still running the core of the Commodore 64
version for 100% gameplay accuracy.

GAMES, GAMES, GAMES.

Sheep In Space. Andes Attack. Attack of the Mutant Camels. Matrix.
Metagalactic Llamas Battle at the Edge of Time. Hellgate. Laser
Zone. And many more. All the Minter classics you've heard of (and
several you probably haven't), now with new quality-of-life
features to make playing them more fun than ever before.

Two of Jeff Minter's earliest "light synthesizers", Psychedelia and
Colourspace, are also included, with all-new options and features
optimized for controller-based play. Finally, Jeff's demo of Attack
of the Mutant Camels for the unreleased Konix Multi-System console
is also included.

THE GOLD MASTER SERIES.

New from Digital Eclipse (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The
Cowabunga Collection, Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration, The
Making of Karateka), the Gold Master Series presents iconic games
in an innovative "interactive documentary" format, putting the
shared history of games and their creators into one comprehensive
package.

Languages: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish and Japanese.

Update Notes: v1.0.2 (v131072). Firmware 17.0.1 and master key 17.0
