Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story hits Switch on March 13th, 2024
Get ready to get weird
Prepare to 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.
As just revealed in IGN’s FanFest, Digital Eclipse’s interactive documentary Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story will release on Switch on March 13th, 2024.
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.
Play the history of one of the weirdest, wildest game developers to ever exist – a man who loves shooters and sheep, lasers and llamas. A virtual museum of design documents, 42 classic games from 8 different platforms, and all-new video features from the director of the upcoming film “Heart of Neon” tell the fascinating story of a true independent game designer.
