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.

Digital Eclipse’s interactive documentary Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story will release on PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch on March 13.

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.

Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story includes:

The acclaimed originals. Play all the Minter classics you’ve heard of (and several you probably haven’t) — 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 — now with new quality-of-life features that make them more fun than ever before.

Gridrunner: Remastered. Digital Eclipse has updated Jeff’s signature shooter masterpiece with thrilling modern graphics and sound, while still running the core of the Commodore 64 version for 100% gameplay accuracy.

Light synthesizers. Explore two of Jeff Minter’s earliest light synthesizers, Psychedelia and Colourspace, with all-new options and features optimized for controller-based play.

Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story is the second installment in Digital Eclipse’s Gold Master Series, which archives video game history in a uniquely interactive, playable format. The series’ first entry, The Making of Karateka, is available on Steam, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation.
