Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story Is A Celebration Of Britain’s Finest Indie Game Makers
The name Jeff Minters may not mean much to this generation of gamers, but in the 80s and 90s he was a British legend and best-known game maker in the block. He’s known for Tempest 2000, but also for classics and obscure hits like Gridrunner, Revenge of the Mutant Camels, and Llamatron.
And now we’re getting an interactive documentary and retro game collection called Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story. The games collection features the man’s work tailored and presented by Digital Eclipse, who are known for the Making of Karateka and Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration. Both titles were regarded as great interactive documentaries focusing on their respective creators, so no doubt the Jeff Minters Story will be just as informative and entertaining. Here are the features list:
Play the Acclaimed Originals
Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story includes 42 classic games from eight 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 percent gameplay accuracy.

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.
About Heart of Neon
Heart of Neon is a feature documentary about legendary game designer and programmer Jeff Minter, a computer artist whose influential career has endured almost the entire history of home video game entertainment. Directed by industry veteran Paul Docherty, the film Heart of Neon is not only a unique insight into the video games community, but is also a celebration of the joy that comes from making and playing captivating digital art. Docherty contributed over an hour of all-new video featurettes to Digital Eclipse’s Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story.
Check out the trailer below. Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story has no release date, but it will be out for PC and consoles.
