Yes! Very nice, looking forward for this!

... but that's not on GOG, guys. Can you please bring it here?

Oh yes, we need to go bother Konami!

Jeff Minter...that's a name I haven't heard in quite a while.

Interesting announcement.

For those as curious as I am, the attachment shows all 42 games, and the systems they were on.

Cool, but that seems kinda pointless without the accompanying games.

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.

A virtual museum of design documents, playable games, and all-new video features tell the fascinating story of a true independent game designer.

Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story includes 42 classic games from 8 different platforms

I'll be disappointed if there isn't a trivia section about what Jeff was smoking while working on each game. ;)

I must once again give acclaim to GOG for burying the lede and making this seem like a nothingburger of a movie release.

Interactive documentary made it sound like some FMV nonsense.

Crikey. One of the first games I ever bought with my own money as a kid was Llamasoft's "Centipede" for the ZX81, back in the days when mail-order meant mailing off a cheque in the post and hoping something would come in return.

Still got the cassette somewhere. The ZX81 might not have had any colour (or sound) but Jeff certainly made up for it with the game's bright orange cassette inlay - with a picture of a llama on it.

The cassette inlay had "High volume, mid tone" handwritten on it in biro - and I always wondered whether that was written in Jeff's own fair hand. Maybe this "interactive documentary" will answer that :)

Loved Jeff games on my Atari ST. Cant wait to play his classic games again

That was the first thing I though too!

I just destroyed a few countries because I slammed my bucks so hard on the table it caused an impact like a 2km wide asteroid would.

Can't wait for release soon enough, I suppose it comes out next year though. Digital Eclipse easily the best devs of this year, the making of Karateka has been one of the best experiences too. We need more unique games that work more like a museum, especially on a site that essentially also works like one.

I can tell you what he drank. When I was an M.A. student, another person on the course was a former Speccie games programmer. The rise of retro gaming thoroughly bemused him. "I've met Jeff Minter. *shrug* Smelt of Guinness."
