TL;DR, get this release if you are ANY interested at all in Llamasoft's work. While this doesn't have EVERYTHING Jeff Minter had created, this is still a very well made package to learn about and play a big chunk of his early work. [Quick side note: I would recommend Gridrunner++ and Hover Bovver 2 from his itch.io, and especially recommend Moose Life and Minotaur Arcade on Steam or PS4 for anyone interested in trying out some more recent games that aren't in this collection.] Linux users will be glad to know this game works well in WINE. No issues when I tested it on my Manjaro desktop with a graphics card. All the games work well on PC. For the Switch version, all but the Konix and the "Atari-ST" games run at full speed. I'm hoping a future update will improve those 4 on the switch version, but it is still a nice buy. Not all the games will be a hit, but you can discover some new favorites. Some are intuitive like the Gridrunner games, while others may need a reading of the manuals, seeing the button mappings, or even watching youtube videos to understand it better. The collection has rewind for the 8-bit games and save states for almost all. Controls are spot on. Anything that isn't intuitive usually has button explanations on the bottom tips display. Tempest 2000 can also use the mouse! You would enable Analog Input in the menu for that, and it works pretty well (though for the flying bonus stages, you'd have to use right mouse button and scroll wheel button to go up and down). Since many of these games are from computers, you can use their original keyboard bindings on them, which is quite nice for the light synths in here. My one minor nitpick I have is that the Atari-ST games are really Atari Jaguar ports which may have some modifications. I only know of Llamatron, but I'm okay with it. Although the sounds are wrong, the toned down strobe effects make this version more enjoyable to me.
