Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story

Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story is a documentary game that lets you play through 42 classic titles from designer Jeff Minter's back catalog while exploring behind-the-scenes design documents and new video features about how each one was made.

The games span eight early computers and consoles. From the Sinclair ZX81 and Commodore VIC-20 through the Atari Jaguar, including a remastered version of the shooter Gridrunner alongside originals like Attack of the Mutant Camels and Llamatron. Each title is playable in full, not just shown as a clip, so you can sit with the shooters and light synthesizer programs exactly as they ran on their original hardware.

Alongside the games sits a museum-style archive of design documents, sketches and newly filmed video segments that walk through Minter's decades of work. Tracing his shift from early shooters to his later psychedelic, animal-themed style. The whole thing is organized as a browsable timeline rather than a straight list of downloads, letting you move between the story and the games it is telling you about.
