60 of 105 · most liked firstNew game announcement day! LLAMASOFT: THE JEFF MINTER STORY will be here soon. Get ready to get weird in this all-new interactive documentary from @digitaleclipse.bsky.social!
unlabelledView post →Today in press releases: - Someone sent a pitch for a game where the first bullet point was that will boost your gamerscore because it has Xbox achievements. - They’re making a physical version of I, Robot and they misspelled “Llamasoft” in the subject line.
unlabelledView post →Out now! Download for free at worm.net Thanks to @stinkyox.bsky.social for letting us do a Llamasoft level. It’s been an honour, and my favourite level in the game!
unlabelledView post →A true lost game: Jeff Minter's Attack of the Mutant Camels '89 was supposed to come out for the Konix Multi-System, but when the hardware disappeared, so did the game. We rescued the demo so you can finally play it in #Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story, due out 3/13.
unlabelledView post →Worms x Eric W. Schwartz Dual-layer custom level by @ericwschwartz.bsky.social, part of the free Worms DC Expansion Pack.

unlabelledView post →Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story is the only game I've ever played that makes fun of Margaret Thatcher AND you can play as a masochist who likes to get hit on the head with hammers. 10/10
unlabelledView post →It's the game you were fated to never play: Attack of the Mutant Camels for the canceled Konix console. But with Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story, the very playable demo is finally within your grasp. Sod off, fate! Play AMC '89 & 40+ Llamasoft classics on PlayStation, Xbox, Switch & PC tomorrow!
unlabelledView post →Wow, awesome to see Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story nominated in the @nyvgcc.bsky.social New York Game Awards!
unlabelledView post →Somehow, Akka Arrh has less than 50 reviews on Steam. Take one scrapped Atari shooter, modernise it with Llamasoft design sensibilities, get a game that is super cool for anyone who appreciates arcade game design. It’s on sale for about £5 right now, so check it out and see if it tickles your fancy.
unlabelledView post →This 40-year-old Llamasoft ad is really cool. Great illustration - I assume by Steinar Lund - plus an excellent lineup of classic games makes for a visually striking image that's mercifully devoid of the walls of text that often plagued game ads during this period.

unlabelledView post →OK, this makes me very happy. Evercade has just announced the Llamasoft collection. 27 of Jeff’s classic games on a single cart, including VIC Gridrunner, Ancipital, Batalyx, Voidrunner, and Llamatron: 2112. YASSSSS. I hope the big man gets a few quid out of this. evercade.co.uk/cartridges/t...
unlabelledView post →Oh snap! Roguecraft DX won Cart of the year from @totalvideogamers.bsky.social Not sure how the game managed that going against massive carts from NeoGeo, Rare and Llamasoft, but wow. Thank you guys!❤️❤️❤️ Link to video: www.youtube.com/live/88qZr4H... #evercade #amiga
unlabelledView post →Their gold master series of video game compilations, which are really just interactive museums - Tetris Forever, Llamasoft: The Jeff Minster Story, The Making of Karateka? That's dream shit, right there, blessings from a better dimension.
unlabelledView post →frankly if an action game wants you to fully get into the magic flow zone then it probably won't have boss fights showing up to smack you out of it. shoutouts to Llamasoft
unlabelledView post →Just saw that Heart of Neon, the documentary about Llamasoft by @d0kk.bsky.social, is now out. Of course I was going to love this, it's about my favorite game dev. But it's a well made film too. There's moments where you see an indie dev community that loves and supports each other and it's the best
unlabelledView post →I loved I, Robot back in the arcades of the 80s, and Llamasoft getting a crack at a sequel wasn't a pairing I'd have imagined but certainly one I was happy to see. The new game is 100% I, Robot and 100% Llamasoft, so that's 200% of classic gaming excellence. hardcoregamer.com/review-i-rob...
unlabelledView post →It’s random game Saturday! What is left to say about Tempest 2000? It’s a brilliantly intense shoot-'em-up. I prefer the cartridge soundtrack to the CD arrangements. Is that controversial? I dunno. Play it on a Jaguar, play it on Atari 50, play it on Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story, just play it.
unlabelledView post →Happy New Llamasoft Game Day to those who celebrate
unlabelledView post →"Throughout, Minter describes making games from the perspective of someone who loves to play." @gamerswithglasses.bsky.social considers the similarities between games and light synthesizers while evaluating #Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story: www.gamerswithglasses.com/reviews/llam...
unlabelledView post →We released a new Llamasoft game today! All the flashing lights, particle effects, and animal noises you want out of a Minter game with an addicting gameplay loop! Lots of little objectives to go for in each stage that encourage replays, very fun, especially in VR if you have a PS VR2!
unlabelledView post →If Llamasoft can reuse some of the same sound effects for the last 20-30 games, then it’s ok for you to reuse assets for your game too. I just wish a lot of people didn’t act so weird whenever they saw it.

unlabelledView post →I was double checking something about current Atari and I noticed that the Llamasoft collection is currently $9 on Steam. It's an excellent look at a single developer's career in the 80s as he feels his way through learning game development. Also, Tempest2000 store.steampowered.com/app/2236680/...

unlabelledView post →🕹C64 Game of the Day🕹 Hellgate (1984) by Jeff Minter and published by Llamasoft. Fast, frantic and fantastic! This game is devilishly hard and spine chillingly eerie. Do you have what it takes to be guardian of the gate? #Commodore64 #RetroGames #C64GameOfTheDay

unlabelledView post →I think the Llamasoft Jeff Minter collection by @digitaleclipse.bsky.social is the most made-for-me video game product I've played in 45 years of life on this planet.
unlabelledView post →I've been playing Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story, and it really proves how strong and vital Digital Eclipse's interactive doco format is. I was all in on Making of Karateka, but I love the game. I knew *nothing* about Minter, now I completely understand why he's so important.

unlabelledView post →If you're an indie game designer, consider getting Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story. It's a playable, interactive museum exhibit -- a fascinating look at game design and the philosophy behind it. Just make the thing you want to play, no matter how weird it may be.

unlabelledView post →Considered among the best games on the Atari Jaguar, Tempest 2000 was developed by Llamasoft and released in 1994. A remake of the classic arcade game, this tube shooter has been praised for its gameplay and soundtrack. I first played this a decade ago, but it is easily my favorite Jaguar game.

unlabelledView post →One of the open secrets of the game industry is that Jeff Minter is a massive furry. I wonder if the upcoming Llamasoft collection will touch on that at all
unlabelledView post →I've been around since it was all CPC464s and Spectrums and there have always been "woke" political games. I mean, Llamasoft were never exactly "subtle", I used to love the old Spy vs Spy game, FFS there was a Viz game! 80s UK gaming was full of parody comedy stuff.

unlabelledView post →Here's another 40-year-old oddity. Like the game I posted earlier, it's from Interceptor, but this time the art is at least relatively indicative of the game's action. Which appeared to feature camels nicked from Llamasoft, along with other oddball stuff shown in the ad.
