    Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story details the career of one of gaming’s great auteurs. But it also serves as a reminder of the time when an ambitious teenager could create the next hit, predating the rise of corporate publishing and their boilerplate blockbusters. Sure, many of the games feel dated and are geared toward historians, but Digital Eclipse’s underdog story is engaging. Given the current state of the industry, it’s also essential.

    Although few titles in the collection can honestly still entertain today - in the meantime we have become accustomed to much more - rediscovering Jeff Minter's "woolly" games was a fun and very, very intriguing journey. Added to the nostalgia is the possibility of knowing completely unpublished details of the development, and this collection, very well done in terms of quantity and quality of the material proposed, has an indisputable historical value. A journey that is willingly retraced by reading, listening and playing. Especially playing.

    Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story is for game historians and enthusiasts, not casual gamers. And even fans may be a little annoyed by the fact that it only covers a small part of Jeff Minter's vast and prolific career, not even the whole first 20 years. So while you can check out many of Jeff Minter's important games, you won't be able to play the best ones, which came in later years. And that's a shame.
