#MinterIsComing -- tomorrow!
Ian MalcolmOne day to go... One more day, and Llamatron* on the Switch will be mine, oh yes...
[Insert laugh of the "Mwaaaaaahahahahahaha!" variety here.]
(*Plus all the many, many other goodies to explore on this imminent release, of course...)
Just finished watching this - wow, my anticipation was already all-time high but that presentation just pushed me out somewhere on the far side!
Cannot wait for tomorrow to roll around; was away for a long weekend and got home to find my pre-order sitting waiting on my Switch home screen.
Yak to the future! Rediscover more than 40 Llamasoft games from the C64, Atari 8-bit, ZX Spectrum & more in #Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story, available in just two days on PlayStation, Xbox, Switch & PC! https://www.digitaleclipse.com/games/llamasoft #MinterIsComing
Some As to your Qs about #Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story:
Physical? Planning one, but no details or ETA. Maybe don't wait. :)
Tempest 3000? We wanted it too, but wasn't feasible for this project. Not as simple as it seems!
Atari VCS? Wasn't in the original plans when we started this project, well before we joined Atari, but we'll evaluate it going forward.
Steam Deck? Works fine, plays great, hope you enjoy!
Yak? Very.
Release? #MinterIsComing 3/13 to PC, PlayStation, Xbox, & Switch.

When @llamasoft_ox updated Tempest for Atari's Jaguar, he defined the entire platform. Play Tempest 2000 with additional perks like 60fps and analog controller support in #Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story, part of our #GoldMasterSeries of interactive documentaries. #MinterIsComing March 13!
Day One purchase for me on the Switch, so will def be pre-ordering Monday! 😎
Can't wait to delve into it all, and to play so many of my favourite 8- and 16-bit games again in portable format.
#MinterIsComing indeed!
