Jeff Minter Collection

A collection of links to every commercial game by the legendary British coder Jeff Minter, founder of Llamasoft, animal-lover, and game designer extraordinaire.

Not everyone likes Jeff‘s games, but then not everyone likes Star Wars or Justin Bieber either… We all have different tastes. Jeff‘s contribution to British video gaming history, however, has been immeasurable, so we thought we’d put together a collection of links to articles about his games. We spent the majority of the past month playing mostly Minter games, to bring you this ‘special’ and these screenshots.

Listed chronologically, then alphabetically.  Click the links to see the individual games.
