Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story - Co-op Review

This collection of classic games from Jeff Minter features 4 co-op titles, including Tempest 2000.

Jeff Minter is a long-haired English video game developer who got his start creating games for European computers in the early 1980s. Nowadays, Minter is best known for the Tempest series, but he has created an astounding number of games, usually by himself or with very small teams. Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story from Digital Eclipse celebrates the life and works of Mr. Minter, compiling tons of biographical material and 42 classic games in one robust package.

Verdict

The Co-Op Experience: Laser Zone - The second turret can be controlled by Player 2. Llamatron: 2112 - In Team Mode you are joined by a friend, who happens to be a camel. You work together to get the beasties and trash the opposition. You share a common score and lives. Tempest 2000 allows you to team up with a friend in Tempest Plus-mode. Revenge of the Mutant Camels (only the Atari ST-version) lets a friend join you as a goat. If the camel sits down,  the goat will climb ontop of it.
