Here is a little chat from Jeff
Minter about the history of
Llamasoft, problems with
distribution and even a look at one
of Jeff's First games on the PET. It
makes some interesting viewing and
lasts over 1 hour, although some
time is spent promoting his latest
creations like Space Giraffe
The title of the video is called
"Llamasoft And The Space Giraffe"
The video is by Google

Abstract
Jeff "Yak" Minter has been
developing video games from the
Sinclair Spectrum era on up through
the present day. If you were alive
in the 8-bit years, you've probably
played one of his games: Llamatron,
Attack of the Mutant Camels,
Gridrunner and Iridis Alpha were
among the better-known ones. If you
were one of the 30 people to buy an
Atari Jaguar, you probably bought
his "Tempest 2000" and "Defender
2000" cartridges. And if you own an
Xbox 360, you've also seen his work:
the built-in music visualizer is his
creation. His current project is an
XBox Live Arcade game temporarily
titled "Space Giraffe", which is an
attempt to bring the classic Atari
game Tempest...
