Jeff Minter's new game... by mark 02/01/2003, 8:03pm PST
One of the maybe 5 names I respect in the video gaming world is Jeff Minter. I am an 80s gamer at heart and Attack of the Mutant Camels, Gridrunner, Photon Storm, Llamatron, Defender 2, Tempest 2000, etc. are all among my favorite videogames. It was then with a mix of excitement, shock and revulsion that I should see this.

Fucking Peter Molyneux?? Maybe I'll restate that in a slantier font for emphasis:
Fucking Peter Molyneux??

While It's good to see that Minter's brand of wierd lightshow/shoot-em-up can get him some capital, way to side with the devil. Sko proto screenshots found here.

Also: why the gamecube?

The stuff he's done lately has been oldschool, but not so pretty. A couple of pocket pc games he later ported to PC, and gridrunner++ which has a hella fun demo, though I haven't seen the full game. Anyway, I'm still pretty hyped about this...
