Llamasoft The Jeff Minter Story review

System: Switch
Release date: March 13, 2024
Developer: Digital Eclipse
Publisher: Digital Eclipse


There have been some outstanding documentaries about video games released over the past few years, chronicling the development of major games like Psychonauts 2 and The Last of Us at a level of transparency that is quite rare in the secretive modern industry landscape. And while I adore these types of projects, what better way is there to experience a slice of gaming history than by playing through it? Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story is the latest attempt at an interactive history lesson from developer Digital Eclipse, and this project focuses on telling the story of the rise of the studio behind classic score-chasers like Gridrunner and Tempest 2000. This package compiles over 40 of Jeff Minter’s programs – not all of them are games, interestingly – alongside a swath of video interviews and documents to pore over. While I didn’t find every piece of the package inherently interesting, overall this a great glimpse into the mind of one of gaming’s earliest avant-garde developers, and there’s plenty of fun to be had along the way.

Rusted Moss release date

Thanks to various retailer listings, we have the release date for Rusted Moss. It will be hitting Switch on June 20, 2024.

We first heard about Rusted Moss for Switch back in November. Playism said it would be publishing the title sometime this spring, but didn’t provide a more specific window.

We have an update on Capes and the release date is approaching soon. Today, publisher Daedalic Entertainment and developer Spitfire Interactive confirmed the launch for May 2024 – an exact date will be shared “very soon”.

Capes, which was announced for Switch just over a year ago, is a turn-based superhero tactics game. Although it was originally slated for last year, it ended up being quietly delayed.
