Before he was getting featured in Nine Inch Nails videos, Jeff Minter was making mobile games that sold like seven copies. They no longer work on many iOS devices and will be rendered unplayable completely by iOS 11. Which is a shame, because some of ‘em are pretty mint. So I’m gonna record some raw footage from the ones I like the most, so that they may be preserved at least a little.
Here’s some footage of Minotron: 2112, a sequel to Minter’s wonderful Atari ST Robotron-alike Llamatron. It features the first 26 stages on “Simplified” mode (which means I only control movement, aiming and firing is handled automagically).
Minter’s first iOS game, a curious take on Asteroids… and the Atari 2600 launch game Combat. I tried to do the black hole trick, but failed.
