As if they didn't already put enough good into the world, @shadsy from the Video Game History Foundation baked llama cookies to celebrate the launch of #Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story!

If there are any left at the end of the day, alpaca few to take home 🥁

What does it take to make indie games for 40 years without compromise? Our interactive documentary #Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story explains, with more than 40 of @llamasoft_ox's games as innovative, playable proof. Coming to PlayStation, Xbox, Switch & PC on March 13! #GoldMasterSeries

We can't stop talking about today's super-secret preview stream! #Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story won't be out until Wednesday, but our devs will stream a sneak peek today at 2pm PT/5pm ET at http://twitch.tv/digitaleclipsestudios. Please share the secret with everyone!

#Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord inspired nearly every RPG that followed it. Play the original in full 3D for the first time, freshly updated just last week with even more features! digitaleclipse.com/games/wizardry

Happy to say we walk this walk by keeping the original Apple II Wizardry interface accessible at all times. Toggle it full screen, lower right corner, or off completely, but it's always available because we're running a ported version of the original Pascal code underneath the Unreal Engine.

It's also available now:

Well, since this is the Apple II version, we have an amber filter, as well as black and white and color, based on vintage CRTs that were most common during that era.

Atari 8-bit and C64 are also part of this project, but we are displaying those in color, with accurate monitor bezels for each platform.

So orange is cool, but not what we were going for here.

Some early computer gamers owned color monitors; others played games in black & white or a single color tint. We've included green, amber, and white monochrome display options in The Making of #Karateka for that authentic old-school flavor.

Wishlist on Steam today! bit.ly/karatekasteam
