Seriously. Does a background story exist?
One of the best things about the early Llamasoft games was reading through the OPSB, which was usually quite mad but in a way that made sense as soon as you booted up the game. Batalyx and Mama Llama are both hilarious and quite good reads in themselves (recommended reading, my brethren).
I thought Jeff had to create some whacked out storyline for Space Giraffe to satisfy a MS requirement. I wonder if it still (really) exists and if it could be shared with us?

Yeah, I´d love to read that particular storyline.
On the other hand, if one doesn´t exist, perhaps Llamasoft could do a competition to see who could come up with something fitting...
After the Great Nuclear Misunderstanding which turned the earth back to an agricultural focus, more and more it was found that standard domestic livestock was unable to support the remaining human populace due to mutation. cows, sheep, pigs and rabbits were forcibly removed from habited areas as they caused unmentionable horrors, grew many tentacles, and scarred many generations to come. Alternatives were found in South Americas and African continents, Llamas, Alpacas, Elephants, and Hippos were the new staples of this modern world and were farmed successfully through the next millenia. After the horse had become extinct and man tamed the Unicorn a new era of prosperity form, but it was highly controlled by the religious ruling class and innovation was stifled. Man never again rose to the technological height of its ancestry but benefited a peaceful existence. This way of life survived for a further 4,000 years until an ancient disease, trapped in the frozen wastelands, revived and swept through the population, bereft of its former healing knowledge, until all human life was extinguished.
The World turned, and billions of years passed. the Sun burnt itself out and the universe darkened until time itself was no more.
Before all this however some guy programmed a fucking awesome videogame we know as Space Giraffe.
