Brilliant news! I will be double dipping on the PC/Switch with this. As I want a proper joystick to play some of the games (have a big arcade stick for the PC). Switch for the sofa surfing portable convenience!
Just having this all in one place instantly accessible on the Switch is just a fantastic thought...Ah man just a shame I can't be diving into this over the festive period! I do have my Retro Gamer LLamasoft special DVD though... oh and all the other Llamasoft work on my 360/PC to give me something to experience whilst waiting! Oh and have Akka Arrh on the Switch ready and waiting for some attention too.. so plenty of LS goodness....
Hope this does really well for LS! Best of wishes guys!

Bummer they couldn't work out the licensing or whatever was necessary for Defender 2000, especially since Rich did such an amazing job on that Jag emu. (I think that's a hugely overlooked gem of a game), but otherwise I'm really excited for this. Digital Eclipse did such a great job on the Atari 50.
I wonder if there’ll be additional games to download in an update like Atari 50, annoying the ST version of Andes Attack isn’t there, although might be quite hard to map the controls.
Also, I seem to remember the Amiga version of AotMC was superior to the ST version too. Still, exciting to be able to carry around all the old games with you.
Pre-ordered for my switches this morning. Really looking forward to some (maybe twin stick?) Llamatron and Super Gridrunner (I think I've said before but I'm xurious to see how mouse control converts to sticks) as well as all the rest (a few of which I've never played as I didn't have access to a Vic20, or (weirdly) a Konix Multisystem).
IIRC Yak said a bit more work was done on the amiga version of AotMC (I think he said so in the readme file; I could be wrong as it's been a few decades since I read it), as I imagine amiga owners complained that Llamatron on the amiga wasn't vastly superior to the ST version and as we all know, even games that were better on the ST than the amiga, were still better on the amiga.
I just skimmed through the pre-release video digital eclipse put on youtube and the ST games are the Jaguar conversions, which seemed somewhat convoluted but made sense given they'd got jaguar emulation sorted from atari 50 (which also explains why they didn't use the amiga versions, and certainly showed me regarding my previous post), This is good as it would save me a shedload not having to look for the cart for my Jaguar late on a weekend night when I've had too many beers and think it'd be a good idea to 'just have a quick look' on ebay. Again.
Still really looking forward to going through this and, quite frankly, tomorrow needs to be quicker at arriving.
After pondering over which version to go for (Switch / PC or Xbox) finally decided to go with the Switch version as it seems as good as anywhere and its portable should I decided to play somewhere other than a TV screen.
Really looking forward to this. Hopefully I'll also pick up a physical copy at some point too.

Yes, I was really surprised to hear the ST ports were actually the Jag ports. Wonder if whoever did the Jag ports got credit for that too..
Still waiting for this to unlock on the Switch... any ideas when digital games typically unlock?
Not sure how well the controls of some of the older games will translate to a modern pad over a micro-switched stick though. Guess I'll find out later... Probably end up double dipping on this and picking it up on the PC too (have a stick on this).
Anyone played this yet? Not sure if its out there on any other format as of yet? Notice the Steam version currently has no option to buy!

Steam says it unlocks in approx 3 hours, so 15:00 UK time.
I'll get it there but I'm about to head away for a few days and not taking much tech, so will have to wait until next week to enjoy.

Ah OK expect it will be around that time on the Switch too... Apparently its playable on the Xbox now however this might be people manipulating their regions and moving to New Zealand...
It will be quite nice to actually have a play with the Konix Mulitsystem demo... this image always amused me back in the day...
Although guessing with a VR headset on that setup might be interesting these days?!
Wonder how much of "game" is actually there on the demo?!
