The Ultimate Archive

Post by Yak »

Well, this is what Markie and I have been cooking up between us :D...

http://www.llamasoftarchive.co.uk/

This is to be a thorough and comprehensive archive of everything Llamasoft - I will be digging out all I can to contribute, and Markie and PVB will be working together to share their resources too. The material I already have on the Llamasoft Historical DVDs will be contributed for the DVD release, as well as anything extra I can lay hands on and/or generate before release.

Introduction, Jeff Minter - a profile, Llamasoft - a historical journey, Games, Cover Art, Video, Sprite Base, Sound Effects, Game Music, Nature of the Beast, Interviews, Photograph Gallery, Llama Tech, Llamasoft Llinks

and who knows what else we may come up with!

This will be quite a big project, and at times we may need to ask for help and input from other Forum members - but it should result in something really excellent and well worth all the effort!

Input and suggestions for extra content always helpful :)...

Nice one.

Ahhh brought a lump to my throat seeing the old Llamasoft logo in full throbbing colour :)

Who designed that originally Jeff? Was it you?

The throbbing llama thingie is from Lionhead, the stone-looking one is actually based on work done by our old printers in Tadley, who used to print all our labels and such and who originated the artwork before Steinar-era :).

Well it will take quite a while for everything to get on there, but as soon as we can get a large enough amount on there I don't see why we can't open bits up. :)

Yeah, can't wait for this.

Will there be magazine articles featuring Llamasoft/games/Jeff on there?
