I’ve just read an interview on GamaSutra<\/a>\u00a0with the legend that is Jeff Minter<\/a>, the creator of some of the craziest games i’ve ever played including one of my favourites “Revenge Of The Mutant Camels”<\/p>\n

He was also the creator of one of the only decent games for the Atari Jaguar, Tempest 2000<\/p>\n

I didn’t realise he was still around but he did the visualisation work for the music player on the XBox 360 (you know, those funky psychedelic\u00a0lights)\u00a0and has an XBox Live Arcade title due out (Space Giraffe)<\/p>\n

It’s an interesting read. Also check out his website<\/a> which has loads of information including a download section for some of those classics<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
