And then we have The Llamasoft Collection (Computer cart 10) bringing a staggering 27 of Jeff Minter's legendary udder-obsessed games across most home computer formats stretching from the VIC-20 to the Atari ST. This cart includes legendary titles like Gridrunner, Attack of the Mutant Camels and Llamatron 2112, Voidrunner and Hover Bovver, with some variants.
