  • Llamatron (stylized Llamatron: 2112 on the title screen) is a multidirectional shooter video game programmed by Jeff Minter of Llamasoft and released in 1991 for the Atari ST and Amiga and in 1992 for MS-DOS. Based on Robotron: 2084, players of Llamatron control the eponymous creature in an attempt to stop an alien invasion of Earth and rescue animals—referred to as "Beasties"—for points. Players advance by destroying all of the enemies on each level using a laser that fires automatically in the direction that the Llamatron is moving. Various power-ups exist to aid the player in defeating the wide variety of enemies and obstacles they face along the way. Released in the later years of the Atari ST and Amiga, Llamatron was distributed as shareware, containing the full game and a request to register the program for £5 if the user enjoyed the game. As of March 1992, at least 800 people had registered the game, making it unusually successful for shareware distributed without locked features or other purchase incentives. Reviews of both the Atari ST and Amiga versions praised its addictive gameplay, sound effects, and value for the registration price. Minter released a commercial remake of the game for iOS, Minotron: 2112, in 2011. (en)
  • Llamatron (scritto Llamatron: 2112 nel menù iniziale) è un videogioco per PC sviluppato da Jeff Minter della software house Llamasoft e distribuito sotto la licenza shareware per Atari ST e Amiga nel 1991 e poi per MS-DOS l'anno successivo. Ispirato a Robotron: 2084, permette di controllare una sorta di lama per fermare un'invasione aliena che minaccia la Terra e salvare gli animali - indicati come "Beasties" - per guadagnare più punti possibili. I giocatori avanzano sconfiggendo tutti i nemici di ogni livello usando un laser, che si attiva automaticamente nella direzione in cui si muovono, e vari power-up. L'edizione iniziale diffusa per shareware conteneva il gioco completo e una richiesta per registrarsi al programma, dal costo di cinque sterline, qualora l'utente lo avesse apprezzato. A partire dal marzo 1992, almeno ottocento persone lo avevano acquistato, rendendolo insolitamente famoso per il suo tempo e per il suo modello di software. Le recensioni di entrambe le versioni per Atari ST e Amiga furono ampiamente positive: i critici lodarono il gameplay avvincente, gli effetti sonori e il basso prezzo per la registrazione. Minter produsse nel 2011 un remake del gioco per iOS, intitolato . (it)
