An excellent little arcade game which never was, and would've stood proud in arcades of the early 1980s. But it's NEW! Difficult, but in the "Oh, I shouldn't have jumped there, it was warning me," way, NOT unfairly. It just encourages you to have another try.

Let me reach for another 10p coin to pop into my Steam Deck...

They say "context is key" and here's a LOT of context from the 1980s UK gaming scene with Jeff Minter at the centre of focus.

Read the articles, newsletters and quotes, watch the videos from industry veterans or just play all the games - mostly Vic20 and Commodore C64 - which chart not only Yak's improvement at the craft but also all his experimentation, culminating in the All Time Classic Tempest 2000, or: The Reason Most People Bought an Atari Jaguar In The First Place.

Then! Go and buy Space Giraffe and Tempest 4000, which may look similar but in true Minter style have quite different gameplay mechanisms.

Me? I'm staggered I can buy & play Sheep in Space in 2024.

Got this cheap, sat in my collection for years until along journey with my Steamdeck. Didn't expect to think much of it to be honest... ended up playing through twice now!

It's Portal. It's brilliant.

Better than cake.
