How Jeff Minter Met The 360

Posted by Zonk on Tuesday July 5, 2005 @08:38AM from the shiny-and-flashy-gets-together dept.

The Guardian Gamesblog has a piece on Jeff Minter's hookup with the Xbox 360. From the article: "It basically happened because a certain well-connected friend of mine really liked what we were doing here with VLM3 on the Gamecube, and brought someone from MS here to see. He in turn got very enthusiastic, and went back to MS and began bending ears. It took a fair bit of prodding and sending of demos but eventually it progressed to the point where I got hold of a devkit. Once we had proper live 360 code running it turned from 'maybe' to 'definitely!'."

Jeff Minter's Revenge of the Mutant Camels was one of the first computer games that really grabbed me, and it was a big part of me deciding to get a Commodore 64 back in the day.
