LLAMASOFT’S GRIDRUNNER+++ GETS APRIL DATE FOR XBOX LIVE ARCADE
A month after ruing the fact that Microsoft’s Xbox Live Arcade team were “sitting on” his submitted demo, Llamasoft head Jeff Minter has announced (alongside an excellent review for Space Giraffe PC) that the Xbox 360 remake of his cult retro shooter Gridrunner will see release via XBLA in late April.
In signature Llamasoft fashion, Gridrunner blends psychedelic light-synth overtones to a simple auto-shoot mechanic, as you can witness for yourself in its original PC and Mac form, or, more socially via its conversion to a Facebook application.
And, best of all, Minter also revealed earlier last year that the Xbox Live Arcade port, as above, would include emulated versions of the original Vic-20 and C64 titles that earned Minter and Llamasoft their reputation, for a release that promises to be as good a newcomer’s introduction to the Llama-legacy as you can find.
