Caverns of Minos offers minotaurs, Mothersheep through App Store

by Jessica Conditt on Jan 18th 2012 2:30PM

Jeff Minter's latest iOS installment doesn't directly involve goats, but it does bring back the illustrious minotaurs and disco-psychedelic flavor of classic Llamasoft style. Caverns of Minos has players grab minotaurs from the depths of vertical caverns to return them to the Mothersheep (yes, it's a giant, floating sheep), all in brilliant neon, old-school graphics.

Caverns of Minos is available now in the App Store for $1.99 from Minter's Llamasoft, which self-supposedly offers "the finest minotaur-rescuing games on the entire App Store."

Doh, I thought this said Caverns Of Mars for a second and got excited.

@Cranky Penguin I've read Caverns of Minors...

I thought it said "Caverns of Manos" for a while.

Then again, the Master would not approve of such a project.

OMG already. Why must we settle for this CRAP. Get with the frickin program already iOS and start getting REAL games supporting joysticks. Quit forcing this shit down our throats. Sorry but these games are like 40 years old. What percentage of people actually invest time and play these games?

Too funny. When I watched the video before reading the article, I thought "This reminds me of 'Llamatron 2112'." - Now it all makes sense! Will definitely have to check this out. Apparently, "Minotron: 2112" is also on the app store. Not sure how I feel about replacing the llamas with minotaurs... but I digress. :)

Am I the only one who thinks his games are junk?

Ive purchased the last few, and played them a few times and then deleted them. =\

Think Jeff is a love or hate kind of game maker but at least you gave them a try, so many people bashed Space Giraffe without even playing it. I love his games but then I've been playing them since the mid-1980's. The guy is a legend and has the best twitter account ever.
