I'm playing the Llamasoft compilation, and man, this is the perfect antidote to all the crappy Sakurai videos I was watching yesterday - not jiving with the games themselves much (which isn't what I bought it for anyway) but god Minter is such a hero. I'm not saying Sakurai and Minter should be compared, they're doing different things in different places for different audiences, but there's such a pleasant whiplash in going from watching a supposed "visionary" say "I only make games because it's the job I'm good at" to reading up on a hippie who just loves camels; drug trip aesthetics; and spaceships, and makes games to self-endulge in those passions.
