Jeff Minter

Jeff 'Yak' Minter (born in Reading, April 22 1962) is one of the most innovative and distinctive modern British computer/video game designers and programmers. He is the founder of software house Llamasoft.

Education

Jeff Minter became interested in computers while attending secondary school. He teamed up with Richard Jones, a fellow pupil, and together they started writing their own games on their school's Commodore PET. Jones was never talented for programming in the way that Minter was (admittedly, few are), and they soon parted ways. Jones went on to commercial projects, some of them in the software market (e.g., Interceptor Micros), but never gained the industry fame that Minter earned.
