Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story is a 2024 interactive documentary and compilation video game published by Digital Eclipse.

It is the second title in Digital Eclipse's Gold Master Series, following The Making of Karateka (2023) and preceding Tetris Forever (2024).
Similar to Digital Eclipse's Atari 50 (2022) and The Making of Karateka, Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story incorporates an interactive timeline enabling players to experience games alongside text, documentary clips, and photographs. Certain titles, like 3D 3D, offer both original and enhanced versions with updated controls and improved frame rates.
The game was made available on the March 13, 2024 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. Critics responded positively overall, commending its quality and standard as a retro compilation but noting its omission of works after Tempest 2000 (1994).
