I love how they completely rip off Robotron and then start the game with a splash asking for money. Asshats.

OH good lord.. they're even using sheep baaaaahs

Yeah it was Robotron alright, but it was a lot more too. It had an extra colourful spacy psychotropic element that a vid doesnt really get across.

Imagine its the early to mid 90's and your playing this on a big tv all the colours and latest graphical effects, plus the zany sound effects really turned up the experience.

Plus it was free and I probably played it more than most commercial games. Llamasoft were pretty great, they gave lots of classi games a Llama themed makeover and released them free. Attack of the Mutant Camels anyone?

jeff minter is a very interesting personality.

Some special enemies in llamatron

Green 'hedgehogs' with white spikes that are more resilient than normal enemies. When destroyed, they explode into four diagonally-moving spikes.

Blue 'Brains' that turn the beasties into green 'Zombeasts', which then advance on the llama, firing some kind of homing projectile.
Pulsating purple-yellow blobs that split into smaller and smaller blobs when shot.

Laser guns that float freely throughout the level. They come in two types - horizontal or vertical - and periodically fire a deadly laser beam across the full width or height of the screen, instantly obliterating the llama if it is lined up with the laser gun at the wrong time. On later levels, there can be both horizontal and vertical lasers in a single level, which fire simultaneously.

Blue raindrops that fall diagonally through the level. To stop them, a number of umbrellas must be erected in the level, but the player has to catch them first.

A large sixteen-ton weight that hovers at the top of the level and attempts to crush the llama when it passes underneath.

A large Mandelbrot fractal, known as the "Screaming Mandy" that blinks in all colours and screams when you shoot it.

A huge Toilet that shoots toilet paper rolls with accompanying scatological sound effects and explodes in a shower of feces when destroyed.

The "alien in sheep's clothing", which acts similarly to the blue brains but masquerades as a beastie.

The final boss: a snake composed of parts moving based on a particle algorithm - named the "Ozric Tentacle", a reference to the UK underground band Ozric Tentacles.
