Latest Games Reviewed: Revenge of the Mutant Camels

Author: GN Team - Published: 30 December 2023, 5:18 pm

Revenge of the Mutant Camels is a side-scrolling shooter written by Jeff Minter for the Commodore 64 and released in 1984 by Llamasoft. The game was a kind of sequel to another shooter called Attack of the Mutant Camels (also known as Advance of the Mega Camels). Despite being a classic on the Commodore 64, Revenge of the Mutant Camels was ported eight years later (1992) to the Amiga, Atari ST, and MS-DOS, with slightly improved versions and enhanced graphics.

The legendary English programmer Jeff Minter, founder of Llamasoft, began programming on early 8-bit computers, from the Commodore PET to the ZX-81 to the Vic-20. However, success came with Llamasoft and the first games for the Commodore 64. The Mutant Camels series is undoubtedly one of the most famous. Revenge (like Attack) is a game where a camel (apparently mutant) walks horizontally across the screen, shooting at surreal enemies, including phone booths, Polo mints (icons of the 80s), explosive sheep, and much more. The shooting camel somewhat resembles the AT-AT walker from Star Wars, and indeed, this shooter recalls the game Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back - Atari 2600 from 1982, where we could control the famous "walker" from the Star Wars saga. Of course, the theme here is completely different and, if anything, more fun, as it immerses players in an almost psychedelic atmosphere.
