this was rumoured to be happening for a while, so it's nice to finally have it formally confirmed.
the collection also includes a large amount of historical info & documents as expected, with the team collabarating with someone who was already working on a documentary about Jeff Minter.

as for the Konix Multi-System, it was a British game console developed by a company known for making peripherals that failed to release after they ran out of money. with the team that designed the hardware later going on to make the Atari Jaguar.

(an example of the various accessories Konix was planning for the unit, that is an actual chair that moves in time to the gameplay.)

various ROMs for it (including Minter's port of Attack of the Mutant Camels) have been floating around for years, but this collection makes the game far more easily accessible to the average consumer.

Just an FYI for those who are sensitive to flashing, I would recommend not watching the trailer.
