Jeff Minter, the creative genius behind Gridrunner, Tempest 2000 and the underrated Xbox Live title, Space Giraffe, has taken his talents to the App Store. His latest effort, Minotaur Rescue, is just as crazy as previous accomplishments, but it's one of those games that, when everything clicks, you won't be able to put it down. The fact that it only costs $0.99 sweetens the deal.

Pocket Gamer - Part man and part bull, the mythical minotaur is a beast to be avoided. The slathering creature is dangerous and uncontrollable, much like awkward arcade game Minotaur Rescue.
It too should be avoided due to its hard-to-control nature. Embodying the essence of classic arcade games with its pixel graphics, simple gameplay, and clunky controls, Minotaur Rescue succeeds in manufacturing nostalgia - both good and bad.
