In 1989, Minter helped{{Vague|date=July 2020}} in the production of the [[Konix Multisystem]] console.

Minter worked for [[Atari]]<ref name="dadgum.com"/> and [[VM Labs]]. For Atari he produced ''Tempest 2000'' (1994) on the [[Atari Jaguar|Jaguar]]. It was a remake of [[Dave Theurer]]'s 1981 ''[[Tempest (video game)|Tempest]]''. He followed it with ''[[Defender 2000]]'' (1995) on the Jaguar, a remake of the 1981 arcade game. Listing Minter in their "75 Most Important People in the Games Industry of 1995", ''[[Next Generation (magazine)|Next Generation]]'' called him the Jaguar's "leading developer".<ref>{{cite journal|title=75 Power Players|journal=[[Next Generation (magazine)|Next Generation]]|issue=11|publisher=[[Imagine Media]]|date=November 1995|page=51}}</ref> Minter also produced the ''[[Virtual Light Machine]]'' (''VLM-1'') for the [[Jaguar CD]] add-on.<ref>{{cite journal|title=WCES: The Calm Before the Storm |journal=[[Next Generation (magazine)|Next Generation]]|issue=3|publisher=[[Imagine Media]]|date=March 1995|pages=18–19|quote=Once again, Jeff Minter's efforts paid off, though, and his ''Virtual Light Machine'' which comes packed into the Jaguar CD's hardware unit delivers a psychedelic enough experience for any audio CD-playing, Jaguar-owning hippies.}}</ref> For VM Labs he created the ''[[Virtual Light Machine|VLM-2]]'' and ''[[Tempest 3000]]''.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Sheffield|first1=Brandon|title=Llamas in Space: Catching Up with Llamasoft's Jeff Minter |url=http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/129999/llamas_in_space_catching_up_with_.php|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120509033340/http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/129999/llamas_in_space_catching_up_with_.php|url-status=dead|archive-date=9 May 2012|website=Gamasutra|access-date=18 May 2016|page=1|date=4 April 2007}}</ref>

Minter then wrote games for the [[Pocket PC]] platform, some of which also have Windows conversions: ''Deflex'', ''[[Hover Bovver|Hover Bovver 2: Grand Theft Flymo]]'' (a reinterpretation of his own 1984 game, ''Hover Bovver''), and ''[[Gridrunner++]]''.

In 2002, he began work on a [[music video game]] for the [[GameCube]] to be called ''[[Unity (video game)|Unity]]''. Using the newest version of his ''[[Virtual Light Machine|VLM]]'', the ''VLM-3'' or ''[[Neon (light synthesizer)|Neon]]'', ''Unity'' was to combine the two main threads of Minter's prior career: light synthesis and classic arcade style shooting. Minter was involved in writing this game for [[Lionhead Studios]] throughout 2003. The project was cancelled in December 2004. ''Neon''  has since been reprogrammed and significantly expanded and is used in [[Xbox 360]] media visualisation.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/655/655146p3.html |title=X05: Live in the Next Generation – IGN |date=3 October 2005 |publisher=Xbox360.ign.com |access-date=2 August 2013}}</ref>

In 2007 Minter released ''[[Space Giraffe]]'', an action video game with similarities to ''[[Tempest (video game)|Tempest]]''. ''Space Giraffe'' was released for Xbox 360 through [[Xbox Live Arcade]].

In 2008 it was announced at the [[Tokyo Game Show]] that designers at Llamasoft were working on the visualisation aspects of the Xbox 360 version of ''[[Space Invaders Extreme]]''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gamerbytes.com/2008/10/tgs_08_space_invaders_extreme.php |title=Gamasutra – Topic: Console/Digital Games |publisher=Gamerbytes.com |access-date=2 August 2013 |archive-date=12 October 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081012070313/http://www.gamerbytes.com/2008/10/tgs_08_space_invaders_extreme.php |url-status=dead }}</ref> The game was released in 2008. In December 2008 ''[[Space Giraffe]]'' was released for Windows.

In September 2009 he released ''[[Gridrunner Revolution]]'' for Windows as a digital download.
