I forgot yesterday to post this.

Happy 35th Birthday to Lemmings published 14 Feb 1991. The development house was based in Dundee, Scotland were there is a statue to celebrate. #Lemmings #Dundee

@ar387 A milestone of humankind!

[bgarfoot@kind.social]

@ar387 That is an absolutely amazing statue there

[wikkit@mastodon.social]

@ar387 I played it at the library, on a computer that had the kind of CD drive that takes the CD in a square carrier like a floppy disk.

There’s nothing quite like Lemmings and Worms. The screen resolution was a fundamental feature in a way you can’t really do now.

@ar387 A game that did so much with so little.

[julesbl@mastodon.me.uk]

@ar387 really enjoyed playing the original, the new one on my phone not quite so much

[neil_h@ohai.social]

@ar387 still one of the best games ever! Not only working out how to solve a kernel, but also how to creatively send them to their doom

[nefex@ruhr.social]

@ar387 Did not expect that there exists a statue for those Lemmings. Very cool.

@ar387 I was wondering where exactly the statue is and it seems to be here:

Another reason to finally visit Dundee ^__^

[ar387@mstdn.social]

@jfml there are various other statues in Dundee too, including ones for Desperate Dan from the Dandy cartoons.

Best. Game. Ever.

@ar387 I can’t believe I’ve driven right by this and had no idea! Next time I’m in Scotland this absolutely deserves a stop!

@ar387

That pixel art is so iconic and so well designed for such a minimalist expression of a vibe.

The little bounce of the hair with every step is just, so good.

@ar387 All it took was one experimental animation by Mike Dailly. A few touchups later by Timmons, along with conceptualization of what to do with it, lead to the creation of such a classic.

The good ol' days of DMA Design, before they became a Rockstar asset. ️

@ar387 additional way point for our Scotland tour this year.
Thanks

[lopta@mastodon.social]

@ar387 I had no idea it was from Dundee!

[shredd_tone@equestria.social]

@ar387 Aww! I remember that game. I think I still have it for the Sega Mega Drive now that I think about it.

Good times!

[oisin@mastodon.ie]

@ar387 I spent so much time playing that game when I should have been working on my masters
