Too Early for Christmas-Lemmings? Anyway, here's the 32-colour A500 version.

#AMIGA #Lemmings #Holidays

@pasimako Love #Lemmings, but it’s the #Commodore Amiga original for me. (Did you know you could play split-screened with someone else using a second mouse on #Amiga and #AtariST?)

Here’s a great origin story from #DMADesign programmer @mdf200: http://www.javalemmings.com/DMA/Lem_1.htm

Maybe #Lemmings were trying to tell us something? 🤔

LEMMINGS! 🙂

In related news, did you know DOS #Lemmings does a split-screen palette change of some sort despite having ABSOLUTELY NO NEED to do so?

This is the demo version running in VGA, but it only uses 16 colors at a time despite having 256 available. Seen here: what it should look like, what I got when I pressed Ctrl-F5 in DOSBox, and what I saw actually playing in DOSBox.

If I read these docs on the #Lemmings level format correctly, you can have up to 114 lemmings in a level, plus up to 32 potentially animated objects, including the gate and exit.

The #Asspull3X supports up to 256 sprite objects at a time.

That sounds like I could use hardware sprites for both lemmings and objects, but I can't really do that, can I? Because potentially each lemming and object can have a different frame and I have only 512 8x8 sprite tiles.

Today I'm overthinking the feasibility of #Lemmings on the #Asspull3X.

For example, I know from the paint project that I can have large off-screen bitmaps and pan them around well enough. But does the A3X offer enough hardware sprites to cover a full lemming army, animated background elements, *and* the cursor, would I need to make them flicker, or render the lemmings in software?

Things like that, y'know?

After a fever of #nostalgia for the simplicity of drawing in the #clarisworks #app, which even led me to buy a #vintagemac, I realize that the #drawing option in #libreoffice is almost the same. A true heir to that #90s #software. On the other hand, I'm glad I only realized this now, because I needed to go back to playing #simcinema and #lemmings on classic #macos and it was a great excuse.

Just before the release of #Lemmings 2: The Tribes in 1993 the small critters got their own album with accompanying music video.

It's so quintessential early 90s that it can only be described as perfect: https://youtube.com/watch?v=4n4pk9uWfiU

One interesting tidbit: the last track of the album has a robotic voice explaining how to complete one of The Tribes levels. Which level it's talking about is reportedly different on each release format (cassette, vinyl, CD) but I only found a single rip of it so far.

Ha sido recordar los #Lemmings y...

Oldweb: DHTML Lemmings
DHTML means "Dynamic Hypertext Markup Language." The term is little-used now; it later got renamed AJAX, and now is pretty much just how websites are made if they have any interactive aspects. It was originally presented as an alternative to Flash applets, which were threatening to crowd out actual web pages at that time.

And while I am at it. Over the last few days, I have been playing #pingus on #ubuntu. Which is a lot like #lemmings actually.

I have three #vintage #computer #games to give away (you pay #postage):

* #Lemmings for Mac (boxed, 350g)
* #Afterlife for Mac (CD in jewel case, 150g)
* #HalfLife 2 for PC (boxed, 350g)

(Weights for postal calculations at https://www.anpost.com/Post-Parcels/Sending/Calculate-Postage to see if it's worth it for you).

After tomorrow they go in the #trash.

My favorite part of this #RedditMigration is how the name #Lemmy reminds me of the classic #videogame #Lemmings. There are two interesting parallels. On the one hand, Lemmings have the essentials of what a game needs: great balance between challenge and fun. The current scream of #socialnetworks goes in the same direction of returning to the essentials. On the other hand, in Lemmings we play as a #community. No community, it's #gameover.
