Lemmings 20th anniversary presentation

Codetapper · 06 May 2011, 13:19

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned here yet (I couldn't find it anyway!) but for those that might be interested, there was a Lemmings 20th Anniversary Presentation on February 14, 2011. A group of the original guys involved with the game spent over an hour talking about behind the scenes stuff, and someone videoed it.

Well worth a look if you have a spare hour and haven't seen it!

They mention 55,000 copies of Lemmings on the Amiga were sold on the first day, which pretty much eclipsed the total sales of their first 2 games Menace (20,000 copies) and Blood Money (40,000 copies) in their entire lifetime!
