Lemmings In-pack Promotional Demo

fiath · 24 April 2002, 18:41

We (@ CAPS) were recently contacted by one of the developers of an in-pack Amiga promotional demo of Lemmings for Commodore. We did have something like it, but apparently not the one he worked on.

The game itself was a version of Lemmings with levels dedicated to Commodore. I think there were 4 levels, but it could have been 5, but they were all based around Commodore logos - the C= 'Chicken Head', 'Commodore', and the Amiga 'A'...

I don't suppose anybody here remembers anything like this? Any information would be very much appriciated! And if you happen to have this game (preferably as original disk but even as an ADF) I would be very interested in hearing from you!

I found a Lemmings disk (black with white print) that I believe came with my A600. I think it may have been the full game though, so you can probably eliminate this one.

Two seperate disks, each in it`s own vinyl single cardboard cover.
Dunno whether these might have anything to do with it? they were specials they were selling at a show, well, two shows, one one year, and one the next. I`ll dig em out

Yeah, if it is the full game then it is definitely not it...

Fantastic!!

Certainly sounds like the kiddies!

Now, these *may* be copy protected in which case you will need to dump them with CT (the caps dumping tool). Is this okay with you? Can I ask what Amiga(s) you have?

Also, do you have a scanner? A scan of the disks and cover would be very very cool.

Thanks VERY VERY much for your help!

You mean these look like the ones? excellent news! yeah I`m going to my Mothers this afternoon, so I`ll get the covers scanned in, I have a A1200 and a A500.. I`ll have to bring them back to where I live on Saturday.. so I can dump them ( as my A1200 is where I am now, and the disks are at my Mums

I should have them done by Saturday evening sometime ( GMT ) as I`m out all day on the Sat at a track day with my mates Lotus!

fiath · 25 April 2002, 16:50

Yes, hopefully they are - it sounds very very likely anyway.

Glad you can scan the covers (& disks) too!

Cool, you have a A1200 - that means that if they have any copy protection - you can still dump them using the CAPS tools. If you are willing to do that anyway...

Real Lotus? Or a track day with your miggy and a copy of LETC.

stainy · 25 April 2002, 17:46

Well I`m going to be having my hands full without an Amiga on me lap rattling around!

can you give me a link for that caps thing? just in case they are protected ?

Shame those Lotus games never had any other cars except the Esprits.. ermm I actually can`t remember whether they did or didn`t now hehe

fiath · 26 April 2002, 07:49

Sure, caps is at:

http://www.caps-project.org

Just mail contributions and they will send you the dumping software...

And your right about the Lotus games

I guess they called it that so they did not have to draw any more cars...

stainy · 26 April 2002, 18:00

Right, I`m back where my Amiga is

and I have them in my hands, I have Lemmings and a Lemmings 2 Tribes disk. Similar packaging on both.. I couldn`t scan them, as my mothers scanner is knackered. I`ll take pics and upload them for ya ok?

fiath · 26 April 2002, 18:02

Sure, thats fine! Thanks...

Have you tried to ADF them yet? (just so we know if they are copy protected or not...)

stainy · 27 April 2002, 00:08

I`m actually amazed that they are such good nick

the pic of the disks and covers are in the zone!

One of the disks has a lemming on the metal sleeve ! ahhhhhh

I didn`t have chance to adf them, it`s going to be tomorrow now, when I get back from `Dangerous Saturday` as it`s now known!!

fiath · 29 April 2002, 15:23

Sure no problem - and nice! Thanks for that...

Do you know who you got them from at the shows? Psygnosis?

Thanks!

Amiga1992 · 29 April 2002, 16:02

My Lemmings original came with an extra Demo disk... do you need that?

stainy · 29 April 2002, 17:05

I think it was a Commodore show, pretty sure it was, either that or ECTS show..
