It's kind of sad...
« on: August 20, 2004, 03:43:22 AM »
Slowly, Lemmings sites, Lemmings forums, are falling into disrepair, or are being completely eliminated.  All of us here witnessed the shutdown of LU and LUDB.  Sure, we moved over to Andi's, but still...the LUDB loss is still an example of how things are dissappearing.  Yeah, I know there's still lot's out there, but if this downhill trend keeps going...well, the obvious result:

-NO ONLINE LEMMINGS-

But beside that, it's kind of sad that we have hardly had any new members, and those that came would usually be done with the forum in a couple days.  So, ya gotta wonder:  Where the heck are all the Lemmings fans???????  There are only about ten regulars here.

Of course, there really isn't much of a solution to all of this though...

Step back, face facts and load up dm_realworld.

Lemmings doesn't have a large fanbase anymore. I'm not even sure it had a large one at all. I mean, we're not talking about things like The Sims, Sonic the Hedgehog or even Crash Bandicoot here. The last Lemmings game was released about four years ago to a mediocre reception. Unless something really unrealistic happens along the lines of Sony saying "hey, I see we've got the licensing rights for some game called 'Lemmings', let's whore it ridiculously for the PS3", then I don't see any new games coming any time soon. Until that time, this little nook of the internet will more or less be the only place left until the LU admin gets his arse back from Japan and fixes his site.

There, I'm done ranting. You can go back to sleep now.

Erm. I see the problem somewhere other: There ARE more Lemmings fans out there than you might expect, but because the majority of the people says "Lemmings is no more 'cool'!" The fans say, "Hey, I like lemmings. But no one will know!"
I can remember that I thought a short time like that, too. But then I thought "WTF?" And now everyone knows I like Lemmings. My teacher used to mention it everytime it was possible and said things like "Sometime you'll have green hairs and our nose will grow a lot and then you'll look like a Lemming!". I think it was kinda fun. :D

I'm sure they're out there. At least a few more. It's only a question of them finding the place.

It seems a few more are coming back over, slowly.

There are plenty of fans in hiding- I've met some. I have also tried to build fans by writing stories about Lemmings in my free time. I'm working on a Lemmy trilogy. They like it because Lemmings are idiots. I recommended Lemmings Revolution and the more recent Windows games. Lemmings may come back- I saw Lemmings Revolution being sold again at Wal-Mart the other day. And I havent seen it sold since I bought it. My brother would come here too, but he's only 8. He learned to use MS-DOS on our old 486 just to play Lemmings! I've taught him to use DOSbox and WinUAE to play more Lemmings. He's dedicated to Lemmings, so I think he will come in a few years. I agree , Its sad that such a wonderful game is disappearing.

Why is that, Burn-iT?

I don't know why they don't want to make Lemmings games anymore. Why? Pretty soon, all Lemmings will end up like this:

LEMMINGS

IT'S SO SAD!!!!!!!!!  :-( :-( :-(

wel, they think it wil make them look stupid, playing such a old game, and some persons think its kidy.
some of my clasmates just forgot about lemmings, until some of them saw me wile i was playing it at school.
they said (translated from dutch) :"I remeber that game, but its old so its stupid."
they just care to much what other people think of them.

Lemmings is not popular, we NEED a new, realy good lemmings game!

The majority wants to play FPS now. So what about a Lemmings FPS? I tried it one time, but.... anyone here with good skills in graphics, modelling, programming or something else we could need?........ :-(

I don't like the idea of Lemmings FPS. Any thoughts to a game, like new songs, new graphic sets, and more?
