Random Questions / Random Thoughts Thread
« on: March 18, 2013, 10:41:46 PM »
Okay.. I'm having a very ditsy moment and can't remember something Lemming related, and it doesn't warrant its own thread, so I'm setting this thread up instead.

My question is this: Tim3p was used in another game, and I can't for the life of me remember what it is. What game was it used in?

Oh man, I haven't heard this in a while. This was essentially how Tim Wright got his career started. It's awesome. :thumbsup:

I only watched the Puggs in Space demo for the first time recently - I had no idea until a week or two ago that that tune originated there. There's an official remix of the track on Tim Wright's website, too, if anyone's interested. :D

Here's one: The manual for The Lemmings Chronicles/All New World of Lemmings contains credits for a 3DO version that, as far as I know, wasn't released.

Why was the 3DO considered a viable option, and not the more widespread consoles of the time (i.e., the SNES and Mega Drive), which, given the game's control setup, would have been even better suited for a port of Chronicles than even the two prior games? (Does anyone wonder if they were perhaps going to wait until they actually finished the game for console ports?)

I guess so. It wasn't very well promoted, though, which probably didn't help. I only heard of it about eighteen months to two years after its release, because I saw it on a shop shelf, myself... :o I don't recall seeing any coverage of it anywhere, and certainly no advertising.

That said, I didn't know of a CD32 version being planned, though - it doesn't have a credit in the manual like the 3DO version does. I'd have the same question about the viability of putting it on the CD32, too, to be honest. :P
