Amusing fan-made videos
« on: April 16, 2013, 01:13:33 AM »
This thread is for fun fan-made Lemmings-related videos that you've found, or made yourself.

I've been meaning to start a thread like this for a while, ever since I got around to watching Eric W. Schwartz's classic, "The Anti-Lemmin' Demo", but with just one video in mind, it didn't seem worth it to post here. However, I've since happened across an amusing series of animations by someone else, and I feel that all of these together can kickstart this thread nicely.

Firstly, here's the aforementioned animation, The Anti-Lemmin' Demo. This is a proper short cartoon, and was made on an Amiga back in the day by Eric W. Schwartz (an animator from the Amiga-scene, who has also made some fun tributes to the system, as well). ADFs of both disks for use in Amiga emulators, or for writing to a floppy disk and viewing on a real Amiga, are attached to this post. (As an aside, there apparently exists a follow-up to this, which I gather was not made by Eric W. Schwartz, but I haven't been able to get hold of it.)

Secondly, here is a series of animations by a fellow called Dan May, which are focussed on putting lemmings through all manner of cruel and often-times funny trials, much in the style of the grisly traps from the games themselves. According to the descriptions attached to them, most of them were made on a real Amiga in the early 1990s, and he then produced two follow-ups in 2007 and 2010 on an emulated Amiga which had much more memory than his real one had. The links to all six of these animations are below;

Instruments of Torture (1990s)
Lemming Massacre (1990s)
Lemming Escape (1990s)
Lemming Massacre II (1990s)
Lemming Torture (2007)
Lemming Torture 2010 (2010)

I hope everyone finds these to be as fun (and funny) as I have. Please contribute more if you know of any!
