Released: 1991

Lemmings, those lovely little blue and green critters.

The idea was to guide, the required number of lemmings, safely to the level exit.

To accomplish this, you had a variety of different roles that they could be assigned, such as digger, floater, climber, blockers and others. The lemmings would just keep on walking one particular direction and just bounce off obstructions unless you changed their role. To make it that bit more difficult, the roles available were limited and differed for each level. This spawned a number of sequels and also quite a few "rip-offs".

Awesome game! Short, simple and effective intro.

NEW : MODcast - Amiga Music Audio Podcast (AAC/MP3)

terry@amigademopodcast.com (Terry Wilson) — Sat, 22 Apr 2006 13:54:31 +0100

I don't think I have enough to do with my time, so I've started up another podcast.

This one is dedicated to Amiga Game/Demo Music, back in the days when writing music was limited to generally 4-channels (7 if you include TFMX Pro).

Head on over to http://www.themodcast.com and check it out.

I'm determined to use my disk space/bandwidth, if it kills me!

Developer: Sensible Software
Publisher: Virgin Interactive
Released: 1993

Awesome point-and-click game. Simple yet very effective concept.

Intro was very simple, but very effective and the soundtrack was very, very catchy. "Stoo" does look too much like Elvis as well.

"War...has never been so much fun!"

Intro #001 : Another World (Delphine Software)

terry@amigademopodcast.com (Terry Wilson) — Wed, 12 Apr 2006 22:53:31 +0100

Game: Another World [H.264] [DivX]
Developers: Delphine Software
Publisher: US Gold
Released: 1991

A nice atmospheric, scene setting intro to a truly ground-breaking game.

In some ways a very similar idea to the demo State of the Art because it seems to be completely vector-based animation (I'm sure someone will tell me differently, if it's the case), but without all the other clever stuff from State of the Art.
