In this installment of the Classic Postmortem series, 'Lemmings' co-creator Mike Dailly will discuss the creation of the seminal DMA Design puzzle-platform game starring those allegedly suicidal rodents, which debuted on Amiga in 1991 and subsequently appeared on a multitude of other platforms. Covering both the original title and also its immediate expansions and sequels (including Lemmings 2 and 3), Dailly will look at the genesis of the idea, the refining of the gameplay, and just how the clever game developed into a smash hit for the company and its publisher Psygnosis.
Takeaway
Attendees will get plenty of detail on how the classic title got developed - from animation demo through prototype to full game.
Intended Audience
Anybody with a soft spot for the original 'Lemmings' and its sequels, and wanting to know just how the idea was expanded into the original game and the popular franchise it became.
