Lemmings Revolution Reviewed
One of the first reviews of Lemmings Revolution (at least, that I have seen) is now available on c|net's Gamecenter.com. They gave the game a rating of 7 out of 10. I thought the rating was low at first, but I have to say that I agree with it having read the entire review. Check it out for yourself here.

Lemmings Revolution
I have received some (hopefully) good news about Lemmings today! I just got an e-mail from our friends at Psygnosis UK regarding an upcoming demo called "Lemmings Revolution." I have no idea what it is, but I am hoping it will be a compilation of sorts. All my contact provided was a press release, given below:
Lemmings Revolution Promises To Have Gamers In A Spin!An exclusive Lemmings demo and limited edition prizes await gamers at a new website being launched on 31st August by the brand's creators Psygnosis. The playable PC demo will be available to download, giving players a sneak preview of an exciting concept that the UK based developers are rumoured to be considering as a new PC-CD ROM game.
With the title 'Lemmings Revolution', the one level demo is a spin on the highly addictive original that had players glued to their cliff edges when the furry rodents first fell on to our PCs in 1991.
Located at www.psygnosis.co.uk/lemmings the site will offer you the chance to win some fantastic prizes including a Sony Discman and limited edition Lemmings Revolution T-shirts. The team at Psygnosis will also be giving you the rare opportunity to have your say on the concept of Lemmings Revolution and whether you would like to see this early demo developed into a full game.
But you'll have to hurry - while Psygnosis aren't giving any secrets away about the demo other than its arrival on 31st August, they have warned that the site will be live for two weeks only. After that, who knows? If our furry friends have their way we could be in for a full revolution!
Note that the demo will be available for download at the Lemmings Revolution website. I am also looking into opportunities for this site to participate as well. At this time, I do not have any more information than what is stated in the press release, so please do not ask me for additional insight into this product. If I get more information, I will post it to the site.

Upcoming "Lemmings-like" Game
For those of you looking for something different to play, Empire Interactive is bringing out a new puzzle game called Sheep which shares some gameplay elements with Lemmings. Check out this article to read more about it. Thanks go to Robert Church for the heads-up!
On a related note, I've been playing quite a bit of Worms:Armageddon (WA) lately. WA is a turn-based strategy/puzzle game that is very addictive and a lot of fun. Gameplay is much different than Lemmings, but it has a similar appeal. Check out the Worms homepage for more information. A demo is also available.

PSX Lemmings game confirmed
Gamecenter has confirmed that Lemmings is indeed coming to the Sony Playstation this year. Although it is basically a rehash of the original Lemmings game, the new game release at least proves that the Lemmings franchise is still viable. Check out the preview for more information.

Lemmings 2 Lives on the SNES
I was able to score a copy of Lemmings 2: The Tribes for Super Nintendo at one of the malls in Austin today. I bought it at a store called Gamefellas which sells new and used games for most of the console game systems. The copy I bought was brand new (not used, surprisingly) and only cost me 35 bucks. I'm not sure if Gamefellas is a national chain or not, but they have stores in three of the malls here in Austin. Check 'em out if you live nearby.

Mac Lemmings sighted
Some good news for Macintosh users! I was browsing in a local (Austin, TX) store called Cyber Exchange today and came across 3 NEW copies of Lemmings for the Mac. Cyber Exchange is a franchise that buys and resells previously-owned, discontinued and new software for computers and game consoles. The company has local franchises in most major US cities. Check out their web site for more information. By the way, I did not buy any of the three copies (I don't have a Mac) so they are still on the shelf if anyone in the Austin area is interested.

Another 3D Lemmings?
For those of you who are into Quake, a site called Nocturnal Conversions is working on a "Save the Lemmings" conversion. The goal is to get the Lemmings from the beginning of the level to the exit without killing them. As each Lemmings dies, a percentage of the player's health is decreased. Should be interesting once it is completed. Thanks to Blue's News (an awesome resource for Quake and Quake 2) for the information.

Another Lemmings Sighting
I have a confirmed sighting of the original Lemmings game at the local Best Buy. Lemmings is being distributed by GT Interactive on CD-ROM in the budget software section. I picked up a copy myself for $9.99 US. Another Lemmings fan has reported that the same CD can be found at Walmart. Happy hunting!
