The Complete History of
Lemmings

(Part 5)

The number of people that claim to have been involved in the original Lemmings, is huge. The actual number isn't.

The main folk were Dave Jones (Amiga), Russell Kay (PC), Gary Timmons (Animations), Scott Johnston(Backgrounds), Me (Mike Dailly), Brian Watson(ST), Brian Johnson (Music+SFX) and Steve Hammond (PC EGA/CGA Graphics conversion), Jon Dye (Spectrum version and Amiga/PC work).   Tim Write (I think he did the music player), Tony Williams (PC Music), oh and Scott's mum (Lemmings Voice)!

If I've missed anyone and you think you know some one else who should be on this list, then please let me know - but I reserve the right to laugh at you.

This list obviously doesn't include any Psygnosis staff, since during the first lemmings game, they only really gave feedback, and tested - although John Whyte's level feedback was excellent. He used to draw up a lovely grid with level names and then rated them and gave some comments back.

And so there we have it - the full story of Lemmings. I'm sure that this will be added to as the others read it and remember little stories of their own, or correct some small points listed here, but this is pretty close.

Hope you enjoyed it!
