I was just pointed to this by someone else - I can't believe that we missed it until now!

A few weeks ago, some Lemmings statues appeared, climbing a pillar, in Dundee, opposite the building which housed the former DMA Design office (which, if memory serves, has had a commemorative plaque on it for some time) where Lemmings was originally created.

And, last but by no means least, a brief video featuring the sculptor, Alyson Conway, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4mqdLWTLMw" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">can be viewed here.

Just thought that everyone might like to know!

Where are all these online fans, and why aren't they here? http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/shocked.gif" alt=":o" title="Shocked" class="smiley" />

And yes, the statues are indeed "awesome"! (or is that AWESOME)

I could only repeat those words. Dundee would now make a nice tourist attraction! I sure hope these lemmings will stay there, so that I can take some pictures myself...
