"The Brundles"

[Prob Lem]

I was just wondering if anyone else knows of this somewhat obscure Lemmings knock-off hailing from 1993 (a time when wholesale cloning of famous games from other platforms still occurred - as opposed to the present-day situation where no-one would dare, except for vendors of iffy monetised "free-to-play" mobile telephone games http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/tongue.gif" alt=":P" title="Tongue" class="smiley" />). I learned about it http://everylemming.blogspot.co.uk/2011/08/unofficial-lemmings-atari-8-bit.html" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">on the fine site, Lemmings Ports.

It's called The Brundles, and it's for the 8-bit Atari XL/XE computers. It's pretty well-presented, and was made by a company called KE-Soft. It seems to be a very good effort at recreating Lemmings, and it's pretty interesting since it has different music and some very different tilesets to the real thing - for example, the first level's theme is In The Hall Of The Mountain King, and the second level has extra skills available, and its tiles have a bit of a techie look to them, instead of using a knock-off of the pillars style.

Apparently it also had a level editor available, but I don't know if that was supplied with the game, or had to be purchased separately from KE-Soft.

There's a decent video of it here, check it out - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83YOTj6f2sg" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83YOTj6f2sg .

Ah, good old Lemmings Ports, I love that site. http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/laugh.gif" alt=":D" title="Laugh" class="smiley" />

It would be nice to try and make the Brundles tiles in the Original Lemmings 1 style.
