The Anti-Lemmin' Demo by Eric Schwartz
This Animation is one I take great pride in. I'm not sure why, possibly
because I spent a lot more time on the still graphics, but in any case I
think it's one of my best for overall looks, humor, timing, and cinematic
nature.(I hope I know what's good, I came out with some real turkeys
through trial and error). This animation lasts a full two minutes and ten
seconds( including titles) and should run in two megabytes of memory if
your workbench is not very demanding. You may have to run it from CLI
without loading workbench. in that case, the CLI command is:
> CD Lemmin'1:
> Movieplayer Anti-Lemmin'
NOTE: I have noticed that the Movieplayer program will not always work in
some cases, giving a "Can't find libraries" error. I have yet to determine
exactly what libraries Movieplayer wants, but I know that Movieplayer will
ALWAYS run on a standard commodore-issue workbench(you know, JUST a
workbench disk, nothing else), and will rarely run on a 'stripped'
workbench like what comes on some other program's disk (i.e. it WON'T run
on Deluxepaint's workbench)
In case you haven't figured it out already, The Anti-Lemmin' Demo is a
rather NASTY parody on that great game company Psygnosis' great game,
Lemmings. I sure hope I don't get sued.
This animation is freely distributable as long as all files(including this
readme)are present upon distribution. The concept and animation are
copyright 1991 Eric Schwartz( but I'll admit Psygnosis has some title to
the characters.)
The animation script looks for its files in three directories. These
directories must be intact and named the same for the animation to run
properly. Some ASSIGNs must be made to play the anim from Hard disk . The
three main directories are:
Lemmin'1:Moviebacks
Lemmin'1:Moviesets (the main script file is on Lemmin'1: )
Lemmin'2:Moviesounds
One workaround for Hard Disk(or HD drive)users who own the Moviesetter
program by Gold Disk is to Load the Animation into MovieSetter and
re-saving it in "embed" mode. This saves the anim as one large file which
can reside and play from any directory.
