Lemmings were made after an employee at Rockstar (yes, *that* Rockstar, then called DMA Design) wanted to make a walking animation with as few pixels as possible. Higher-ups were impressed, and decided to make a game where you guide the dumb bastards through a labyrinth of death traps simply by giving them the tools to escape.
@@Ryotaiku I know I'm 3 years late but it's worth noting the competition was to make the best walking cycle in a 16x16 resolution, the winner ended up being half that at a measly 8x8 pixel resolution. That walk cycle was then modified to be more fluid and eventually became lemmings.
I WANT YOUR EVERYTHING (it'll all be mine!) I DONT KNOW WHERE IM GOING (MAKE IT BIG TIME!) CHURCHES BURNING (Crumbling all around me!) I KNOW YOU WANNA HIT THAT HIT THAT (SO BAD IM GONNA SCREAM!)
@@bapehd7717 where can i hear these? earthbound is my favourite game series and i love neil’s music so it’d be super cool to have two of my favourite franchises combined
@wert229 Too much sampling, I don't want another copyright strike on my channel! It's probably safe here. Plus I noticed a lot of people were subbing this account, so I figured I might as well give them something.
Oh man. I loved that game! Countless hours just wasted on the practice levels, making them shoot bazookas at each other to watch them fly about... Anyway, impressive rewrite, and an awesome tribute to an awesome (though also infuriating) game! Dang, though, did it take a while to put all that animation together? I can imagine hours spent just on recording the footage in DosBOX and then tediously removing background from every... single... frame... Or did you have a convenient shortcut?
I don't know what happened to the video, but there are some points where the music noticeably jumps or delays (the main parts I noticed this was 0:01 - where the intro section skips a beat - and 3:10 - where the silence before the lemming hits the floor is longer than it should be, making it awkwardly out-of-sync when the music kicks in). And for the record, none of these issues are in the MP3 version (in fact, I'd highly recommend downloading and listening to the MP3 version). Nonetheless, this remix is excellent, it's just a shame this video version is ruined by errors in the music which, I presume, were unintentional.
I'm looking forward to the next Lemon Demon album. I really dig all the songs you've put out since View-Monster. Half of them have been uber electronica, like this and BrodyQuest, and then there's some nice non-computerized violin...ing in Eighth Wonder. Can't wait for the stuff we DON'T see.
Hello, I'm from 10 years in the future, and I wanna say, if this was good, he released 2 EPs called I Am Become Christmas in 2012 and Nature Tapes in 2014, and finally made a seventh album called Spirit Phone in 2016! You really should check them both out!
If you really want to find the obscure stuff check his music channel, scroll down and you’ll find a lot of thumbnails with Eddie Murphys face from the front (I think) Well the main obscure tracks are there, the first pocket is 8 years ago and I think the other one is 12-14 years ago. Also check out one weird tip it’s pretty good
@@seaotter4439form even farther in the future, he has since released two new singles (one weird tip and funkytown) as well as song snippets from what he’s been working on and, more recently, a huge dump of random music files from throughout the years on his website
Aw, man. This is the last song in the "Lemon Demon/Neil Cicierega all songs" playlist for me, since apparently some of those are banned in my country. 440/443, oh well...
I feel like I'm seeing something not meant to be seen by mortal eyes.
same
yup
I think someone, somewhere always knew that Neil was always a Lemming.
citrus devil
THE FEET.
THEY MESMERIZE ME.
ok mr tarantino

kinky
Having never played the game, I am perplexed at all the tiny dancing Mokey Fraggles.

@@Ryotaiku Aw, I love origin stories of stuff where, we have some beloved franchise just because some random thing happened.

Man, 7 years ago, back before replies were even a thing and we had to @ users to sorta reply.
2Neil2Cicierega this is like finding an ancient carving in a forgotten language
you are so cool
@SJeeShow The graphics are ripped from the game. Even the ones with little instruments! That game had awesome pixel art.
oh my god what was it like 10 yrs ago you funky man
it been 10 years damn
Wow lemmings is amazing
Oh my god, it's been almost 10 years since this video was made. Still a jam.
Still can't pick between this and Kaleidoskull for best instrumental.
Kaleidoskull is easily the best instrumental imo
Oh my god you should listen to Yellowfish it’s so good!
Not Applicable
@@OilyBastard TRUE
320x200 hits different though
I am soo disappointed that this doesn't have 100k views yet. This is AWESOME
Its close to 100k
LEMMINGSQUEST
This video might be the next Nyan Cat... I just hope I'm on some form of hallucinogen when it shows up on =3
Oh my God, this aged so poorly
I wish lol
Sadly it wasn't :(
Not unless we make it
Us 6 shall be the revolution’s catalyst
everything you make, everything you remix, it's always so consistently amazing. how
this is one of my favorite songs
i always knew neil was a lemming!! i knew it!!
this is one of the best videos ever made
THIS IS SOO UNDERRATED I WATCHED THIS SOO MANY TIMES!!!
Oh man. I loved that game! Countless hours just wasted on the practice levels, making them shoot bazookas at each other to watch them fly about...

unless it uses a color map, he could have used a spritesheet and manually made the anims
Justice really knocked it out of the park with this one
Neil, you're a genius. Your music is truly brilliant
I am 9 and i love this
just like megamix, this too recently hit 100k views
Why is this so damn epic?
Do you ever feel like you’re watching a screen recording of an Easter egg rather than a fan remix?
This is the first techno-like song that I've ever truly liked. And I loved this.
YES! your remixes are great ! I missed them ! Super hey ya is one of my favourite, but this one is clearly on the top now!
MASHUP WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK
This is so fucking metal I keep coming back.
this should get more recognition ITS SO GOOD
and they say Fortnite has the best dance animations
no they dont
Plus Fortnite stole practically all of theirs
damn they can strut like hell
Omg it's the cool remix guy
Y'all ever just...
Walkin'?

idk i really really like the skips
Maybe there were some weird copyright issues? Only reason I can think of but even that doesn't make any sense.
its a thing that happens to old RUclips video's, it's why he re-uploaded what's Dylan grilling iirc
This song is so packed with energy
You are my Hero!
12, almost 13, years later, still a jam💫
The fade on the umbrellas tripped me out! Excellent job Neil!
I CANNOT STOP LISTENING TO THIS
I am LOVING this!!
LEMMINGS! LOVE THAT GAME!
This is it. The origin of Lemon Demon as a name.
@@CrunchyCrumbles r/wooosh
man, this is a wierd conversation

What country do you live in?
@@redmantis3336 Germany
Haven't heard stereo this mindblowing since The Beatles. Awesome.
I am glad I subscribed to this account for no reason.
I learned more about lemmings and I love this video even more
I didn't know what life was until I saw this.
Music that would also work: Dumbo's "Elephants on Parade" ;)
I am obsessed with this song.
the dislikes are from people who disliked the video 🤣🤣
...But this is marvellous.
@Quate32 Holy heck, it's Quate32!!! Hello!! :O
I love this.
That was.... ****** brilliant.
Still the best! I keep coming back....
Neil another work of genius i must say I LOVE YOU
You are a freaking genius.
This really doesn't have the recognition it deserves...
I mean Ive honestly listened to this about as much as BrodyQuest
I liked the ending, made me laugh
This was incredible. I love Lemmings.
when u walkin
Randomly stumbled upon this, and, wow. Epic!
This is awesome. More like this please :)
And that my friend, was truly magical.
Are you actually draco malfoy???
NICE............The greatest!
Brilliant!!
That was really cool.
Sweet momma! I am having an eargasm right now!
the mp3 on his website is literally just this video redirected into a video-less format, gotta love old neil XD
@DemonTomatoDave What a surprise that we'd see eachother here! How are things? Your songs are great!
I thought I was freaking out for a second! xD
I was obsessed with this game when I was five.
Is that Ferb from Phineas and Ferb?
Holy shit, Neil. Just when I think I've seen the best you top yourself again.
@puffleissocute I was referencing the song "Lemon Demon"
It's Lemming Demon.
Lemming out of hell!
Still slaps.
Okay, so everybody needs some downtime...but Neil, you could've been working on that Luna puppet we've all been waiting for!
T👍
got here from the lemonade stand, this is awesome
lemming demming
Awesum!!!
speechlessness o.0
NEIL HAVE MY BABIES
@tfujszempaj absolutely yes
One word...Epic.
That was epic
TOO. EPIC. TO. COMPREHEND.
...I suddenly want to go and play Lemmings.
i feel like i shouldn’t see this
Wait until you see Neil's unlisted videos
don't worry the all star teen spirit video will enlighten you
@@Vitorio582 how do i see them
That really was a Lemming D, man
It really was Le Ming d Man
@@HeckinLeBork omg hi Heckin
Really nice:)
OH MY GOD
Did Neil predict the go damn dab?
2:12
@tfujszempaj knowing what Neil did...that doesn't even sound far fetched
@@SlamWeasel neil invents all
Nah it more like lemming 2 invent dab(since he ripped it from the game)
Oh My God, A Thermin!
is it me or has the audio messed up at the start
i feel like i've discovered something illegal
