Holiday Lemmings was already a thing back in 1992, but X-mas Lamers? Ugh. It's time for Christmas Lazy Game Reviews, so let's take a look at this thing that existed for MS-DOS PCs!

LGR inspired me to restore (to be generous to my efforts) an old desktop to handle some games I miss that don't work on my modern laptop right.
A 2007 Compaq Presario with Vista, 2x512MB RAM, a 2. 4GHz Athlon-64, and a semi-functional DVD drive. Dug out an old Radeon HD5450 graphics card and a USB DVD drive I had in the cupboard, and grabbed a few 1GB sticks of DDR2 from the tip shop. Had to try a lot of configurations of the RAM to get it to boot and stay booted.
Halo 2 Vista and Rome Total War work beautifully for the first time in years, Quake II for the first time I've ever seen, and I feel like I'm onto a new hobby. Already put the word out to family and friends that I'll take any defunct PCs they have cluttering the house up. Planning to benchmark it with Crysis.

HAH - This is hilarious - thank you so much! I was actually part of the group designing and building these games back in 1992. We were just three 13-year old kids goofing around, but pretty proud when it first got released as freeware with some french computer magazine. In any case; I love the review! :)

I actually think this is actually a double parody. not just of Lemmings, but I'm pretty sure the -Mental Crew- name is a reference to a demoscene group called -Future Crew- (who made a fair bit of cool stuff. especially excellent tracker music.

It wouldn't be the holiday season without LGR. Classic Christmas Clint makes his return once again. In regards to Lamers, it's basically a Lemmings ripoff. Of course, its nowhere near as good as Lemmings. Thanks for the video. Merry Christmas!

Lemmings RULED. Used to play it with my little sister. It was super addictive, we had both fun and were annoyed at the little green-haired guys. We still mimic the -3. 2. 1. OH NO! - self-destruct lemming from time to time.

I remember Christmas Lamers from some random game collection my parents bought me back in 97 or 98 that they found at our local Walmart. I wish I still had that disc. So many random games I spent hours playing.

Darn. A shame this wasn't realized better. I love games that take existing concepts and completely flip them, like the Karoshi series, or that one game that put you in charge of all the enemies in a shmup.

You have to love that someone tried to make fun of a game by showing how inept they were at game design. Or maybe that was the point. They were trying to show how to make a REAL lump of crap!

NOW December has come. Christmas Clone, my favorite Holiday Hare track and a childhood memory. :D
So. why the hell did you think you'd get anywhere trying to converse with him? XD

I swear the Christmas clone gets worse and worse every year. The first time he was coherent, but as the years go by he just seems more deranged. can't imagine how he'll be in 2018!
