Unofficial Lemmings for iPhone gets C&D

Awesome, but haven't I been seeing the same levels of lemmings for the last 20 years? Did they ever make new ones?

i have always loved being called "ardini" - makes me sound like a magician :=)

as for the article, there is also a version for palm pre, which was also submitted for review/release - and we can easily build a linux version (ubuntu, moblin, meego, et al) as well. we just never started the virtual machine to build it during this period.

as for the "port", it is unfortunate to get a C&D from sony - namely since we were going to release this for free as a tribute to the game. what it means now is one of two things, we either

- work out a deal with sony (unlikely, but worth a shot)
- rework all the art, sounds, levels and release it as a new title

we did actually start talking with art people a while ago to redo all of the artwork, but due to previous commitments, it was not a feasible thing, however, now with the response we have received from this port, we are considering doing it. exactly the same game, very similar levels and just a new name - it could still make it to the store.

lets see what SCEE wants to talk about around licensing, and worst case - it will come under another form, we do have a few concepts in mind.

Can he port Manic Miner too? Love that game..

Now that Sony are competing against the iPhone and iPod touch in the gaming arena, it's not that likely that they'll allow this on a competing device.

Note to developers

If you're going to rip off someone's IP, at least have the decency to do something with it, rather than duplicating every pixel of the original.
New graphics, new levels, new gameplay, doesn't matter. Just something.

Modify the character, pink hair, yellow body, call them Squeejays, and : Bang : Whole New Game..
(*by which I mean, DRAW, not copy+paste the freakin' sprites and recolour them*)

Add editor, job done.

Not likely to happen (authorized iPhone or WebOS port that is)
Lemmings is already available for the PSP. If it came out for any phones, it would likely come out for Sony Erricson phones.

Why don't you spell his name right. It's Aaron Ardiri.

Hah! Sony will never let it happen.

Sadly :(

I really hope they see the light... but im very much doubtful. Afterall, they have their own (failing) portable games system to support...

I would seriously love me some Lemmings on my iPhone and iPad. Sony, get it going!

Awesome! I've been wondering for years what happened to Lemmings, as I think it would be a perfect game to play on the iPhone! Let's hope Sony wakes up.
