Later when we got around to unpacking our goodies, I looked up Lomax and naturally got very excited when I saw the prices it's literally one of the two or three best garage sale finds I've ever had. I saw The Adventures Of Lomax in there and wasn't familiar with it, but I saw the Psygnosis label on it and I was familiar with stuff like Psybadek and Colony Wars, I figured this would be good too. There were like 15 games in there and I want to say I paid $30, and they were mostly sports games but I saw MediEvil in there and knew I wanted that. In maybe 2014 we were south of Topeka, Kan., and I purchased a box of games for what I felt was exactly the right price.
It's nowhere near as glamorous as the seemingly tremendous luck experienced by other folks out there on the internet, especially these days with so much competition, but I've had at least a few fortunate purchases. She's a quilter and a gardener, so it's a great way for her to find lots of stuff she loves, and naturally I look for games and trading cards out there, too. My wife and I go to a lot of garage sales. Just a little bonus rambling for my audio- and text-only podcast and website audiences, I thought I'd share the story behind why I did this review. Not only do these things not look like lemmings at all, but I've come to find out that real lemmings don't even jump off cliffs or have magic! I mean I'm starting to wonder, do lemmings even wear costumes? Do bandicoots even wear jeans, do hedgehogs even wear sneakers, DO PLUMBERS EVEN WEAR TIES?! EVERYTHING I KNOW IS A LIE! I don't know, y'all, this is really starting to bug me. It's uncommon and expensive, so I as a renowned cheapskate I can't recommend it, but strictly as a game, I give The Adventures of Lomax a 4 out of 5. It suffered through underwhelming publicity and sales, but today, through the power of hindsight, it stands out as a 2D gem among it's s****y-low-poly-3D peers. by spin-slapping the s**t out of them! But it's rife with scientific inaccuracy no way these things are real lemmings, and the spin attack is obviously more reminiscent of the common bandicoot.Īlas, a new 2D game in the late 90s might as well be a salad on the menu at the cheesecake factory. There's even a nice story your lemming friends were turned into adorable little monster baddies, and you have to save them!. It's very pleasant to the eyes and ears, and the platforming is intuitive and polished.

After years of cute-funny puzzle games, Lomax got fed up with the other Lemmings' crap and broke off for his own thing, The Adventures Of Lomax, a 1996 Psygnosis 2D platformer for Windows and PS1.
