Is Lemmy short for lemmings? Like those little guys that follow each other. The walkers, the diggers and the ones that stopped the others from plunging off the cliff.
I thought lemmy was the guy from motorhead
This is their logo

Ah so it is a lemming but a different lemming. I think it might be tongue in cheek though. Haha.
One of my favourite games. I had it on Commodore 64 first I think. On tape.
Haha. That tape extension was expensive. We had some formula 1 game and cricket.
Also I remember skateboarding, PGA golf and the Summer Olympics. ☺
I broke so many joysticks playing Summer Olympics.
Haha. If I can remember correctly you had to slam that joystick left and right a million times just make your athlete run fast.
Yep. Ended up with a crate full of joysticks. Sometimes, if you left them for a while, they'd start working again. Had about 10 in the crate I think, as my older cousin gave me his. There was always one that worked, but it could take a while to find it.
Same for Motorhead. Lemme a quid til Friday.
