Now that got my attention....as a big Lemmings fan I'm quite intrigued by this caveman puzzle game, how does it compare to Lemmings in terms of difficulty and fun factor?

How similar could it really be? Cavemen were not capable of blowing themselves up, parachuting, or even building ladders which are things everyone knows lemmings are totally capable of.

Lemmings was better designed overall, but Humans had more humor. I enjoyed the game nearly as much as Gobliins.

I found the wishlist for it

And that wishlist had this link for the games

This pic will give you an idea of how it resembled Lemmings (I think there were parachutes on some levels, but maybe I am remembering wrong. Its been a long time since I could play it.

This article explains the Lemming-esque dynamic even better - and yes, those dinosaurs were annoying!

The only problem with these links is that the game *I* remember came out in the 1990's, and it was funnier than the 2009 version.

EDIT: Yay! I found a reference to the original The Humans game!

Thanks, I gave a vote for it. (It appears to be for free on Abandonia though)


But from the screenshots and F4LL0UT's drawing it appears they could stack on top of each other, I can't remember lemmings doing that. Stacking, yes! If lemmings could do that, they wouldn't need to build those darn stairs exactly at the right distance from a wall. Or build retarded zigzagging stairs where a biological ladders as in the Antz movie would come in more handy. On the other hand, lemmings are probably too physically weak to climb on top of each other and pull each other up. They look like vegetarians with their spinach hair.
Thanks for the links, I can't believe I missed out on this game. This is one reason why this thread is the best.

Yes, that's the one. IIRC one of the most commonly used abilities was to build ladders out of people. And yeah, it was kinda like Lemmings but with direct controls. Would love to see those games here. A bundle containing Humans 1 + 2 was my first very own PC game ever (the other ones were my brother's) and as I mentioned, I never really got it to run, only years later I got to play it at a friend's place. Quite a bummer for a little kid (I think I was six or seven when I got the game). I'm wondering whether I still have the disc somewhere.

Also people, you really need to reply to the post of the person who posted the last riddle so he/she can confirm whether a guess was correct or not.

Wow! I actually guessed one :D

My turn then. I threw this together fairly quickly, but I think you'll guess it :)

Watch Dogs?

Nope, but it does have dogs in the title

Dylan Dog Through the Looking Glass ?

or it's a play on words and it's Sea Dogs

( 'sea' -> 'see', hence the looking glass)

I had to Google that title as I'd never heard of it before. No, this is a more recent adventure game

Added a few details to the pic

Nancy Drew Ghost Dogs?

(those dogs do look rather ghostly)

That's the game I had in mind. Well done! (especially given my ghastly clues ;)

The stylus and whiteboard pass back to you, Awalterj ^_^

Phew, I was about to throw in the towel there :D
With just the first picture, I wouldn't have figured it out but I'm sure someone would have! Problem is, where is everybody...??
Fortunately it wasn't THAT recent of a game, I'm not very familiar with games post 2002 which is when i stopped playing for a long time.

Here's the next pic:

As usual an awesome picture! You are a genius!

I'll take a wild guess: Red Alert?

Advance War ?
