If you thought Lemmings got away with plenty of things, wait till you try "D" on the PlayStation. The Director missed a deadline and had to hand deliver the master copy of the game to a shipping center, so he switched out a "Clean" copy without the disturbing imagery and story with his original one, and it was released with a T rating without incident.

My first thought was "Wow, that looks like a Gradius level." Wasn't far off, apparently. 2 points for me.

Literally bloody hell!

the happy music makes it worse XD

That trap in the last level is horrifying! Of course, I've never made it that far into the game, so I didn't know about it until now...But what I DID know about for some time now and was equally shocked by is this sawblade trap in the follow-up game, "Oh No! More Lemmings". Needless to say, it was also bloody, though not quite as disgusting as the rock trap in this game...It's a wonder these games weren't rated T for Teen for these traps and that level...

Censorship mostly works on basis of determining what can people use to sue you. In China, for example, a level full of skulls and human bones would be unnaceptable. US mostly censors religious simbols and anything sexual, which are the items with the most sensitive and sue-prone activists. That said, I haven't seen this game in a really long time. I don't think I ever got to those levels, since I sucked at the game.

DO NOT SLOW THE ROCK TRAP DOWN... IT GIVES MORE NIGHTMARES

Demonic references and bloody stages are fine but when you add a cross you've gone too far.

The same people who created Grand Theft Auto... not a big surprise here.

When I was a kid, I was afraid by the "Menacing" level, to the point that i stopped my AtariST and didn't go on! Later, I faced my fear and finished the level, i was proud of myself lol. The same story happened with a platformer called "Flood". While Lemmings' level was a cameo from another game, Flood's gore was put in purpose more for a joke, and was completely unnecessary and as a kid not only i was disturbed by it but also couldn't understand why putting such graphic elements for nothing. But when i managed to play and finish the game, i found that funny.

That rock trap was really awesome, lol.

I don't know if this would count as a creepy moment, since it's mostly eerie, but in Terraria, after defeating the Celestial Towers, you get the message "Impending doom is approaching", then you have about one minute before the Moon Lord (the final boss of the game) spawns. During that minute, the music slowly fades, having disappeared completely after about twenty seconds. It gradually gets just a little bit darker, and darkness pulsates around the edge of the screen. The thing is, there's still sound, just not music, but at this point you probably won't be somewhere with much sound, since most people want to be prepared for when the Moon Lord spawns. Now, call me crazy, but I think the music, rather than fading out completely, is replaced with infrasound. I seem to always get a minor headache when it happens. It isn't that bad and doesn't last long afterwards, since very low-frequency infrasound can have some nasty effects, and Re-Logic would want to avoid that, but it would make sense if there actually IS infrasound. It has been suggested that infrasound can invoke fear in humans, and even some other animals. Then the boss spawns, music's back, end of story. But that single minute has such a huge impact.

I don't think it's physiologically possible for such a small being to contain this much blood... Honestly, I've never cared for blood effects in most games. Heck, I play a lot of Monster Hunter, and I always turn it off (and thank goodness I can) because it impedes the gameplay for me. It's harder to follow what's happening on the screen, if you're hitting a weak point or not, if you're getting a critical hit, etc... when there's an impossible amount of blood splashing everywhere. But in a game like Mortal Kombat where it's pretty much the selling point... yeah. Might as well not have the game on the console at all.

You can just tell this was made by Rockstar.

Even that bone and blood level from Lemmings has the same soundtrack from Menace level

I genuinely think the Nidoqueen thing was a glitch or oversight of some sort, and GF just refuses to retcon anything, ever.

That Can Can remix... *Monoko cultivating in the white desert flashbacks*

1:23, WTF!

5:00 - Because programmers forgot about Nidoqueen (and Nidorina), and they're too lazy to change status quo now.

Can can playing while a lemming is streched, torn in half and gibbed all in a few seconds is just I love it

Lemmings is also a favorite of mine, and was a big hit. One of its great innovations is combining a cutesy style with brutal violence, this combination has huge mainstream appeal (apparently a lot of people out there have a dark sense of humor) and is often copied, most famously by the game Worms which is still a major franchise to this day.

I enjoy git videos more thing any other so much I have re-watched them countless times

Metal. As. Fuck!

Censorship is complete bullshit. End of the story.

Mortal Kombat: How Come You Get to Keep the Blood? Lemmings: Heavy Metal?

So... bloody rock squishes and a level with snakes, skulls, and blood dripping from the ceiling is perfectly fine. But religious references are not okay. Makes sense.

What exactly is happening to the lemmings in the trap at 1:10? To me it just looks like they're being lifted by their feet and thrown down onto the ground again, disappearing for some reason.

I wasn't a child when lemmings was released, but I could just imagine being a child playing this game on the SNES and then going "WHAT!? WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!?" When I got to the menace levels and saw all the gore and disturbing imagery

The Japanese (Super Famicom) version does have the "666" themed as well as the chistian cross in "a beast II", also some names were censored in the western versions: level 11 in two-player mode changed "death" to "doom" & fun16/taxing 3 changed the writing "heaven" to "paradise". among other minor changes, yet the "menacing!!" level made it intact, with all the gore scenery uncensored, whoops! (side note: the christian cross in "A beast II" was also censored in the mega drive port of Lemmings in all regions)

I can't believe what those little creatures have seen

I always get very happy when I see that Whoisthisgit has uploaded a new video!

i think it's supposed to teach us to be very careful and cautious when traveling completely alone or trying to protect defenseless people

Honestly,This Goes Way Beyond "Creepy" The Word Messed Up Suits It's Contents.

The worst part of these creepy moments is the happy music.

Welcome to the time where offending people's beliefs or ethnicity was the number one thing to stop in their eyes. Seriously, you'd be surprised how many steps were taken in all kinds of media. Nowadays, it's the exact opposite: realistic violence is a guaranteed higher rating, while drugs, sensual stuff(So long as there is no naughty parts) and language(So long as none are bleep-worthy) will probably get you a T(or 14, if we're talking TV) rating. And religious stuff is explored all the time now(For better or for worse, depending on product).

Ah Lemmings, the game that shows to you that playing "Follow the Leader" can be hazardous to your health!!!

i played it on the PSP and they inproved the rock thing but the other ones are still creepy like the one that drags the lemming with a rope.good lord

I played the Psp version and they die in very brutal ways

This is the SNES version, it was a port developed by Sunsoft, it stayed true to the source material. The level "Heaven Can Wait (LET'S HOPE!)" was renamed to "Paradise Can Wait (LET'S HOPE!)". This change does not apply to the Japanese version. That's why the level "All the 6's" was replaced with a harder level. Also, the Sega Master System prototype had that level, but had to be trimmed down to fit on the Game Gear's small screen and was renamed to "Sixes Not!". Also, one taxing level had "Death" renamed to "Terminate" in the SNES game. Also, several Psygnosis properties were removed from the Sega versions for licensing issues. The Master System and Game Gear ports were developed by Probe Software.

Following on the ratings back in the day, it's true they would just play one/two levels tops and give it a rating according to that. These days, the ESRB/PEGI rating has gotten stricter, meaning they have to play the entire game then give it a rating there.

I grew up with MS-DOS as a kid. In-fact, Prince of Persia was the first game I ever played at the age of 5. Needless to say, I was already exposed to graphic violence at a young age.

I remember you. I feel so old because before I had a you tube channel, I watched your tails abuse videos when I was around 5

I played the lemmings games alot as a kid on pc back in the mid 90s, good times. Christmas edition was my favorite when they all wore Santa hats and red robes lol 😂 I never thought about it back then, but now as an adult, this game is grotesque indeed. Still a great franchise, and one of my favorite childhood games.

Oh wow, was literally just viewing the channel description and then saw this thing was posted less than a minute ago. What a great stroke of luck that was.

The rock one had me Shooketh

that rock trap.. brutal.. all done to the tune of fighting foodons.

You think you could cover this level in Dying Light where you have to investigate this apartment, only to find something terrifying in the basement? The gameplay changes dramatically while you're in there too.

A creepy moment for me was Dracula's 2nd form in the 3rd game. It is FREAKY!

Christ on a motorbike.

Lemmings has a few other nasty traps, such as an electric fence that zaps lemmings that touch it, or a hydraulic press that simply squashes them. There are also levels in which the entry hatch is far enough above ground that lemmings die from the fall, but there's only one parachute, and that lemming needs a couple of minutes to get to where he can build a bridge to save the others. Meanwhile, it's Splat! Splat! Splat! Splat! Splat!

WHY IS THE MUSIC TO THAT STAGE SO HAPPY JESUS

Lemmings!!!!! I used to love this game omg

I guess they just said "Fuck it,It's a lot of job change this entire level"

2:37 Lemmings creator:is chost halloween decoration

Lemmings is a great game, but if you think it's hard, you should look at its sequel, "Oh No More Lemmings!" Or worse yet, fan-made levels (of which I've made a few myself).

To be fair, the music in "Menacing" is quite badass!

3:45 There's a reason for this one. They wanted a level with all 5s, but couldn't do it, so they did 6s instead.

The unsettling part is when you try to access level 14 the level you get is [MENACING!!]

Love these vids man. Can you do CBE Cave Story?

Hey! Lemmings might have been my first game! haha

yay, an Amiga game!

I had this game on old phone.... the worst part was when you block the way and cant unblock it then

3:15 The music is even similar.

Since you like Lemmings, have you tried any of the Mario Vs. Donkey Kong games? (from March Of The Mini's onward)

2:10 backgrounds are from Menace (1988)

Love how can can playing in the back while lemming having a mass suicides

Never thought of any of those. I thought it was going to be sound version. 'mummy...' from the PSP

This is only the tip of the iceberg. Throughout the franchise there’s one or two traps that eat your lemmings. The chameleon wasn’t so bad but Tribes gas the freaking boogeyman in the cave Lem levels and Paintball has a green arm that grabs your lemmings from a hole and they scream!

That first game made me stop because I was like in some parts "this sounds familiar" then I realized it was cancan :D

1:33 - Holy fucking shit, that's gory! I played the Super Nintendo version, but never got this far, this probably would be a bit shocking for me back then. But anyway, it just makes it look more twisted with the happy music playing while this is happening. Though honestly, I think the only reason I never got that far was because I played the second game more.

1:23 That made me feel like I’m going to have a heart attack A very little bit.

damn lemmings quickly turned into a .exe game

And I'm not sure but I think than there were circular saws too.

Used to play this game then found this video Childhood ruined

In what version there are one mole on the level need to build before it to start diggind the way out?

the rock crusher makes me want to end it all

this game is sick

THE FREAKING CAN CAN CHIP TUNE!

kids who played through this game without being tramatized would probubly grow up to be not afraid at even fatal frame!

It's kinda like how my parents were ok with me watching an episode of Star Trek where a guy's head gets blown to bits or a woman dies screaming and crying in agony for around a minute while a hole opens up in her stomach, but I couldn't watch X-Men, which had far less objectionable material.

If I had to guess, the censors were more lenient back when the SNES port of Lemmings was a thing.

In the SEGA Master System version, All the Sixes remains but Menacing and the Shadow of the Beast levels are nowhere to be seen, but perhaps that's due to graphical limitations

"Lemmings is the most fiendishly hard games ever released." I live the game but it use to drive me fucking crazy when i was younger.

Can we have more lemmings videos. Like a full playthrough. I know that the awful tacticians hasn't had an update in a while

Funny enough, on the PC Windows version and PS1 if my memory serves me right, they removed these special levels (including MENACING) .. Secondly regarding the SNES version, my guess is they were worried about offending people based on religious reasons and not violence at the time in the early 1990s. That's just my guess. However though the Japanese Super Famicon version were not altered like they did on the US, CAN, UKV, EUR, FAH, and AUS version of the SNES port of Lemmings. On the Japanese Super Famicon they did have the All the 6's level on that, whilst the others was replaced with Ohayo Lemmings san! from memory too Level 16 Fun, They did have the word HEAVEN shown on that level on the Japanese version, other versions like the US, CAN, UKV, EUR, FAH, and AUS versions it's replaced with PARADISE which I assume was for religious reasons. That's just my view of it.

You should do a video on "Heart of Darkness" for the PS1, It got an E for Everyone rating. E FOR EVERYONE, not M, not T, not E10+, NO. E. It looks cutesy enough with it's FMV intro about going to a magical world to save your pet dog. but 99% of every death is you being swallowed whole and digested in detail. Here's the best example: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oL-pjcl-qpu8iY0.htmlm23s

2:15 "What the hell am I looking at?!" I cant tell if this is a "hell" pun or not.

you didn't hear the macintosh version's music of menacing...

for me the creepy and coolest thing is the chameleon i dont know if it was on the snes version but on PS1 was it

Some other video game censorship I don't understand is how they drop the F bomb in the Wario Land 4 intro theme. And in Pokémon Emerald, when talking to a person who wants you to make a phrase or trending slogan, Heroine is a option. I'm not joking. Literally.

Well I mean it was the 90's. The censors were probably high.

Everything needs to take the Lub Lub approach when censored.

Menacing got censored only in the '98 version

You should do an Underrated Games episode on Monster Tale for the Nintendo DS

when I saw the warning I was like (NO GOD NO PLEASE NO NO NOOO

I think the reason for the censoring in this game is because Nintendo has never wanted anything religious in their games, as for the blood, that's probably because, like you said, Mortal Kombat came out a year later and so the ESRB had not been created yet. That's just my guess.

i wanna save those lemmings!

THIS AIN'T KID FRIENDLY;^; I WILL STILL PLAY IT THO HAH

Another example of kiddy graphics doesn't equal a extremely kiddy difficulty is Rayman 1. That game will kick your ass, no matter the version, be it bullshit, screen crunch, or shit controls from the mobile version. Don't forget that the original PC version is the hardest version of them all!

after watching this, i just say: jesus christ on a motorbike
