discovered that the lemming scene was actually filmed at the Bow River near Canmore, Alberta, and further that the same small group of lemmings was transported to the location, jostled on turntables, and repeatedly shoved off a cliff to imply mass suicide.

That Wikipedia quote implies it wasn’t deadly, but checking the end line citations, their reference calls it a “mass animal killing made to look like natural suicide” and makes no mention of using the same group multiple times.
A proud Disney tradition.

Boy, markdown + deep links is not a good combination.
how big was the cliff? did they get hurt or die or was it even more faked?
great game back in the day though btw. we need another version. maybe with a political bent

I was going to say that’s still better than the Lemmy scene.
