Hello :-)
I want to play Lemmings under Linux. What is the best suggestion?
Pingus was more or less... wrong. Compared to the original Lemmings anyway. Lost the feel entirely. Much in the same way The Tribes and All New World did.
I've read a few websites proclaiming they can run Lemmings for Windows 95 in WINE on various Linux distributions. This sounded cool, so I tried it on Kubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft, unstable). No graphics! Sound worked however.
Then I tried Lemmini, which worked great! MOD files worked like a charm, graphics all nice and clear... but because it's Java, and that has a reputation of not being the fastest doohickey out there, I have to put the game on fast forward. And even then, it's running slower than full speed.
Had a go at UAE. Never again. Had a go at Sega Lemmings with an emulator (Master System is my favourite version!), but can't find a decent emulator with sound (MEKANIX is too slow). Generally do not like the other versions, so won't bother with emulating them. DOSBox works ... I didn't say well.
What is a Linux boy to do? Tux, why hath thou forsaken me?
