lemmings 2 problem
« on: February 25, 2007, 09:44:45 PM »
Hi
I have downloaded a full copy of lemmings 2 but can't seem to get it to run.
I am using dosbox to load it. Installation works and then comes up with something saying "type L2 to start game", I type L2 and it says it is loading but then never loads.
anyone else had this problem or got any ideas of how to fix it?
Please help as I am desperate the play the full game as its the only lemmings game I have yet to play (apart from the newer playstation versions).
Thanks in advance
gini

Try running L2-FIX instead of just L2... if you're copy doesn't have L2-FIX.COM (a command file, not a website), grab a copy from my site.

As I've said for the n-th time, please download all old Lemmings games from abandonia.com.  Their copies of games tend to work, unlike other random internet sites you might've downloaded from.  And I didn't even need to use L2-FIX to run the game.

Also, especially if you're using Windows XP, please make sure to run all old DOS games like Lemmings 2 in DOSBox.  You can download and get information on how to use DOSBox here: http://dosbox.sourceforge.net
