Hi everyone!
I've been a Lemmings fan for almost 2 months now (you can't blame me for being late to the party when I was born way after the games came out), and I'm currently trying to beat the first game. So far, I managed to beat all of the fun and tricky levels, and have reached level 2 in taxing.
I actually stumbled upon this forum by complete accident while searching to see if Lemmings merch existed or not and found this topic (https://www.lemmingsforums.net/index.php?topic=1794.0).
I played quite a few ports of Lemmings 1 and want to eventually make custom levels for it, but that's something to talk about some other time.
That's all for now, see you in another (hopefully more meaningful) post! :thumbsup:
Hi CrazyAfroAli, welcome to the forums!
Which version of Lemmings 1 are you playing (Amiga, DOS, Genesis, etc)?
Keep up the good work! The levels only get better from the start of Taxing onwards :)

I started with the SNES version, and then eventually moved to WinLemmings, and then used Lemmini for a while, before eventually coming to this forum and discovering your fork of NeoLemmix, which is what I'm using as of earlier today (with classic mode enabled, of course).

Glad to hear it! :lemcat:
Playing without Classic Mode is the norm on the Forums and you'll likely switch to that eventually (as we all do!), but it's great that you're choosing to experience the game as originally intended for your first playthrough :thumbsup:

More crucially: Most custom levels are generally designed with the assumption that you're not using classic mode, and are (at least to some extent) taking advantage of the fine control features (eg. framestepping, rewinding) that exist on modern engines. The official levels are of course perfectly playable under classic mode conditions, but some custom levels might be a bit of a struggle.

Good to know, I probably would've disabled it for custom levels anyway, but right now I'm just playing the original levels
Hello @CrazyAfroAli and welcome to the Forums! :thumbsup: We're so glad to have you :) Ah, a youngin huh? Well, that makes me feel really old :laugh: In contrast to you, I'm older than the game of Lemmings. Not by much, but I am older than the game nonetheless!
Anyway, hope the rest of your L1 journey goes well! :thumbsup: If you need any assistance on how to get past some of these levels, you of course are more than welcome to ask. Except for Lemmini, I haven't played Lemmings on any of the ports you listed except for Dos, which is the port of the game I grew up with, and much later on I believe a bit of the Genesis port but on an emulator in the 2010s.
