Holiday '94 levels reward message:

  Congratulations!  You have completed
   all of the new 1994 Holiday Levels.
    Now, enjoy the bonus levels from
  the 1993 edition of Holiday Lemmings!
 Or, for even more bouncing Lemming fun,
contact Psygnosis for information on the
  third chapter in the Lemmings saga!!

Surely can't be right. ??? The text is scrambled because these levels have a high quantity of bombers.
You're right it can't. Funny, though. :-)

Since Oh No! More Lemmings was an expansion pack, I find it likely that the designers weren't actually concerned with making beginner levels, since the game was already well-established (and in fact was initially required in order for the expansion to run, on some platforms). However, for the purposes of this exercise I'm treating it as if Oh No! could have been a game in its own right.
My own conjecture is that the Tame levels were established for the purpose of allowing less capable players to be able to see what ONML is like if they're unable to get through the Crazy levels.

Lemmings Main / Re: All the levels in spreadsheet format

I have a copy here.

Please note however, It's *probably* okay but as I've had this for a long time and occasionally use it for different things, it may contain errors.
Can the errors and omissions be fixed? As in, like, "officially", as it were?

Tech & Research / Re: Glitches in Lemmings

Here I will attempt to compile a list of all known glitches in Lemmings. This thread is for the first-generation Lemmings games: Lemmings, Oh No! More Lemmings, and Xmas/Holiday Lemmings. Lemmings 2 has its own thread, <a href="indexdc94.html?topic=199.0" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">here</a>.
The link to L2 glitches doesn't work. Just so you know.

EDIT: here's the link, which is different from what it used to be because I changed the folder structure of my dropbox:
<a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15543016/lem/Lemmings Levels.xls" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15543016/lem/Lemmings%20Levels.xls</a>

I have no idea if this has been done already, but I've been compiling all the levels into a spreadsheet for perusal. Source for Lemmings 2 and Holiday Lemmings was tle.vaarties.nl ; source for Genesis lemmings was half playing it through myself and half harvested from Planet Lemmings (or whichever one they get the screenshots from in the review thread).
I double checked your work - or rather, some of it - and at least two of those numbers are wrong. In the Polar level "Snowed In !", Ernst (of TLE) was, in fact, able to beat David Crooke's record of only losing three, by losing only two - but for some strange reason (correct me if I'm wrong!) you can lose up to FOUR can still get Gold. Perhaps they screwed up (saving all but two is easy enough), but I verified it, and you can, too.

I also double checked We're Coming Home, of the Circus levels, and you can lose up to 2 before losing the Gold.

Help & Guides / Re: Music fix for ONML (DOS)?
« on: October 17, 2018, 04:14:07 AM »
(If you aren't overly concerned about having an exactly DOS-like gameplay experience, consider NeoLemmix instead. It's a fork of Lemmix which does away with "replicate DOS perfectly" and instead fixes all the glitches, and adds a bunch of new features (as NeoLemmix's primary intention is for custom levels, but you can play the official games on it too), while retaining a DOS-like visual appearance for the most part.)
What are the "glitches"? Some things that I've heard called "glitches" are bad, and not things I'd want kept (like the direct drop or ability to bash through steel), and some are not so bad (like floating at the last instant, maybe).

Lemmings Main / Re: Real life lemmings prank

I don't see why not. It starts out as the Lemmings intro, but ends with the words "real life" stamped on the top.

I'd just copy-and-paste the description of Zug dot com from the page.

I wanna see someone webcam it in fullscreen and then upload the result to YouTube.

Tech & Research / Re: Isn't It Supposed To Play Jingle Bells?
« on: December 06, 2017, 06:11:13 AM »
Holiday Lemmings (all versions) have always only had three tunes - Jingle Bells, Good King Wenceslas, and (depending on platform) either Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer or another one I don't know the name of (but it was also in the mix of tracks on Original Lemmings).
Forest Green for the Dos release
Some hymnals use that tune for O Little Town of Bethlehem.

<strong>Post-level messages</strong>
Where more than one of the cases below applies, the order of precedence is: 0 > Bronze > Silver > 1.
Clarify this, please? It's less than clear to me.

Lemmings Main / Re: A contest I'd like to do eventually
« on: November 29, 2017, 10:39:34 PM »
It would be difficult. All the custom graphic styles I've seen so far are awful, at least by comparison to the original Lemmings and ONML.

Lemmings Main / Re: LEM-off! An idea, of sorts
« on: November 29, 2017, 10:37:41 PM »
Or, even better, Xmas Lemmings or a different minigame.

The link for the glitch thread is broken. Where can I find that thread?
