I've only got Lemmings (Mac and Genesis) and ONML (Mac). Favourite: definitely the original. But then, I always prefer the original; Civilization II is the only exception so far.

Gaah. Sorry, that was very stupid of me. Of course it would be possible that way; it doesn't prove anything one way or the other about whether it was intended.

Unfortunately, it's the other way round! Levels with odd numbers are originals; levels with even numbers are duplicates. (Look at Mike's list of numbers. Fun 3, for example, has no duplicate, and is odd.)

On the Mac, if you open the levels with ResEdit, the even ones correspond to resources with no level data, just skills and level statistics -- these are obviously the duplicates, since they don't need level data of their own. However, the resource type for these is called an ODDL (as opposed to LEVL) so it still contains the word "odd".......

Another interesting fact is that, in most pairs, the harder level is the original and the easier level is the duplicate -- as expected, since the harder ones were made first. However, this isn't true for Fun 1-7 (the training levels). Were these made before the harder versions? (That would make sense, both because it's easier to imagine someone thinking "Let's start with training levels for the different skills" than "Let's make easier versions of these as training levels" -- and because, with the one exception of Fun 4, the harder versions slot neatly into place before the harder versions of the later levels.)

Unless you're mixing the bomb explosion mask of Cheapo with the screenshot from "The Lemmings Solution" site or something.  ::

Of course; how else do you expect me to do it? The Mac takes ages to start up, so I'm not going to do that just to test how many pixels deep a bomb hole is.

However, I should have been more explicit, because I was trying a couple more of the "Challenges" I did take the opportunity to experiment on the Mac, and that's what my last post refers to.

Only one I know is #14, "Don't Speak" by No Doubt. (Great song.)

#12 and #19 are by the Spice Girls, but I don't listen to that sort of **** so I wouldn't know the titles.  

There's also a unique graphics level in the Sunsoft levels on the Genesis version.

Thank you!

I've confirmed 100% on Crazy 19 -- hell, that was hard! I'm not sure whether I missed a much easier way to do it or whether it's a terrain difference that really does make it harder on the Mac version.......
