Never heard of this... but I got excited for a sec because I had this disk sitting around that said Commodore Promotional Pack on it-- sounded like the right kind of name.  Then I looked it up and it's just some bundled version of the game.  Couldn't check myself, anyway, because I don't have an Amiga :/

I hope someone can find this.

I just moved all the Lix specific ones, but I didn't move the ones talking about multiplayer in general since they refer to all games.

Moved to the correct location.  There's not a lot of ground to cover here, so people are likely to see your post no matter where you post it-- so I highly recommend posting it in the right place!

I also second geoo's advice; Lemmix is the best way.

Portal is amazing.  One of my favorite games from recent years.  I still haven't reinstalled Portal 2 on my gaming rig yet, but I probably will thanks to the new level creation DLC.  Funny, I'm just excited to check out other puzzles.  While I can solve them, I'm terrible at making puzzles (exactly why I haven't made any Lemmings levels)

I have been knocking my way through a lot of games.  College just got done for the summer, and I used a few spare days I had before I could head home just to start finishing things... since I own around 700 games and have probably only finished around 30% of them.

Right now my primary focus is Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii, since I never actually finish RPGs most of the time.  I'm mostly liking it.  Looks great for a Wii game and the music is phenomenal.  The gameplay is mostly interesting, though sometimes it gets repetitive and sometimes it gets extremely unfair (I've found it very easy to end up under-leveled for larger battles-- so grinding is somewhat of a necessity)

Heh, those screenshots took me back many years.  I got Lemmings Revolution at Christmas once and my PC ran it with similar graphical problems (the blank results screen, and the level selection icons didn't appear at all) because the Riva TNT card it had was too old.  Took about a year until I upgraded to a Radeon 7500 to play it without randomly clicking on the level select trying to hit the right icon by chance.

Hey, I can shed some light on this musical mystery, since I have some knowledge in vintage sound cards and the likes.  I know exactly what this is.  (WARNING: Boring technical explanation ahead.)  While the early Sound Blasters all had the OPL synthesizer, up through the AWE64, later Creative cards (starting with the Live) did not include it.  Everything past the AWE64 was based on technology acquired from Ensoniq.  Ensoniq's early MIDI-based ISA cards like the Soundscape didn't have an OPL synth at all, but a lot of games only had OPL support and no MIDI yet (except for a select few) so Ensoniq made a sort of compatibility hack for people who didn't have a Sound Blaster to use alongside a Soundscape.  What it did was roughly remap OPL waveforms to MIDI instruments.  I don't really know the details, but what's for sure is that it was very rough and usually didn't sound that good.

Later, after the Soundscape cards, Ensoniq did a PCI card called the AudioPCI.  They said that it was Sound Blaster compatible, which was pretty handy because most PCI cards couldn't do that (a limitation stemming from how games were programmed to access the Sound Blaster in the first place-- through the ISA bus).  To my knowledge it was mostly software emulated.  While they got the wave audio working, the OPL synth couldn't be done due to the processing limitations of the day.  So they jumped back to their hack from the Soundscape and kept on using it.  After Creative bought out Ensoniq, they made the Live.  By that point Windows 9x had been out for several years meaning Creative didn't really want to bother with DOS compatibility, so they did the bare minimum, making Ensoniq's stuff from the AudioPCI work on the Live-- I suppose just as an act of courtesy.


In layman's terms:  The SB Live, which you heard this on, doesn't have the OPL synth that the Lemmings games were programmed for, and tries to be compatible with it by roughly replacing its sounds with MIDI instrument equivalents.  So what you heard is its best approximation.

My old Pentium II had an AudioPCI in it, and when I listened to the tape recording from the last page I recognized it immediately.  When I played Lemmings and also ONML on there it sounded just like that.  If you're looking for a recording, I can get the machine set up again and record it.  However it'll be a while, since I'm at college right now and my PII is not.  I'll be home for the summer in around 4 weeks, though.

I will see if I can find it.  My NAS gets a little less organized every time I upgrade the drive and hastily copy old files over, so the folders are a complete mess now.
