On another note, Eric, are you going to make it multiplayer Lemmings like in the originals?

Or make a version incorporating all the features nobody likes from the other Lemmings games and making a new one? ... Heh, yes. I'm a fan of originality. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. >_<

They were probably named for the behaviour Lemmings are meant to exhibit. Of course, this turned out to be a Disney fallacy.

 Do any other animals exhibit this supposed behaviour? Mass suicide?

Oh, hang on. Yes. They're humanoid. They kill themselves with bombs. Lemmings are humans.

Lemmings isn't meant to be a completely cartoonish game. Just look at the tileset with a great big devil pig in it with a level that's made of a giant "666". It justifies the electrocution, weights, rocks, and ... the best one, bombers!

I'm interested to know why everyone goes on about how Jeroen Tel did the music... Um, Tim Wright and Brian Johnston are just imaginary, are they? :S

That remix was pretty ... dull. Why are all the remixes really boring techno? Everyman and his dog can make those in GarageBand in 5 minutes. Never anything special.

Interesting to see a nice new collection of the DOS versions.
And of course there's the original Amiga versions on the Lemmings File Archive.
And the Sega Master System version can be found on SMS Power Music Archive.
And the Sega Mega Drive version can be found on Project 2612.
And the Windows versions can be found on VGMusic, erroneously listed under NES.
And the PSP versions of the past-tunes are coming as I record them from my PSP Brite... Links soon. :-)

Totally reviving an old thread, but...

NES: The levels are much harder due to the mechanics of the game. Some will say they did the best they could, but look at how good the Sega Master System version is. Anyway, the levels are squeezed into a smaller space (look at Use Bashers This Time, it's tiny). Lemmings build much steeper ladders, but that's OK because the levels are smaller. When Lemmings bash, whole blocks of terrain disappear, not just pixels-per-bash. When Lemmings dig, same thing. When Lemmings mine, about 3 or 4 blocks of diagonal terrain disappears even before the Lemming has got there yet. This leads to the interesting idea that Lemmings will pass a miner and fall through the ground while he's still mining. Sometimes Lemmings won't do a job because they don't have room to, but you still lose the skill. For an example of how bad this game was, just play Just Dig. If one Lemming digs, he will live. If all the rest fall down his hole, they will all die because someone turned gravity on too high.

GB: Same thing as above, but black and white.

GBC: This version contained Oh No! More Lemmings. Alot of the levels are missing, and none of the music is the same as any other version. It's superior to the previous two versions in that gravity has finally been fixed so Lemmings don't die from innocuous leaps.

Macintosh: The funniest thing is the censorship. The devil exit has been replaced with what looks like a sort of melted birthday cake with eyes and buckteeth. Also, the levels are squashed in horizontally similar to the Sega Mega Drive version.

Sega Mega Drive: The terrain are all different colours, and as mentioned above have different levels replacing older ones.

Sorry to revive old threads, but information helps many.

Hi there, wondering if one of our very few Linux users knows of a way to run Adventures of Lomax in Linux. Wine doesn't work, because it can't force Lomax to accept the colour depth and just play. I don't wanna install Qemu or VMWare just to play the game, and I don't wanna dual boot either. Too much space wasted on a Windows installation...

Anyone? =)

(PS: If a solution exists, the game may become playable under Mac OS X too)
