Hi, it's me again!
I made this topic so I don't need to start a new topic every time I have a question.
This time I'd like to know: when do you think newcomers learn to reverse a Lemming's direction using a builder to build into the ground? At what rating levels? And should it be incorporated into another puzzle, or in a tutorial-style level? I can't recall where the original Lemmings learnt it, as I originally learnt the trick from ONML.

Edit Simon: Thread title.

Hi, it's me again!

I was wondering what custom music other people used. In my pack I use Amiga music, from all Lemmings games, a couple other games and a few themes taken from the internet composed by fans. But I feel not all really fit Lemmings, so I might want to replace some. So I'd like to hear if anyone of you used custom music that fits in a bit with Amiga Lemmings.

Hi, it's me again!
Nowadays, levels often go like this:
I figure out the solution in 5 minutes.
I spend 25 more minutes to execute it without having to start over due to one little mistake or bad luck.

I'm starting to think it'd be better to continue playing in NeoLemmix, so I can rewind and do things frame per frame. That also seems a little odd, though... because well, all those fails and things are still part of the game, and I feel like they should happen, because it's also about precision and agility instead of only the puzzle.

What do you think?

Hi, it's me again!

The past hour I've been busy setting up NeoLemmix. And I can say, I quite like it so far.
I've been using neolemmix.com, and I can say the site is set up quite nicely, I got the tutorial pack to work without too much trouble.

Some new things added seem a bit cheaty to me, though. Especially the minus. Going frames backwards? Wouldn't that be cheaty? I mean, making a mistake is never a problem anymore... as if you will ever make a mistake, with the one frame at a time method. So, yeah, I'm wondering what your thoughts on abilities like those are.

Hi, it's me again!

I'm currently playing the Taxing rating of the original Lemmings.
Completing a level takes me around 30 minutes, except for the fire tileset ones, those take me less than 10 minutes. I was wondering, is half an hour a bit long for solving a Taxing level?
So, my question is: approximately how long did solving a level take you when first playing the original Lemmings?
Also: how long does a Taxing-like-difficulty level you've never seen before take you nowadays? I assume they take less time than the Taxing rating when you originally played Lemmings, as you should've improved since then.

Hi, it's me again!
I've got started with Lemmings 2 (off-topic: in the original Lemmings I'm stuck at Lend a Helping Hand), and I'm not quite sure in what order I should play it.
I mean, the first two games had clear order with the different difficulties and numbered levels, but this isn't as obvious.
Could you advise me on what to do?

Hi, it's me again!
These are some Lego Lemmings Stopmotions I made a long time ago. They're not that good, but I had fun making them!
If I'm ever going to get back into doing these, I'll certainly try to figure out a way to hold the camera still.

So, yeah. I wasn't too sure on where to put this, but I thought this would be a reasonable place.
I'm new to these forums! I think I've been registered on a Lemmings forum before, but I forgot where and when. So yeah, I just did a Google search and this looked good to me.

(Warning: this post is kind of long, it might take you some time to read through it, but I'd really appreciate it if you did)

Who am I?
Well, 607, obviously. I'm a 15 year old male, and I live in the Netherlands. Dutch is my mother tongue, but through the internet I've learnt to speak English as well (not flawlessly, but good enough to have a conversation with people,
especially via text).
What is my experience with Lemmings?
I don't fully remember how it started. But I think my dad (about my dad: he passed away last January, but he has shaped a big part of my childhood) once showed me an old magazine about gaming.
I saw a screenshot of Lemmings, and it looked very interesting to me. I asked him what it was about, and I tried to draw concept levels for it, on paper (mind you, I created levels for a game I'd never seen in action. They weren't too great, obviously).
When I showed him, he said it wasn't exactly like I imagined it to be.
I think that was when he got to install it on the Windows 98 pc I used.
He wrote on a piece of paper how I could boot it up, using DOSBox.
I played it, and loved it.
Later I also played Lemmings 2 and 3, but I've always had the original as my main go-to Lemmings game.
After those first few months of knowing it, I think I've not done anything with it for a really long while. By that time I had learnt to install things myself (breaking my parents' rules, but oh well), and my Lemmings folder was a big mess.
I didn't know anymore how to play Lemmings 2 or 3, but I kept playing Lemmings now and then. I also had an Ultimate Lemmings disc from somewhere. I played it for a bit, and got to know Oh No! More Lemmings and Lemmings Paintball, but I didn't really like how either of those played, so I stuck to DOS Lemmings.
Even later I got interested into level editing, and got LemEdit. I found it really cool, but there was one problem with it: you couldn't move the mouse. Because of that I gave up on it eventually.
Since then I had got Lemmings 3D from a friend, but I've never looked to much into that game. It's interesting, but not nearly as fun as the originals, I think. I also discovered my dad actually owned the Atari ST version of Lemmings, which was the one he always played when he was younger. I never really used the floppy though, because there was something wrong with it: you needed to put it in, boot up the Atari, then the Atari would start making weird sounds, you needed to pull the floppy out and put it back in, and then it would boot correctly. I didn't dare doing that myself though, and as my dad was quite late home from work, I still kept playing the DOS version, even though I really like the Atari ST.
Then I moved to Windows 7. It took me some time to get used to it, but quickly I grew to like it quite a bit, although I'm not sure if I prefer it over XP or 98. I was playing mostly online, free games at this time. I also bought Minecraft, which I played a lot (and still do). But the CD-drive never got used anymore. I have tried to install Lemmings, but it said it wouldn't work on a 64 bit system.
Just recently I got back into retro gaming. I started by playing more and more on my GBA, and I got to love it again.
Then I decided to start playing on the Atari again, but my dad said he wanted to move it, because he wanted a rail track through the place where the Atari was standing. So I pitied that.
But then he died. That messed up things quite a bit, and it took a while for my life to get a bit stable again.
Then, about a week ago, I played on the Atari again, and the nostalgia kicked in.
The day before yesterday, I decided to try out old CD-ROMs. Most things didn't work anymore, but I got one game to work, and even more nostalgia kicked in.
Today I looked through all my CD-ROMs, wondering if I had some forgotten gems left somewhere. That was when I found Ultimate Lemmings back. I had completely forgotten about its existence. I played it for a bit, and it felt great to play Lemmings again, even though it wasn't exactly "right". Then though, I found a major design flaw in Lemmings '95. I realised I would always like this version less than the DOS version. So I decided to try installing the original Lemmings, once again.
I installed DOSBox, and looked through the help and things, but I couldn't quickly figure out things. Then though, I realised something. That paper, where he wrote down how to play Lemmings, I must still have that somewhere.
So I searched, and found. Even while my dad's dead now, and I can't ask him for help, he still helped me just then. I got Lemmings to work, and it felt awesome. Even though the levels are the same, the original (being it Atari ST or DOS) feels so much better than any remake to me.
Okay, but now why did I come here?
Well, in the evening, I started to wonder about the level editor again. I have made a new, fresh Lemmings folder, as as I already stated, my old one was a big mess. So I also needed to look for the editor stuffs again. After a while, I got it to work, but realised that problem was still there. I couldn't move the mouse. So I wanted to look for alternatives. That's when I found this.
After looking around a bit, I decided to make an account. But this time also use it, unlike the last time I registered for a Lemmings forum. I think by getting a little active for a bit here, I'll not only to refuel my love for Lemmings, I'll also be able to learn a lot about new advancements that I haven't heard about yet. Because I'm sure there are, looking at the projects sub-forum.
Okay, that was a bit long, I admit. But it felt great writing it, because I haven't written about Lemmings in a long time. I hope somebody took the time to read this, and I'm looking forward to getting you to know a bit!

PS: oh, and what's the answer to this captcha: "Please enter the name of the level found once in EVERY rank in Original Lemmings on the Amiga/DOS version. (Without punctuation other than spaces, not case sensitive)"?
I really wouldn't know.
