Other Projects / Re: [Android] Lemmings-like game (WIP)
« on: March 22, 2015, 07:55:47 AM »
Wait... I think my sister has an Android phone! Maybe, if I ask nicely... I might be allowed to get this on her phone... that would make me even more excited!

I had made the layout of the next level, when this happened... :(
It happens quite often, actually, because I'm doing it in my bedroom. I might just walk over it at night.

Do you have Super Smash Bros. then? For Wii U or 3DS?

Long ago, I watched Sesame Street a lot. Also, at some point we had a television (with Playstation 2) in our class at school (someone left it there who went to a different school, yay), so at that point I watched a bit more often.
Sometimes I watch the Olympic games, and there's one Dutch show I occasionally follow.
Not anything more than that, though.

Would you guys mind if I hosted something similar to this on a different forum?

My year of birth was (and still is) 1999! I have a reasonable chance to witness three centuries! ;)

Fan Corner / My Lego Lemmings Stopmotions

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.

I've had a lot over the years, but most of it isn't exactly what I'd consider presentable any more.

Snip
Those are very nice!

Non-Lemmings Gaming / Re: Top Six DOS Games
« on: March 09, 2015, 07:51:00 PM »
Well, I haven't played too many DOS games, I play more Atari ST. But for the games I do know (often also available for ST) (not necessarily in the right order) (I'm not 100% certain they are all DOS, but I think most of them are) :
Lemmings, and things like oh no, holiday, just the games using that engine.
Lemmings 2.
Lost Vikings. It's a great game, I think, although I've never gotten very far in it.
LucasArts games, I played Day of the Tentacle and Sam & Max: Hit the Road. I only saw other people play DotT, the only one I completed is Sam & Max.
Dizzy: Prince of the Yolkfolk. Why? Well, mostly nostalgia, I guess, it was one of the games I really loved when I was young, even though it's not of great quality.
Lotus: The Ultimate Challenge. For its soundtrack. It's amazing. I've spent more time listening to the soundtrack than actually playing this game, I think.
Fable. It's a pretty nice point & click adventure game.

Those are some DOS games I really liked.

Games I'd really like to play in the future: Monkey Island and the Gobli(i(i))ns trilogy.

Does anyone have any recommendations for me? I don't like overly violent or occult games (in fact, if Lemmings wouldn't be one of my favourite games of all time, I would've stopped playing when I saw the horror theme for the first time).

Thank you! That actually works better than the original, I'll be using lem-fix3 from now on!  :D

Lemmings Main / Re: Lemmings Touch first impressions
« on: March 09, 2015, 06:08:34 PM »
Oh, this looks cool!
I didn't know official Lemmings games had still been made in the last 10 years and honestly, I hadn't expected it.
But to see things like this have still been made and hopefully will still be made makes me quite happy. I don't have anything with Playstation though, so the moment I'd hype is the moment it'd come back to Nintendo! ;)

Help & Guides / DOSBox Lemmings Glitch?
« on: March 08, 2015, 07:03:07 PM »
Hi, it's me again!
Sorry for the unclearness in the title. I'll shortly explain the problem I'm having.
I'm using DOSBox 0.74, on Windows 7. Then I'm playing the original Lemmings downloaded from Abandonia.
Sometimes, when using left click to retry a level or go to the next level, my game goes back to the title screen and freezes. If I press Alt+Enter it'll unfreeze again. But the freezing is not really the problem, the problem is that it goes back to the title screen, which makes the music playlist reset.
Does anyone else have this problem occurring? Does anyone know why it happens or how it's solved?
I'm almost certain it won't happen in SuperLemmini or Lemmix, but I prefer DOSBox.

That plush actually looks really cool!
I hope it's not too expensive...

« on: March 07, 2015, 02:43:16 PM »
Hm, why would you prefer Lemmix or Lemmini above DOSBox? I read some of the "clones" have got bugs fixed, but if there are any bugs in the original Lemmings, I'm probably used to them.
Also, those level packs sound really interesting (and I understand that I'll need Lemmix/Lemmini to play those), but I think I'm going to try to finish the original Lemmings and Oh No! More Lemmings first.

General Discussion / Hi, I'm 607, and this is my story!
« on: March 03, 2015, 07:25:27 PM »
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.
