Oh, it wouldn't be so bad. Besides, I enjoy making lists. :) You'll just have to wait a while.

Alright, I've gotten through the whole game at this point. The last two levels are the same as the last two from the original. After beating the last level, you are taken back to level 45 (yes, that is strange). Something I noticed was that the number of skills would reset after using a continue, which could lead to cheesy solutions at times. :P

Also, I wonder what the mystery levels are? See if there's any unique ones we can add to the Extra Official Levels pack. I also noticed for a split second that in the levels menu the cursor hovered over the "Look Before You Leap" level title. Did they really incorporate Oh No Levels in the arcade?
The "Look Before You Leap" title is just used for a regular Lemmings level. A few levels throughout the game have been given new titles. My personal favorite is the renaming of "From The Boundary Line" (Tricky 23) -- repeat of "Patience" (Fun 12) -- to "Who Used All The Blockers?". As for the "Mystery Levels", so far, there's nothing special. Just late-Mayhem levels. I say so far because they included "Mind The Step...". This wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that builders only turn around when their heads hit terrain, and not their feet. When trying to build out of the thick platform on the far right, the lemming will not turn around, and one of three things happen next:
  • The lemming walks over the wall and falls to the void below
  • The lemming builds through the wall because you clicked him in quick succession out of desperation
  • If you dug to the very bottom out of desperation, the lemming turns around, but most likely off the platform, because you dug too low
If there weren't multiple lemmings on this level on this version, the level would be unbeatable. And even with multiple lemmings, it's still a pain in the neck.
WHOA, I've certainly gone on a tangent, haven't I?

After playing it myself, I noticed a ton of tiny differences and quirks (some that are obviously due to it being unfinished, and others that might be intentional).
  • Builders build 13 stairs instead of 12
  • Bombers' explosions are larger (which can be a blessing and a curse)
  • Diggers' positions are inside the ground (especially troublesome when trying to make a digger build)
  • Miners are even slower
  • Bashers are quite... finicky... to say the least
  • Floaters' umbrellas make a sound when they open
  • All of the lemmings' voice clips have been redone
  • Every song plays at an extremely slow pace

I'm sure there's more I failed to mention...

I want to have a discussion on the Arcade Prototype of Lemmings, as I rarely see any mention of it on the internet. I've looked at it, and it is a pretty strange game. I find it to be an interesting piece of Lemmings history.

Hey. It's me, the guy who sent in that Fun 12 speedrun of LAUGHABLE quality to speedrun.com . I'm just here to ask, "What was your initial reaction to that run?" :P

I wanna do more individual level speedruns like that, but, y'know, better in every way.

Yeah, I didn't know which numbering to follow, as the Amiga/Mac II numbering and DOS/Atari ST numbering were different. I eventually settled for the Amiga numbering, though, in retrospect, I should have followed the DOS numbering, as more people are familiar with it.

So, I'm relatively new to these forums, and I'm relatively new to Lemmings. I had only first played it a little less than a year ago, and I quite enjoyed it. I have started an official Let's Play of it on my (very small) YT channel. And yes, I admit that I am NOT a good LPer. I will try to get better in the future. I have various other content, some of it also related to Lemmings. I have "music comparisons" that rank each version of a song from all the different ports of the game. I have done this for every song in ONML and three songs in L2 so far. I haven't done it for L1, as someone else has done this for that game. I hope you will enjoy my existing content and the content to come. I shall post a L1 LP video very shortly after this message. See you around! :D
