So overall it's a good job, thanks for the several hours of nostalgic fun over the last couple of days. Turns out the program works well in Wine. It took some getting used to instant bombers, of course, and to the reduced number of lemmings in most levels. And it's really nice to be able to see where your skills are going to end up, with those projection thingies. And rewind of course - there's a lot of levels like Save Me where I wouldn't have the patience to restart the level if I messed up the pixel-perfect timing. I'm getting too old for that shiz.

I can't quite get used to the builder physics, though. I expect a builder not to turn around when they hit their 'chest' - only if they hit their head or their feet. I'd noticed it before that, but this really screwed me up on Lemmings' Ark, where I was trying to build up into a miner tunnel from a basher tunnel. I watched a couple of videos from the Genesis version which showed that you could definitely do this. I had to watch another video that actually used NeoLemmix to realize that you can make the basher stop if you get the height of the tunnel exactly right. Builders also caused me trouble on "Out away from the tune" (the SING SING SING level)

Anyway, I have three talismans that i haven't completed yet, any help would be appreciated~ They are Lemtris - I think you have to mine down a bridge but I haven't constructed a solution; Come On Over to my Place - I can't work out how to get a builder going left and turn it around again, but I'm suspecting that's not it nvm i just worked it out; and I am AT - which... i have absolutely no idea.

The other is The Great Lemming Caper - I already have the solution memorized long ago, so this felt very out of place in the final category, and the talisman is "don't use blockers". But what is the solution WITH blockers? I think I found a possibility but I don't know what was intended.

I also found the last category a little strange in general because there are a lot of Genesis levels which have very little actual terrain - a lot are like little mazes made out of strings and poles. Partly because I'm not as familiar with them, it had a bit of a different vibe. The sega level also stands out as too easy. I think a couple more builder-focused levels might be OK, too, if only to train newbies at how many bridges you'll need - I know ppl here don't like them though. But generally you've got a better progression than the originals.

I also kind of like how you've taken out some of the backroutes, but I would note that I don't think "If at first you don't succeed" had water in it - like I'm fairly sure you should be able to get across the gap there with three bridges, but with the water it takes four. The final level "Fall and no life part two" has one too few miners compared to the original, assuming that's the same deal?

BTW i replaced the onml music with the ones from the mac version, because for some reason although the amiga lemmings music is the same as the mac, the onml music is remixed and i like the mac versions much better. Can upload a zip if anyone wants them.

I think I'm just passing by this time I'm afraid, but I wanted to stop by and say hi. I was browsing speedrun.com and thought I could do better than the posted run of Fun. Turns out I'm out of practice and botched a few levels quite badly, coming in with a time of 47 min. My usual Mac strategy of scumming the shift key to speed up the end of the level doesn't work on Dos unfortunately. Also I had a lot if trouble working out how to record the video and add a timestamp to it. Anyone who knows what they're doing, I'd appreciate the help. Tbh I'm probably not going to try so much more, I'd rather go back to playing Starcraft at the moment.

But while I'm here, well... are there any particularly cool levels that I just HAVE to check out?


I also did a quick search on the app store and found out that someone released a Lemmings game on iOS back in 2018. What do you guys think of that? I'm sure this isn't the first that you've discussed it but i don't really want to go searching through the forum right now. Honestly it just seems to be a hellish mess of microtransactions but I'm tempted to give it a download and see.




Anyway i hope everyone is ok during the pandemic. I myself quit my shitty job and came back to the uk from japan.

Oh yeah and the last time i posted on here i was wanting to transcribe the lemmings game book. I never got around to finishing it. But i could give it a shot if there's enough interest and i have the time.

I got distracted doing something and ended up here. It's probably been a couple of years since I was last on here. How's everything going? I don't know if I can really stick around – my free time is taken up with other stuff at the moment and I've forgotten how to run Lemmings on my computer (or in fact, I don't think I've ever run it on this machine).

Any news?

I'm getting bored of not being able to view replays, especially since they're all that's been posted recently. Anyone have any bright ideas for how to get me able to run it on a mac? It's just that simon suggested Wine but while that's runnable on mac, it's really for linux geeks, by which I mean to install it you have to understand a lot of command line jargon that I simply don't understand and you also must have several spare hours in which to perform the installation, or something.

And the "parallels" emulator program won't load properly – it gets to the login screen and then when I try to click anything it doesn't recognise it or something. I realise i should probably ask my dad about this or something, since he's the one who actually tried to install the damn thing (also, it's taking up >10 GB of my 100 GB hard drive, which is quite a large proportion for something that doesn't work).

Argh.

Just finished Genesis Lemmings in full for the first time.

And discovered what I think is a backroute for Present 30 (which you probably know already ) and a spelling mistake in the screen that comes after Mayhem 30. both attached.

How about you? Completed any Lemmings games recently? Challenges?

Anyone ever thought about modding Lemmings 2 to use the original set of 8 skills (besides the classic levels that already do, of course)? Of course, it might not be possible for all of the levels... but maybe we could consider it as a theoretical challenge?

Did the genesis version of lemmings come before or after ONML? I'm just wondering when the levels that are common to both were first invented.

Also wondering about the "Official Companion" demo that has been mentioned on here – it has a level called "Dolly Dimple?", which is a simpler version of that level in the golden pipe/bubble tileset; was this before or after the official ONML release?
