Loads of other game communities have been making these so I thought it'd be fun to do one for lemmings (and it was), got plenty of suggestions from the discord group too. If you want any explained I can.

My favourite things from each layer:

1 Custom levels
2 Unused Crystal trap
3 Direct Drop
4 Levitation after digging
5 Lemmings Returns
6 500 lost levels

...and I haven't heard of/seen anything below that layer!

If someone fancies explaining all of these, it'll be a fascinating read :lemcat:

I am also very curious about an explanation for all of these.

I haven't seen the format before, but I think I was able to deduce what it's about. :P

This seems to be what it's a reference to.

And in finding this and sharing it here, I've probably instantly moved it one or two tiers up the iceberg.

2D Lemmings: NeoLemmix (engine) | Lemmings Plus Series (level packs) | Doomsday Lemmings (level pack)
3D Lemmings: Loap (engine) | L3DEdit (level / graphics editor) | L3DUtils (replay / etc utility) | Lemmings Plus 3D (level pack)
Non-Lemmings: Commander Keen: Galaxy Reimagined (a Commander Keen fangame)

I don't know many of the topics mentioned in the iceberg (and I would like to know them all!), but I'm surprised that there is no mention of Martin Zurlinden and his Mazulems, the DHTML versions of Lemmings, the meaning of the 22934 level from L2 The Tribes, or the curious and happy story of Kieran Millar.

ooh some fun stuff to search for when I'm bored. There's a bunch of those I don't know about.  :)

I still think about those 500 lost levels every now and then. Why must Gary never let them see the light of day!? [yes I am obsessive and cry about things like this, even though it's probably pointless]
