I've done Hail 2 with 5 skills and Hail 6 with 0 skills. Are there any more hail levels completed yet?

You're not being very helpful Dullstar. ><img src=" title="Angry" class="smiley" /> You can't remember how many skills you wasted on the first level. Do this one again, and do the second one as well.

Actually, it's that annoyance known as the screen transitioning to the "You Beat the Level" screen before you can go to check how many you used. :P
I estimated that number.

Holiday Lemmings 1991:
Level 1:  10 skills, 100%.  8 or 9 may be possible, but I doubt it.
Level 2:  11 skills, loses 2 lemmings (blocker), improvable maybe
Holiday Lemmings 1992:
Level 1:  1 skill
Level 2:  1 skill

Requests other person to finish up 1992.

Well done geoo for improving on Wild 4 :thumbsup:

Hail 2 can be done with 4 - replay attached.

For the first two levels of Xmas 1991, I get 8 and 9 respectively. The Xmas 1992 levels look quite tiresome so I'll leave them for now :P

Blitz 13 only needs 11 skills.  I've attached the replay but really, either you miscounted or overlooked something really simple.

(By the way, you haven't updated Blitz 9 to 20 yet.)

When I first read this I thought you meant Blitz levels 9 - 20.  :XD:

I've updated it now. And, yes, I missed that...

I'll save you the trouble. :P  Here's what I got:

1: 1
2: 1
3: 17
4: 14

I attached replays for 3 and 4.

Second half of Frost:

9: 3
10: 5
11: 3
12: 6
13: 1
14: 5
15: 5
16: 5

Replays for 10 and 14 attached, mainly to demonstrate that the timing works out (solution-wise neither have anything new you haven't seen before).  Remember for Frost 10 to fix the entrances in Lemmix before viewing the replay (which you probably want to watch the whole thing in fast-forward).

I have another issue I'm afraid. The Amiga version of Flurry 8 has the level "Clouds of Lemmings" and the DOS version and the Lemmix clone of Flurry 8 has "Vacation in Gemland". I just want to check to see which one is allowed.

All of the results we've been reporting assumes DOS Lemmings/Lemmix not Amiga, so obviously we are using "Vacation in Gemland".  A totally separate list of results would be needed for Amiga Lemmings.  Not only are there differences in game mechanics, but some levels have different numbers like % required to save, number of skills given, etc.

I've done Hail 1 with 5 skills and Hail 4 with 6 skills. ccexplore has already said that he's done Hail 3 with 23.

Hail 4 with 6 skills.

I've just done it with 4. :)

Hail 9 - 11 skills. Annoyingly I was a single pixel away from doing it in 10. ><img src=" title="Angry" class="smiley" />
Hail 10 - 6. Improved from earlier.
Hail 11 - 7
Hail 12 - 6
Hail 13 - 6
Hail 15 - 5. Replay attached.
Hail 16 - 11

By the way, how do you save replays in Lemmix? I can't figure it out. Never mind. Just done it.

Thanks. You must have posted while I was editing. I've done it now. :)
