The Apple Computer Level

[Ron_Stard]

I don't know if this video goes here, but I have found this demo level for the Apple version of Lemmings. Did you already know of it?

Are you kidding me?! You can clear this without any skills?! THATS INSANE!!!!!

[Leo]

This one also (level 1). You don't even have any skill on that level.

There are other official levels you can solve with no skills... mind you, not all are intentionally so

[Leo]

I don't know any official level that can be solved just by itself (or without skills, if you better like that expression). Can you tell us which levels you talking about?

[Clam]

There are two:

• Wild 9 (Ice Station Lemming), which can be backrouted using the nuke percentage glitch.
• Hail 6 (Surprise Package?), where you use nuke to reach the exit, gives a blocker but it isn't needed.

They are the zeros in the table

[mobius]

don't forget the broken version of We all fall down (on Windows Lemmings 95) 

in it, the splat height is incorrect so they literally just all fall down and go merrily on to the exit. This is a "true" do nothing because you don't even need to press any buttons at all. 

(...for fun and tricky at least, I'd image in Taxing you'd run out of time if you don't change the RR)

EDIT: oops, I didn't realize this was just about the 'Apple levels' so you already knew that..

My Lemmings Official Companion says there is a level only in the Macintosh version named Going Their Separate Ways (replaces All the 6's).

That one:



What with this?

[Pooty]

You mean why did they replace "All the 6's" with this level? I'm assuming it has something to do with the number 666 being linked to some unholy entity (the devil, perhaps?). Some versions either removed this level (e.g. PlayStation, Windows 95) or replaced it (e.g. Macintosh, SNES).

There's some information on getting Going Their Separate Ways to work in the MS-DOS version of Lemmings over on The Lemnet Chronicles, if that's of any interest to anyone.

[Leo]

I am somewhat confused with "Windows Lemmings" explanation how to use "Going their separate ways". I should replace level file for "All the 6's" with this new one. There is file for "All the 6's", but there isn't that level available in the game. I can use both, "Going their separate ways" and "All the 6's", if I replace some other level file with one of these two. But, why there isn't "All the 6's" in the game if level file is included? Is it hidden level? Can I do something to activate that level?

[Pooty]

Indeed. These instructions seem to be for the Windows Lemmings that came with Lemmings Paintball. Perhaps that version didn't skip "All the 6's"? I'd check, but unfortunately, I don't have Lemmings Paintball.

[Clam]

Back on topic: it turns out the Apple level has been discussed on the forum before. There's even a download for CustLemm/Lemmix (I just added instructions to make it work in Lemmix ).


Back off topic: There's a DOS/Lemmix version of Going Their Separate Ways (download) on the Lemmings File Portal. It's a little different to the one on Lemnet Chronicles, but functionally the same. It looks like the Lemnet one was manually rebuilt (the text on the site suggests as much), whereas IIRC the one on the portal was properly extracted from the game.

In Windows Lemmings, there is a unused image "All the 6's" when you load it from the Level Selector. Suggesting it would be like the other ports.
