I'm currently trying to do the level 'madness in the method' on Oh no more lemmings and when I go back to 'replay' my actions to correct the mistake, I find there are errors and the replay is inaccurate. For example, at the bit where a lemming turns around when the basher is bashing and immediately becomes a miner, the replay has it that the basher starts mining. I had this in 'the race against clichés' as well where, instead of all of the lemmings pointing in a particular direction when they become climbers the replay had some of them climbing the wrong direction. Has anyone experienced this on this programme, and do other lemmings engines such as neolemmix etc have this same issue? It's really frustrating not being able to find the point in the game where I messed up.

Cheapo also had some notorious replay glitches (in particular, on multi-entrance levels, when you replayed then the next lemming would come out of the wrong entrance) but NeoLemmix doesn't have anything like that, its replays work fine.

I'll have to check it out :)

I also have issues with fast forward on windows lemmings - when I press it it fast forwards about 1 minute every second which makes it useless  :(

Yes, both are known bugs in Lemmings for Windows 95.

Its fast-forward relies on slow 90's machines. That fast-forward is unusuable on modern machines. And the its replay system has those desynching problems.

My computer is pretty old and not very fast (in fact lemmings sometimes crashes it!) But I can kinda see that..
