No, Lemmy. Not Taxing 4 from the original Lemmings game, but the Taxing 4 of TOLC.

Too bad, I'm not at home to play the game again... >:( I'll help you out this week-end (until you solved the level or someone else would give the solution to you). A screenshot of the level can also help me to remember the solution too.

Suggestions to evaarties : it would be nice to do the solutions for the alternate demos of Oh no! More Lemmings : "The Official Lemming Companion" and "Save The Lemmings".

I'm certainly gonna do that :). For now this is my list:

- finish my new website, see http://lemmings.isamedia.org/index.php?topic=215.msg4452;topicseen#new
- finish 3D Lemmings
- finish Lemmings Revolution
- finish the demo's floating around

I don't have any screenshots of the level, but remember "Tightrope City": well, "Watch Your Step!" is almost the same level, but made with bricks, and with a small gap in its tiny floor. There are two blockers and only two brigdes... What should I do to cross that breach? I assume the solution, save this point, is exactly the same as in "Tightrope City".

Hope someone can solve it before evaarties make the walkthrough...  :laugh:

(P.S. By the way, thank you for your walkthroughs, evaarties! You helped me a lot with the Highland Tribe!)

Ok, yeah. I remember the level. Yeah, the solution is quite similar to "Tightrope city".

Make the fourth lemming a blocker right when he lands from the trapdoor. When the first Lemming reaches the "gap", make him a builder. Then, make the third lemming a blocker so that, when the builder will end building, the top of the stair will be right above the blocker's head for the lemmings to pass. With the second lemming, just build to the exit.

I don't remember if you also get some bashers, but if you have some, you can give them to the first lemmings that are coming to the exit, passing the blocker, to slow them down.

I started playing "Save the Lemmings" and I noticed some difference in graphics. The attachment shows 2 bars, the upper one is for standard PC's, the second one shows when you play in High Performance PC's. Which one do you prefer to see on my site?

PS Does someone know what all the differences are between the PC choices on DOS Lemmings?

High Performance PCs mode only changes the skills bar (like you have shown) and the text fonts right above it (OUT: IN: and so on...). It also allows few more seconds when the time limit reaches 0 because of the fade out. In fact, High Performance PCs mode can be used for every Dos Lemmings games by using Dosbox 0.70 and above versions.

However, the only "thing" is that the color palette changes depending of the level style which may give something not beautiful. Try to do a screenshot using Dosbox with CTRL+F5 (not with Print Screen Key) and you'll get a skill bar but with better alternate colors. Use this one.

I see, but I do not understand the last part you are saying.

Gives the choice 'High performance PC' different color palettes for the skill bar per level, or do you mean something different?
