Lemmings Quiz

[Clam]

I've long considered bringing this back, and with the new forum this seems like as good a time as any.

Firstly, the answer to the previous question:

In L2, there are (at least) two levels that require just one skill usage. Which two?

Outdoor 1: Pa-tent-ly Obvious
Egypt 4: Spiralling DNA

Both can be completed with one twister.


Now, an easy one to kick this off again:

Name the only level in (DOS/Amiga) Lemmings/Oh No/Xmas that uses quotation marks in the title.

[LemSteven]

Crazy 1 in ONML.  (Quote "That's a good level!")

How many different music compositions are there in the DOS version of Oh No! More Lemmings?

[The Doctor]

Twelve. Six for SoundBlaster, six for Tandy sound.

Which is the last level in Oh No! More Lemmings's Wild rating to use the rocks-and-crystal style?

EDIT: Clam's right. My resources were out of whack.

[Clam]

Eight. Four for SoundBlaster, four for Tandy sound.

Interesting... I've heard six different tracks in ONML, and I've never changed my settings.

Anyway, what's the etiquette regarding looking in the game to find the answers, or posting a question that is difficult to answer without checking (like yours, for example)?

[Dullstar]

There's nothing you can do to stop anyone.  It's Lemmingdelica, Wild 19.

How many combined graphic sets are there in Lemmings and OhNo, and what are they?

[Clam]

I presume you mean DOS version, and excluding the Xmas games? In that case, they are (using the Lemmix names):

Dirt
Fire
Marble
Pillar
Crystal
Brick
Rock
Snow
Bubble
Beast
Menacing
Awesome
Beast II
and possibly also the Prima Publishing level on the ONML bonus disk.

Which makes a total of 13, or 14 if you want to include that last one.


What is the greatest number of consecutive builderless levels in the original DOS games?
Trust me - you don't need to look this up. Think about it!

[GuyPerfect]

While I'm unable to answer strictly trivial questions regarding the DOS games and nothing but the DOS games, I do have some questions that could be asked.

Lemmings 2 contains a trap from one of DMA's other games. The game in question is actually responsible for the creation of Lemmings in the first place. What is the game's title?

[The Doctor]

Answer to Guy:
Walker.

Answer to Clam Spammer:
Wouldn't be the first few levels, would it? I'd guess six.

New question:
Who composed the music for the DOS version?

[Clam]

Wouldn't be the first few levels, would it? I'd guess six.

Very good

I'm afraid I don't know the answer to the next one.

[geoo]

Not entirely sure, but I think it'd be Tim Wright?

If all exits were replaced by entrances and vice versa, with the new exits being moved down onto the nearmost terrain directly below, which ONML level would be solvable without using a single skill?
(I think this one might be doable without looking up, but I don't mind if anyone does.)

[The Doctor]

Thunder-lemmings are go!

New Question:
If one Lemming builds a bridge, and one Lemming bashes it once it's finished, there's going to be either a short bridge or a bridge in two pieces.
However, due to the mechanics of the basher on the NES and GB, what percentage of bridge would be remaining?

[GuyPerfect]

In all honesty, questions that are akin to "How many pixels are there in all Mayhem levels of the DOS version of Lemmings?" probably shouldn't be asked.

A question that you probably cannot answer:

The "Okay!" voice when you give a Lemming a skill in Lemmings 3D was used in one other situation in a later Lemmings game. What was it?


A more reasonable question:

If you need to prevent Lemmings from walking off a cliff but don't have any blockers and there aren't any walls, how can you get them to turn around?

[The Doctor]

If you can't answer, don't post another question. Defeats the purpose of the format. If people need to do some research to get the answer, so be it.

But the answers to your questions:

1. In the Adventure of Lomax Lemming, at a checkpoint.

2. mine if there's enough terrain, then build so they don't go too far. If you only need to turn one Lemming, some versions let you build on a piece of metal terrain about two blocks, mine, then he'll turn.

Again, my question:
When you bash a bridge in Lemmings, you either get a shorter bridge or a hole through the middle.
However, on the NES the mechanics for the basher are different. What percentage of the bridge is left over when you bash it?
I'll make it multichoice, although there are enough YouTube videos so as to satisfy, and the ROM is on the Lemmings Archive.
A) - 25% - The basher takes out the majority
B) - 50% - The basher takes out half
C) - 100% - The basher destroys the whole bridge

[Dullstar]

C says that the basher did nothing.  If 100% of the bridge is still there, the bridge is not effected..

In all honesty, questions that are akin to "How many pixels are there in all Mayhem levels of the DOS version of Lemmings?" probably shouldn't be asked.

Agree here.

How many lemmings do you need to save in the first two levels of Fun?

[The Doctor]

2, one each.

While I agree that question a question like "How many pixels are in a Mayhem level of DOS LemmingS" is a bit strange, mine isn't like that. All you need to do is watch a couple of Youtubes or play the game yourself to get my answer. Seeing as research is so hard for any one to do, the answer is B because the bridge is twice Lemming head height.

So my next question will require no research at all.

How do you spell the word 'Lemmings'?
