I have played each Lemmings game, as well as the NES version of Lemmings, and knowing how many pixels of a bridge a Basher takes out would require me to download--again, illegally--the game and try it out.
If you've played it, you wouldn't have forgotten the tile-based mechanics. Since a bridge is two tiles high, a Lemming bashing through it would take out one tile (being one tile high themselves).
If I never played the game that'd be one thing, as I shouldn't be expected to have a clue to any questions asked about it
If I may paraphrase, that means that you wouldn't know for the sake of argument about something. I think we can generally agree that given such a scenario, that would be the basic argument. So if you didn't know, there are two options as I see it.
- Find out what the answer is somehow (not necessarily illegal: you could watch one of the many YouTube videos).
- Concede that you don't know the answer, and let someone else answer.
I don't think you did either of these. Instead, you said that a question like mine shouldn't be asked and changed the question to one of your own. I hold this is unfair behaviour, because someone else may have known the answer and could make their own question.
Any assumption that a question refers to a specific version of a game is indeed unfair. If a question relates to a particular version, it should be stated in the question itself.
Well, we agree there then.
Sliders can indeed stop Runners from leaping gaps. They can also make a Lemming turn around if the wall doesn't go all the way to the ground, whereas a Floater will keep walking in the same direction.
Just like my question was about one version, your question is about one game. There is a gap, but it's fundamentally the same idea as they are two releases.
The question requires only a fundamental knowledge of any version of Lemmings 2; no pixels counted.
The GameBoy version has no slider. Again, my question requires no pixel counting.
I don't happen to know what the Amiga Classic Lemming says when he falls off the arc.
That's cool. No worries, eh?
I have no intention of complaining about it, as it's not something I'll need to bust out a calculator and magnifying glass to determine.
That compound sentence was composed to contradictory phrases. Also, you don't need to use a calculator and magnifying glass to listen to something.
I'm also not willing to break the law in order to find out, so I'll let someone else answer. Now that's using my BRAINS.
Absolutely correct, that is indeed the ideal solution (to not break the law). That is using your brains, I concur. We should remove all the downloads of all the Lemmings games from the Lemmings Archive. We could do as most other websites do, and only offer the distributable trial versions.
In addition, there's other options for researching an answer. They may produce results, they may not produce results. Still, Google doesn't exist just to make web browsers and provide email addresses to Nigerian scam artists.
You know, I don't usually like to be argumentative and I apologise for my behaviour in my previous post. However, it still occurs to me that sweeping my question away was still unfair, as somebody else could have answered. So you don't like the question, I can understand. You know what that means, of course.
Just don't answer it.
I still want to know if anyone can answer the current question: "In DOS Lemmings 3, the Classic Lemming cries "Oh no!" when he falls off the Ark. In Amiga Lemmings 3, he says something else. What does he say?" I'll give a clue: The Shadow tribe says it as they jump out of the Ark in the Amiga introduction video. This video can be seen on YouTube. I think Lemmy556 posted it.
Someone may know. I'm going to let them answer it. Then they can ask their question. That's how it works.
