Favourite Lemmings Music Version

[Pooty]

Another vote added to the Sega Master System's music.

I've put a link up to show different music types for each console. Maybe this site could change your vote.

It hasn't, though that's the first time i've ever heard the PC Engine's music. I perfer the SMS version, but the PC Engine seems to have a very interesting sound system. I was expecting it to use something like square waves.

I wonder what system the "other" vote is?

Well, one notable absence on the list above is the Atari ST version, it, Amiga and DOS being the first 3 ports of Lemmings released.  And remember, Lemmings have been ported to just about every system on the planet.  Just off top of my head, here're a bunch of systems not mentioned in the list:

• Commodore 64
• Phillips CD-I
• there's a CD-ROM version of Lemmings for DOS that actually has the music as audio tracks in the CD (and I don't mean mere recordings of the adlib/TGA music, but music specially made for the CD version).
• Windows (you've heard this if you heard the MIDI versions of Lemmings music from the XXXLemmus styles for Cheapo)
• Macintosh
• Nintendo (as in the old 8-bit NES/Famicom, not Super Nintendo)
• Acorn Archimedes

Granted, I haven't heard the music on many of these systems listed above, so some of them might be very similar to the ones listed in the poll.

I'm interested as to what the tracks are from Cheapo, mind you they have also been copied to "Copycat Lemmings" I've given the link below. The copycat clone is at the bottom of this page.

Sorry, I was not being clear.  I don't mean the MIDIs that came with Cheapo/Copycat Lemmings.

There were a set of styles made for Cheapo that were essentially clones of the styles in original Lemmings, with names ending with "Lemmus" (eg. FireLemmus for the "Hell" style, CrystalLemmus, etc.).  The music in all those styles are the MIDI version of Lemmings music from the Windows port.  That's what I was referring to.

The one you've titled "Take Good Care Of My Lemmings" is based on "Pachelbel's Canon".

HE mislabeled it?  I don't know if he runs the site...  maybe he doesn't!!!

[Minim]

The answer is.. I don't! I didn't create the site, I came here to put the link up instead.

[Dullstar]

Don't we have some newer members who might be interested in this?

On topic, though, I change my vote to "Amiga."  If you haven't noticed, the poll is configured so you can change it.

AdLib or Tandy sound, danparker?

Actually, I'm not really sure.

Sorry about the thread resurrection; I just wanted to add that the Mac version has very similar music to the Amiga (to the point that I can only tell the difference because I've heard it all a million times), and the PS1 version has good CD-quality music on it, which sounds like it's actually been played with instruments. But it's not as good!

The Commodore 64 music is my favourite. If your not sure what it sounds like theres a video with some on here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaDW6OU-57c&feature=related

Hey, I still haven't voted in this one.

I grew up with the DOS version (VGA), so that's the only one I really know. The Amiga version may be "better" in terms of sound quality or whatever, but to me it just sounds off. So DOS it is.
