Description: This
is the first in the popular series of Lemmings the
dos version came out alot earlier than 1995 but
they then later on made a windows version with better
graphics and interface and also comes with an addon
called " Oh No More Lemmings! ". This
game rocks, you control these little furry critters
across a map trying to get them to the exit or "
safety " by making then do certain tasks like
bashing, bricklaying, stoppers and many other commands
that come in useful. Here is a more detailed decription
of the lemmings actions...
Walker :- This is the original
mode all lemmings start in, in which they quite
happily and obliviously walk in the direction they
are facing, falling over any chasm they come across
and turning at any wall they encounter.
Climber :- Acts in the same
way as a walker, except when a wall is
encountered though he/she will attempt to climb
it, only failing if an
overhang prevents he/she from continuing in which
case they fall from this height. After a succesful
climb he/she returns to normal walking mode until
another wall is encountered.
Floater :- In this mode a
lemming who has the misfortune to fall from a cliff
will open his trusty concealed Omni-Umbrella and
float safely to earth with no ill-effects from any
height.
Athlete :- This is the mode
of a lemming who is both climber and Floater.
Blocker :- These are lemmings
who turn round approaching lemmings, they are stationary
and nothing bar sacrificing them (see Exploder)
or removing the ground from beneath their feet can
stop them from their duty.
Builder :- This lemming builds
a bridge at an angle upwards in the
direction of movement. Only a few steps of this
bridge are constructed by any builder at any time,
after these steps have been built the lemming returns
to his/hers permanent mode.
(ie walker/climber/floater/athlete)
Basher :- A horizontal tunnel
is dug by this lemming, in the direction of motion.
Note :- The lemming only bashes as long as their
is some ground in front of him/her, returning to
his/her permanent mode when no ground is present.
Miner :- A diagonal tunnel
is dug downwards in the direction of motion, again
if no ground is present then the lemming will stop
mining and return to his/her permanent mode.
Digger :- A vertical tunnel
is dug through the ground below the lemming, as
before the lemming returns to his/her permanent
mode when open space is detected beneath he/she.
Exploder :- There are times
when a lemming must lay down his/her life for their
nation, this is the mode in which it is done, through
sacrificing themselves they may pave the way through
an obstacle by blowing away part of the ground around
them.
there are plenty of levels to
complete about 100 in the first one and then after
that there is another 117 in the addon so with the
levels getting progressively harder you will never
get bored! A definite worth download. NOTE: Its REALLY
fun nuking them all, go ahead and try it sometime
