Glad you liked it - I used to have all the games on floppy discs running under Windows 3.1 (like people will remember that version

) I keep meaning to dig em out and try compatability mode in XP

I remember at junior school we would always hog the pc at lunchtime and breaks to have another go on it,

It's a very addictive game!

Off for another blast on it now!

Ah, lemmings, wonderful game

I also used to play it on win 3.1, along with the gameboy

So addictive

Works fine on 64k isdn, so should be alright on 56k as well.

edit: wtf, it needs a 500mhz machine?
and you used to be able to play it on the mastersystem (4mhz)....

Great game anyway though

Ahhh yes, memories. It became a right sport at my primary school. It even caused a punch up once between me and a mate...

hell yeah junior school... 1990, 91 was it?

((points) and im what 5 years older than him!)

now if you can also put dynablaster and gauntlet II onto a webpage and make it so you can have those epic 4 and 5 player games over the net, everything will have to be delivered to the house, and a toilet installed in place of the computer chair...

/feeling kind of lost amongst all these people who were already using IBMs when lemmings was out, not only that but IBMs fast enough to play it - what, were you made of money?

I Had one at home DX66 with 16mb of ram and a twin hard drive 800 and 850 mb - I still have this PC - contents have changed tho!!!!!

I didn't play it much at home but at work - we had a real quick one there DX4 100 with 32mb of memory and a hard drive that was over a gig !!!!! Playing games on a work PC

Not that anyone does that these days
