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.

Class link mate!

I used to love lemmings on the Amiga!

oh thats just f***ing great

how am i supposed to get off the internet and do my paper-based college work now, knowing that i have one of my favourite games from the old 16 bit atari days loaded in the other firefox tab? especially as it's got the spot-on oldskool 16 colour graphics

bastard!






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

I'm still using a 100mhz processor

I'm using an athlon xp1600 and I'm still getting jerks.. something's seriously wrong with that coding
Great game anyway though

Another youngster - I played it for the first time as a PC mag demo version and I was 28

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

Karl.

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?
