- Lemmings Chronicles Demo Version
-
- ------------------------------------------
- 1st U.S. release - 12.8.1994 version US1.0
- ------------------------------------------
-
- Welcome to the demo version of Lemmings Chronicles from
- DMA Design & Psygnosis. This demo contains 3 playable levels from
- this great new game.
-
- The full game has 90 levels ( + practice level & rolling demo levels ),
- more creatures, more great tunes, SVGA front end screens,
- animated 3D sequences, and much more.
-
- This demo is copyrighted freeware - you can copy it and pass it
- around, but we still own the copyright... Soooo, if you decide to
- include this demo in a shareware collection, please do not charge
- anything for it (other than reasonable media costs), and include this
- readme file.
-
- Sound
- -----
-
- This demo version supports SoundBlaster-compatible sound cards only. Use
- the install program to tell it your IRQ, DMA, etc.
-
- The full game adds Gravis UltraSound support, and the CD-ROM version uses
- high quality CD audio tracks.
-
- Memory
- ------
-
- We recommend 570K free DOS memory to run this demo with a sound card,
- and 510K without.
- In addition, you will need around 2MB of free EMS memory. To get this, you
- must have an expanded memory manager, such as EMM386.EXE, in your CONFIG.SYS.
-
- Playing The Game
- ----------------
-
- If you are a seasoned Lemmings player, you will find Chronicles a
- wee bit different at first, but you'll soon get the hang of it.
-
- If you have not played a Lemmings game before, beware ! You are about
- to get hooked like millions before you !
-
- Your aim is to get as many lemmings as possible from the entrance of each
- level to the exit. To do this, you apply skills such as walk, block, jump,
- etc. to individual lemmings by clicking on them with the mouse cursor.
-
- The control panel at the bottom of the screen shows the current skill.
- Additional skills can be gained by lemmings when they pick up tools - these
- are the red blocks which are scattered about the levels.
-
- A useful tip is that you can use the right mouse button to highlight
- individual lemmings, thus making them easier to pick out from the crowd.
- Clicking the right mouse button in mid-air will cause the next tool-carrying
- lemming to be highlighted. Clicking it directly on a lemming will highlight
- him.
-
- Also, the mole in the Egyptian area can be co-erced into doing your
- digging for you. Just place a few blocks in front of him to get him
- going.
-
- Action Replay
- -------------
-
- Lemmings Chronicles' special action replay feature is included in this
- demo. If you make a mistake in a level, you can replay your actions by
- pressing 'R'. Fast-forward & Paws can be used during the playback. You can
- interrupt it at any time to continue playing. You will then, however, be in
- Learner mode. In the full game, replays can be transferred to/from disk.
-
-
- We hope you enjoy this demo. If you do, why not treat yourself to a copy of
- the full game, available from all good software stores from December 1994.
