- Getting thru level 3 isn't too hard once you know a couple of tricks from
- the list that was posted a couple of weeks ago. Namely,
- (1) a blocker can be turned into a walker by digging the ground
- out from under him.
- (2) stop a digger by telling him to build.
- (3) turn a lemming around by digging diagonally and then telling him
- to build. He'll turn around after building 1 or 2 steps.
- (4) use the cursor keys to control the function of the mouse. It's
- quicker than using the mouse to select from the menu. (for me
- anyway)
-
- As you approach the wall halfway thru, turn the second lemming into a
- blocker. You only need one to complete the rest. Free him later with
- a horizontal digger. (you can't blow him up cuz you need 100%)
-
- With lemming number one most of it should be pretty obvious: dig thru
- the wall; stop digging; build up to ceiling (you have to be *really*
- high on the screen); at this point, I put an extra layer on the stair case
- because I had problems keeping it connected when I started to dig; dig
- horizontally thru the rock; turn lemming into a floater!; with a little
- luck (if you were high enough on the screen) you will just barely land
- on the ground <maybe you can build from the end of the tunnel just to
- be sure>; since the rest of your lemmings can't float, turn the lemming
- around and build a long stairway back to the tunnel (keep building 'til
- you run into something). That's about it.
-
- 'course level 3 was easy compared to level 4! :)
-
- Cheers. Bill.
-
- P.S. IMHO, this is a much better demo than the first one. (much more
- challenging; not so tedious)
