- Ever wanted to know how to play lemings?
-
- The object of the game is to guide the lemmings which appear at the start of
- each level to the exit door, although this is not always easy, as I am a
- real sadistic b**t*rd and have put all sorts of traps in their way which
- tend to be slightly fatal for the lemings. In order to guide the lemings
- past such immense dangers you may ask a leming to perform a particular task
- (these are outlined below). To select a task click on its icon so that the
- bar below it lights up, then move the pointer into the playing area and
- click on the leming that you wish to perform the task (the nearest leming to
- the pointer is always selected and it has a purple arrow above its head).
- There are seven tasks that the lemings are capable of performing :
- parachute, bash, stop, dig, explode, climb and bridge, the eighth icon
- (nuke) when double clicked on will destroy all the lemings which remain on
- the screen.
-
- Parachutists : Parachutists do not die when they drop a long distance onto
- the ground.
-
- Bashers : These bash horizontal tunnels through rock.
-
- Stoppers : These will stop all the other lemings from going past them.
-
- Diggers : Diggers dig vertical shafts through rock.
-
- Exploders : Guess what, yes you're right, these explode, any leming can
- be made to explode at any time (even while performing other
- tasks!).
-
- Climbers : These lemings climb up vertical walls.
-
- Bridgers : These lemings build diagonal bridges, they will stop building
- after a certain amount of time, but another leming can build
- a second bridge on the end of the first if it is not long enough.
-
- To gain entry to the next level you must save a certain percentage of the
- lemings.
-
- You may only leave a level when all the lemings are either killed or saved.
- (Nuke can be used to quit a level).
-
- White blocks with arrows on may only be bashed through in the direction
- indicated by the arrows.
-
- While playing the game you will discover a variety of objects, it is worth
- experimenting with them.
-
-
-
- If you have any problems,queries, or suggestions as to how Lemings could be
- improved, feel free to write me at -

- Please note : This game is not meant to be a conversion of Psygnosis's
- Lemmings, however if you like this then I recomend you buy the official
- version (if and when it is released), I havn't seen it but it should be
- good.
