Mini Review:
The first thing you notice upon loading is the music, it's all different, of course being an official Atari release but not official Lemming release, meaning everything bar the gameplay had to be changed, but the game itself is essentially Lemmings all bar the name, anyway back to the music, tracks include 'flight of the bumble bee' and other classical pieces, and whilst they are quite good in themselves it would have been good to compare to the originals. The graphics considering the technology it's being played on are quite good, colourful, although the animations are very basic of course seemingly moving a frame a second, but it's very impressive with the amount of Lemmings being displayed on-screen at once, I've only seen 60 so far but I've been informed it's up 80 on some levels! All in all it's a very good effort, being pretty playable even with the keyboard, and most of the levels are recognisable too!

Fact: There was also a Brundles Editor released allowing design and saving of your own levels.

Lemmings running on iphone!

2011-02-08T20:52:00.005Z

Last June, Aaron Ardiri ported his own PalmOS version of Lemmings to iPhone, webOS, Mac, Linux, and Windows in about 35 hours. Here's a video of the iPhone version in action.

Though sadly this will be the closest you will get to actually playing it, as Sony the copyright holders sent the developer a ceast and disist order meaning all development stopped immediately, no surprise at all really with this one, it's still an active IP, and even releasing it for free on the app store wouldnt hold any weight with Sony!

Whilst it's graphically spot on the original, the clumsy touchscreen 'finger' controls wouldn't be fine enough without a stylus, I think the Nintendo DS version is safe for a while as the best unofficial version out there!

It's also unclear an US version of the Amiga version ever got release as no evidence to say otherwise has surfaced as yet.

Added some Youtube videos of different versions of Lemmings on each respective page, so you can see for yourselves how they compare.

More will follow...

Wow an update!

2011-02-05T09:52:00.007Z

Yes i know its been a long time since the last update! Hey life goes on I suppose....but I guess you kinda knew this wasn't a news site, just a Lemmings ports resource site!

But anyway I'm hoping to add missing box and media/screen shots to complete whats missing, along with more comparisons this year.

Here's whats been added today;

Lemmings Arcade

Have added my thoughts on the Arcade version of Lemmings, along with exclusive pictures you wont find anywhere including the two player mode and spritesheets!

New Lemmings Blog DS Level!

2009-11-01T10:27:00.005Z

I've finally gotten around to tinkering around making new levels for the DS version of Lemmings, this one I've added today is called Lem To A Tee and it's a special Lemmings Blog level, i would say its a medium difficulty level, so download and have a go!

I've also updated the Xmas Winter Walkabout level, as some of you may have noticed there was a error in the level meaning you had to rescue 145% of all lemmings, a simply impossible task!

The updates have been added to the DS Levels page here.

Finally, I've just noticed the site has sometime in the last couple of days gone through the 10,000 barrier! Thanks for continuing to visit the site!

Hi Lemming fanatics! I've added some new pictures to the blog;
First up is the very rare FM Towns version of Lemmings and Lemmings 2, these shots were taken from ebay auctions as its the only place I've seen them, though at the silly prices (£120+) they are listed at I think they will be staying there a while!

Next up is the Amstrad CPC 6128 Disk version of Lemmings, pretty hard to find and valued slightly higher than the cassette version at around £10-£15, with only a few turning up each year.

Lastly tonight I've found a title that I didn't know existed, a Japanese version of Lomax on the PS1! I've only found a small cover art for now.

Ways to play Lemmings 1,2,3....

2009-05-02T09:04:00.003+01:00

As well as playing these classics games on their original systems they were written for, most people tend to flog old hardware in favour of new and and such any new audience of this classic game dwindles....although of course Team 17 updated the game for release on the Sony Playstation 2, 3 and PSP, the best way to play Lemmings still is with the original versions, we have a brief guide to show what new systems can emulate the old systems to play the original Lemmings on....

PC/Mac/Linux - I won't go into much detail here because as you would expect most and if not all the classic systems can be emulated on these platforms.
Amiga/Atari ST - Of course already home to the original version there are also various emulators available for these systems for some of the lower CPU systems.

Homebrew handhelds - GP32 / GP2X / Pandora / Wiz / A-320 / Caanoo
GP32 - Emulators for - Amstrad CPC / C64 / Spectrum / Atari Lynx / Atari ST / Gameboy / Gameboy Color / GBA / Game Gear / Master System / Megadrive / NES / SNES...
Gp2X - Emulators for - (as Gp32) plus Sam Coupe, PC Engine CD, limited Amiga, PC DOS, PS1...
A-320 - Emulators for - Gameboy / NES / SNES / Megadrive - more expected probably same as GP2X.
Wiz- Emulators for - (as Gp2X) plus full speed Amiga, PS1....
Pandora - Emulators for - (as Wiz)
Caanoo - Emulators for - (as Wiz)

Commercial Handhelds - Gizmondo / GBA / Nintendo DS / PSP
Gizmondo - Emulators for - (as Gp2X)
GBA - Emulators for - Gameboy / Gameboy Color / Game Gear / Master System / NES / PC Engine CD / Spectrum / SNES........plus homebrew version.
Nintendo DS - Emulators for - (as GBA) plus Amstrad CPC / C64 / Megadrive..........plus THE best homebrew version ever!
Sony PSP - Emulators for - (as GP2X)
iPhone/Ipod Touch - Emulators for - Gameboy / Gameboy Color / GBA / Megadrive / NES / PC Engine CD / Limited PS1...

Commercial Consoles - Dreamcast / PS2 / Xbox / Wii
Sega Dreamcast - Emulators for - Amstrad CPC / C64 / Spectrum / Amiga 500/ Atari Lynx / Atari ST / GB / GBC / GBA / Game Gear / Master System / Megadrive / NES / SNES / PC DOS / PC Engine CD...
Sega Saturn - Emulators for - Atari Lynx / Gameboy / Master System / SNES...
Microsoft Xbox- Emulators for - (as Dreamcast) plus - PS1 / X68000....
Nintendo Gamecube - Emulators for - GB / GBC / GBA / Master System / Game Gear / Megadrive / NES / SNES...
Nintendo Wii - Emulators for (as Gamecube) plus - Amiga / Atari Lynx / C64 / Spectrum....
Sony PS2 - Emulators for - (as Dreamcast) minus - Lynx...
Sony PS3 - Emulators for - Amiga 500/1200/ Atari Lynx / GB / GBC / GBA / Game Gear / Master System / Megadrive / NES / SNES / PC Engine CD...and more will follow....

All have various degree's of ease of getting emulators to work on them, some need flash cards, others burning files to a CD/DVD or putting files onto a SD card, some even need modding (i.e soldering a chip into the machine!), your best bet is to google emulation on the system you want to to get started...
