Because we're approaching Christmas, why not reviewing the Holiday Lemmings levels? :D

Here I start:

Xmas Lemmings 1991

Merry Christmas Mr Lemming



Number of Lemmings: 50
50% to be saved
Release rate: 40
Time: 5 minutes
Skills: 20 of each

Good: Awesome landscape and a nice way to introduce the Holiday Lemmings!
Bad: Easy! Why only 50%?

EDIT: Image changed! Thanks Mindless! :P

Good idea Dragonslover :)

It does, however, depressingly remind me that I lost a recent ebay bid for Holiday Lemmings 93' and 94 :(

Don't need to buy them, they're free!

Holiday Lemmings 1993
Holiday Lemmings 1994

Just click on "Télécharger" than on "cliquez ici"! Enjoy!

Yeah, that will do, thanks :). I'm just a bit of a collector, and it was in great condition :'(

Just one thing regarding the reviews: Since we're doing the screenshots ourselves, I feel it's a bad idea to show any hints or the actual solution. It does mean potential spoilers for those not at the levels yet, and it would be more appropriate to see the level in it's unbashed/unmined/unbombed form. Why not do them before the trapdoors have even opened, ala the Custlemm level list game?

Oh, I see what you mean.

I took the pictures from "The Lemmings Solution" website. I remember that we did the complete same thing when doing the Lemmings Level List Game. The thing is, that I can't take screenshots of the levels, I don't have time. I don't have my own computer yet (but, I'll get is soon but without Internet). I prefer taking the screens and put them there. But if you disagree, than just go for yours! Me, I can't! :-/

^^

Awesome Midless! Thanks a lot! I changed the image.

Ah, the powers of automation.  Yeah, I've got a screenshot maker program, but it still runs on uncompressed graphics files and is not at all user-friendly...  making it so is my next priority. Unfortuatly, next week is "Finals Week" at school, so I'm kind'a busy studying this week, so it may be a bit before I have time to finish it.

Here's the next one:

Christmas Bonus



Number of Lemmings: 50

Release rate: 40
Time: 5 minutes
Skills: 20 of each

Good: Nice landscape again. Nothing much to say!
Bad: Still there, easy level.

EDIT: I forgot the skills!

Hellooo? There's someone here? Nobody wants to participate? :-/

I'll participate here... after finals.

Ack, I'd do level3/4, but I forgot to print screen the details. Does anyone know a page with the passwords for this?

Lemmings HQ has them.

Thanks Tseug :)

Time waits for no lemming



Number of Lemmings: 50
90% to be saved
Release rate: 1
Time: 4 minutes
Skills: 1 Climber, 10 Floaters, 2 blockers, 2 builders, 2 bashers, 1 digger

Good: A nice showcase of one of the earlier ONML levels. It's challenging, and the solution isn't obvious. Great scenery too.

Bad: Nothing much really, perhaps a little too easy to perform the solution.

Why do the last two reviews have no skills?

Apologies, edited.

Jazzem, why you don't just take the screenshots of Mindless instead of taking time trying to do them?? :-?



Yeah, edited too! :P

Eh? But I did! I've no idea what went wrong with the colour though.

Hmm... that is odd... looks like I need to take a look at my screenshot program... :/

Edit:  Nevermind, the red and blue are swapped in the XMas palette to make the Lemmings wear red.

And what about that?



Hey! Wait a minute! The levels on "The Lemmings Solution" web page aren't the same! So, this is why you said that?

...? I'm lost now :-?. When I said print screen the details, I meant things like the level name, the release rate etc.

As for the levels on the Lemmings Solution page, are you sure? We're on the Xmas 91 demo, and that ONML is definately what came next.

Oh... ok! My mistake! I thought it was about the level itself.

For the Xmas 91 levels, just look yourself: Here

...!?

Now that is strange... The version I downloaded had these levels...

...As did mine (obviously).  If that level isn't from XMas91, then where is it from?

DragonsLover:  Where did you get your copy of XMas91?

Well, in fact, the levels on "The Lemmings Solution" website aren't correct. That's all!

I have the same levels than you Jazzem.

So, here I continue:

This Corrosion


Number of Lemmings: 50
100% to be saved
Release rate: 1
Time: 3 minutes
Skills: 1 climber, 8 builders, 3 bashers and 2 diggers

Good: Nice challenging level, but...
Bad: ... isn't an holiday level style and is a Oh no more Lemmings level. I would prefer to have this level and the other one keeping the same style instead of taking the levels of Oh no! More Lemmings!

I think the reason there's two ONML levels is that it was a demo given out at Christmas 1991, and they obviously wanted to promote both Holiday Lemmings and ONML.

So onto Xmas 1992 I presume?

Yep! You begin! ;)

Don't mind if I do! :)

Jingle Lemming

Number of Lemmings: 50
50% to be saved
Release rate: 50
Time: 5 minutes
Skills: 25 bashers

Good: Terrain is nicely placed, and not an intimidating level, which is ideal for the first level of a demo.
Bad: It's far too easy for a showcase of an upcoming game, I understand it's meant to be simple to ease the player in, but it should really have been replaced with a slightly more non-linear level.
