I finished all the levels without a strategy guide in the Windows version. But of course it was sometimes quite difficult, I remember that I spent hour solving one level. But in this case I think a strategy guide wouldn't have helped much, the main problem in this level was that there where many lemmings and you had to click on the right one to finish it (especially not on one walking in the wrong direction. But of course there where also levels where I tried a strategy severakl times just to find out that it can't possibly work because it was too slow or I would loose to many lemmings.

I've played just about every version of lemmings that came out for the Amiga, including all the special versions that normally came out each Christmas. The original took me 3 days to complete on all difficulties and I had to fake an illness to skip school by sucking a bottle onto my cheek and creating a bruise then pretending I'd had a bad fall. Amazingly my parents fall for it: D Never relied on any guide either, because back then there was no internet for anyone outside of a research lab.

Shadow of the Beast, Blood Money, and Lemmings were staples of my gaming habits back then when I had an Amiga 1000. But my brother had the Amiga 500 and since it was an AIO machine and more easy to move, when our parents weren't home, we'd bring it down to the living room, drag the coffee table to the middle of the floor, and hook it up to the big woodgrain floor model TV we had.

One level that I'll never forget it -I have a cunning plan-. Not just because I love Blackadder, but my father and I got stuck on that one for ages.
I also remember some of the level codes from the Acorn Archimedes version, since they were short phrases. Sometimes, you could even guess them, as they'd follow certain patterns.

So disappointed that the current version of lemmings available has been -modernised-, eg buy more skill buy more lives. I miss the days when you bought a game and could play it through from start to finish without needing a subscription, mystery egg, jewels or coins and an advert between every level and menu screen.

This is one of the first games I remember my older brothers playing. We only had the original DOS version. They had a notebook full of codes for almost every level all the way through mayhem! To this day I just play a piece of the soundtrack and they just about fall over from the wave of nostalgia lol

I had Lemmings on Mac. It was great but the copy protection! Every time you started the game would tell you to look in the instruction manual and find a specific code, on a list of them under lemming skill symbols. They were all in this shiny, neon green font that couldn't be photocopied.

Every time I see Lemmings I just can't help but smile. SO many memories and not just of me playing, but almost my entire family. We used to swap strategies, horror stories, comedic moments (not related to the horror stories. yeeeaaah. Right. -_- ) etc. Those were the good ol' days -

The soundtrack for the Lemmings is burnt into my brain so badly that I sometimes hear it when I sleep. Sometimes in the middle of the night I wake up and all I can hear is that first level theme over and over. I actually think that warning at the front of the box isn't a joke.

It was so freaking difficult! Despite vigorous attempts, I never managed to make it through the last 20 levels when I played it as a kid. This is probably why it still holds a kind of magic for me. You really have to be made of special stuff to unlock the whole of it.
