Lemmings

the original Lemmings game.
also called: Lemmings 1
includes 120 levels in 4 different ratings (Fun, Tricky, Taxing and Mayhem). The Amiga and Atari ST version has 30 extra levels for 2-player mode. I got information that SNES version has got an extra 5th rating called Sunsoft which seems to have at least 10 levels. For the Archimedes a different version running on the desktop in windows is available
Platforms: Amiga, Atari ST, PC, Mac, Archimedes. not sure about the levels: Nintendo (SNES, NES, DMG), Sinclair Spectrum (128K + 48k), C 64, ...

Oh NO! More Lemmings

similar to the original Lemmings
sometimes referred to as Lemmings 2.
100 levels in 5 different ratings (Tame, Crazy, Wild, Wicked, Havoc). Amiga and ST version with 10 two player levels. Again, there is an Archimedes windows version too.
Platforms: Amiga, Atari ST, Mac, Archimedes, PC, ...???

Lemmings for Windows

contains all the levels from the original game and Oh No! More Lemmings.
Platforms: Windows 3.1 with Win32S and WinG, is said to make trouble within Windows 95 - there will be a special version soon. WinG is not included in the distribution so download it (download WinG10.zip, unzip it and run setup).

Lemmings for OS/2

This version might never get finished. Like the Windows version, this one includes the original levels and Oh No! More levels.
Platforms: OS/2

Lemmings 2 - The Tribes

much more different tasks available
Platforms: Amiga, Atari ST, Archimedes, PC, Nintendo - SNES, Sega Genesis & Sega CD, Sony Playstation... ? (MAC version has been canceled)

Christmas Lemmings '91 & '92

Holiday Lemmings is it's other name. Both versions are available for free. Platforms: Amiga, PC

Holiday Lemmings '94 and Holiday Lemmings '93

also called Christmas Lemmings
whereas the Holiday Lemmings before 1993 where free demo versions with only few levels these are full games. The '93 edition has got 32 levels and the '94 one 32 new one but includes the 1993 levels too.
Platforms: Amiga, PC, Mac

Lemmings 3 - The Chronicles

European name: All New World of Lemmings (the different names confused me a lot!). Enhanced graphics; style of game has been changed - I am still not really used to it but I haven't played it that much yet.
Platforms: PC, Amiga (AGA only)

Lemmings 3D

real 3D graphics. 20 training levels + 80 normal game levels. Warning: game control is quite hard to learn but still a lot of fun. I am currently in level 50 and hope that the last 30 levels will be a lot harder to solve.
Platforms: PC, Sony Playstation

Lemmings Paintball

totally different from the other Lemming games. In about 100 levels two teams of lemmings have to shoot each other with colour bullets. There is a two-player mode for networks.
Platforms: PC with Windows 95, Sony Playstation, MAC?

Freeware, Shareware, etc. games

Operation Lemmings

It is a Charityware game (like Shareware, but you pay the money to charity). It was written by Chris Foote for the Amiga. The game may show up here soon, so if you are interested keep looking here. The right one to play if you are really stuck on one of the levels or you just finished one you had to start over and over again.
Platforms: Amiga

Level Editors

A Lemmings 2 Level Editor for the Amiga arrived. It is written by Chris Hodges in 100% assemly language and needs Kickstart 2.05, OCS, harddisk, Lemmings 2 Harddisk version and is shareware. It is available on Aminet too (in Aminet/game/misc/Lem2LevEd103.lha). The editor should work with the UAE (U* Amiga Emulator) which is available for several systems.

The emulators will get their own section once I've got enough time. For now:

UAE
• The UAE Homepage
• The MS-Dos port
• The WindowsNT Port

As the Amiga and PC levels differ a bit, Hermann Schinagl wrote a conversion tool for Amiga levels to PC ones.

If you want to start your own Lemmings 2 editor, Hermann Schinagl has written a Lemmings 2 - The Tribes level encoding/decoding program.
