Title: SuperLemmix NES and Covox levels
Post by: bodie on August 12, 2023, 04:29:23 PM
I was just wondering, what are those NES levels that came included with SuperLemmix. Names like 'John's Got A New Lemming' , 'Come To Lemming County' etc. Also, what are those Covox ones as well?

Covox levels are the 8 levels from the demo disk Save the Lemmings a.k.a. Covox Lemmings (https://lemmings.fandom.com/wiki/Save_the_Lemmings).

The NES levels are probably what appeared exclusively on NES Lemmings 1.

Reason: DOS and Amiga Lemmings 1 level are special in how DOS/Amiga were the first platforms for which DMA created Lemmings levels, therefore we think of DOS/Amiga levels simply as Lemmings 1 levels. Other hardware platforms (such as NES) often weren't able to run the large DOS/Amiga levels accurately, and got replacement levels. Colloquially, we call a level a NES level if it appeared on NES, but not DOS/Amiga.

Genesis got a particularly strong set of replacement/addon levels with some excellent puzzles. The Genesis levels are mixed with DOS/Amiga levels into Lemmings Redux, the level pack that ships directly with NeoLemmix.

NES Lemmings has different physics and terrain from Amiga/DOS Lemmings, so all the NES levels available for NeoLemmix/SuperLemmix are unofficial recreations by Ron_Stard, not rips of the actual level data like the Genesis levels.

Hello John is NES & also GB version level on Mayhem, its one harder levels on NES, because NES system not allow you switc skills when you are paused. Its later had several differents custom level variations. One my own 1 st pack Step 2 level 14. Also Lemmings Redux have own version with this level.
