Title: PC/DOS Version Help On Last Level
Post by: bruno_ar2002 on June 08, 2008, 12:25:40 AM
Hi, folks,

Let me introduce myself, I not a fan of the game but the other day I stubble up on a lemmings site and it reminded myself 10 years ago when I played one hole summer the PC/DOS version of lemmings, of course I enjoyed it a lot but for some reason I got stuck in one of the lasts level and could not pass it, very frustrated, .... hahhaa, the years passed on and I never went back to that 3 1/4 diskette but the question kept pounding in my head, can it be done ... that level seemed impossible, I always thought that its was the last level and that it cannot be done, but I was not sure. So I decided to do some research and too see I a could find some screen shoots and look if someone had solved the level. So lemmings fans If you have some screen shoots and the solution I would be grateful.
Here is the info of the level, or what I can remember of it, its been 10 years at least:
I think the only thing that I had was bricks, explosion and the turn around lemming.

Hey Bruno,

You level is: Taxing 27 - Call In The Bomb Squad

Now, may of you may be used to finishing the level by bombing through the upper platform to reach the exit. Heck, some of you may have even done it my way already. I attempted to bomb through the upper platform a few times (build, block, bomb the blocker, build again, block, bomb, etc), but came to the conclusion that I kept running out of builders before I got there.

So, I had a look at my surroundings, and noticed that the lower platform was shifted to the left underneath the long platform above (it was closer to the left side of the long platform). I tried building undernearth to bypass the upper plaform. Didnt work. I then tried stretching the bridge. Didnt work either.

Thats when I noticed I had enough platform to the left of the entrance to block + bomb the edge and lower myself down to build a longer bridge. One bomb didnt work, but two was successful and by stretching the bridge (after blocking undearneath the entrance), I was able to bypass the lower left corner of the long platform, block at the top and then build up to the upper platform to successfully finish the level.

This is my screenshot to prove it works:

False. That's the intended solution though. I always beated this level that way. I can do a screen if you want to.
