(We were discussing a restructure of these but didn't get around, maybe the L1 topic should at least link to the ones for L2 and L3.)

Hi everyone,

I've been playing Lemmings for Windows 95 for many years now – and even today I'm still playing it on Windows 11. It's a true classic for me and I really love the original Windows 95 version, especially the music.

Recently, I started looking for an alternative and came across the Java-based Lemmini versions. They are pretty good and I appreciate the effort behind them. However, I noticed that they use the DOS version music, which sounds different (and honestly a bit strange) compared to the Windows 95 soundtrack.

I tried to replace the music files with the ones from the Windows 95 version, but unfortunately I couldn't get it to work.

Does anyone know if there is a newer version of Lemmini (or another engine) that supports or already includes the original Windows 95 music? I would really love to play with that specific soundtrack.

Thanks in advance!

I've done a few edits to make it a bit more difficult - see what you think now

I see there's How to play Lemmings (1991) on a modern PC, but are there equivalent source ports for Lemmings 2: The Tribes?

Haha. Yeah - I thought about having less builders or having one-way arrows in one part of the level, but I am worried that it might make the solution I thought of more obvious. The main reason I added so many skills is because I didn't want people to worry about running out of skills with how many lemmings there were, but maybe I could reduce them to increase the difficulty

Great levels, harder than I expected! 

Sorry, here's a lot less messier replay (Although I'm still sure there are quicker ways to do it)

I don't have much work on today so I tried out the level editor on Retrolemmini and made this I've attached a playthrough for illustration purposes although it took me way longer than it should have, you can do it in way under 12 minutes and use a lot less builders. The solution is pretty obvious in my opinion although I'm sure there are other solutions people can come up with.

I'd say the main difficulty is the builders and floaters at the beginning on the right hand hatch.

It would be really cool to have some feedback on it and see what I can do to make it better from a design pov, or harder to solve.

I want to keep the no time limit and the 300 lemmings because I came up with the idea originally - I think my next level will have 10 lemmings.

Quote from: Proxima on February 11, 2026, 10:45:19 AMIt's true that NeoLemmix is a continuation of the Lemmix engine, which started as a direct port of the DOS version. But the levels included in Redux try to be more faithful to the Amiga version

Fair enough, and I know that by now NL is probably only like DOS in terms of its default gfx and sounds, all of which can be modded anyway. But even so, I'd still say that the answer to the specific question "where can I play Lemmings and Oh No! More Lemmings as close to the Amiga version as possible whilst offering modern QOL features?" is SuperLemmix rather than NeoLemmix.

As well as restoring the levels, several other engine elements such as the UI graphics, menu theming, sprite colours and internal physics have been modelled on the Amiga version during SLX development.

The only thing I haven't done yet is restore the Amiga sound scheme. SLX still uses the DOS sounds from NeoLemmix. The music has all been sampled via the Amiga Paula chip though (albeit an emulation thereof).

One of the main goals of SuperLemmix in fact, and specifically as a fork of NeoLemmix, was to base it more on Amiga than DOS. Obviously, the absolute best way to do that would be to reverse engineer the Amiga game itself from scratch (as Lemmix originally did with DOS). But, by the time SLX development began, NL was already quite far away from its DOS base anyway, certainly far enough to be able to redesign it to a different set of specifications.
