Anyone know where Tundra is?

Hey, I'm just wondering if anyone knows where to find covox's Tundra? I'd like to give it a try on my Mac, but the wordpress blog where it was is ... totally borked.

Can you tell me what Tundra is? I think I've heard of it, but I have no idea what it is.

It's a Lemmings clone, much like Lemmix and Lemmini.

Oh. Anyways, I think I'm fine with Lemmix.

Couldn't find links to the music packs on that site, so here they are:

DOS: http://rapidshare.com/files/9619025/tundra_musicpack_dos.tar.bz2

Edit: Also, whenever I try to resize the game window, the game crashes with an error (see attached log). I'm running Windows XP SP3, by the way.

Thanks Mindless. Grabbed the source and compiling now.

For reference, I like Tundra because it retains one thing that Lemmini left out: blocker behaviour (falling Lemmings don't turn around when they land directly on a blocker).

And Lemmix is out of the question, I run a Mac, and Lemmix doesn't play nice with Darwine.

And don't even get me started on Pingus...

So THAT'S what Tundra is for, isn't it...

Yeah, a cross platform Lemmings clone. Differs from Lemmini in its use of system resources and integration. And speed.

Does Lemmini even still exist anymore? Most people appear to just use Lemmix.

Lemmini can be found at lemmini.de. I suggest trying it out, even if you like Lemmix.

I actually never knew that Lemmini had gotten to completion (or at least usability). Of course, I heard that A LONG time ago, so I guess it makes sense that the thing was done.
