Thanks namida!

Suggestions of Lemmings similar/clones games for current PC systems? I'm lacking screenshots here at the forums.

Well the main custom Lemmings engines here are NeoLemmix and Lix.

Both support handy things like backwards/forward framestepping for extra precision, replays and directional select.

To give you some gameplay videos:

NeoLemmix:
With commentary and live-playing:

Some replay videos (made with a slightly older version which has not the recently added features like skill blueprints):

The playlist has some more lix videos as well.


I am more from the NeoLemmix side here. Some links I can recommend to get started :
Topic for newest versions of the player (opens NeoLemmix level packs and levels), the Editor, the Flexi Toolkit (used to make own level packs) and the Graphic Set Tool (used to make custom tilesets): http://www.lemmingsforums.net/index.php?topic=2979.0
The original games as NeoLemmix packs: http://www.lemmingsforums.net/index.php?topic=2479.0
My own level pack (shameless advertising!): http://www.lemmingsforums.net/index.php?topic=2175.0
The Neolemmix manual (could be slightly outdated): http://www.lemmingsforums.net/index.php?topic=2414.0

And here the Lix link to get started :
New D-version, but without the multiplayer (coming soon) and the Old C++ version with multiplayer:

Now you have Lemming/Lix stuff for ages!    Have fun!

My own level pack (shameless advertising!): http://www.lemmingsforums.net/index.php?topic=2175.0

Although this is a great pack, it's also a very hard one and I wouldn't recommend it until you've played a fair bit of fanmade stuff.

The two packs I'd most recommend to new users, GigaLems and GeoffLems, unfortunately haven't been updated to work with the newest versions of NeoLemmix. The creator of GeoffLems is no longer active on the forums, so I might update that pack myself at some point.

Revenge of the Lemmings may be a good choice - it's an extremely large pack that covers pretty much the entire difficulty spectrum, from ultra-easy to crazy-hard. So, there's something in there for everyone. I'm not sure off-hand if it's been updated to the very newest versions of NeoLemmix either, but it has been updated to much newer versions than these other two have.

Zemmings Vol. 1 is also a strong recommendation. It only has eight levels, but I'd say the levels are not overly hard and a lot of fun to solve. This one will also give you a taste of one of the best graphic sets designed by the creator of the pack himself!

Revenge of the Lemmings will not work on newer versions of NeoLemmix (last update for it was January 16, 2016 which was built on an older version of the Flexi Player), especially how some of the levels rely on the Cheapo gimmick which has been removed.

If you want to play the Lemmings Plus series as well (also highly recommended!), Lemmings Plus I is also a great pack for new users, it has a much fairer difficulty curve and the levels only get much harder in the last two ranks. The same applies to Lemmings Plus Omega for those who want to accustom themselves to the new NeoLemmix features such as objects and skills.

Thanks for the tips!

[GigaLem]

Of course i had to get an abscess tooth, If i go completely absent for a bit, Im getting this taken care of....wish me luck

[Minim]

Ouch! A tooth abscess is not nice at all. Not only you get continuous pain but a high temperature too. Hope you have a speedy recovery...

[Wafflem]

I'm sorry to hear that, GigaLem. I hope you get well soon!

[IchoTolot]

I will be away for at least a week due to a hospital stay in hamburg, that hopefully fixes my eating problems!

I try to get wifi access there though for university stuff I need to settle and maybe give a little update to this here as well, but I cannot promise that!

[Minim]

I remember you mentioning about your eating problems back here. Take it easy during your week off. Hope you don't get too bored in hospital! Hoping for the best possible outcome.

[Wafflem]

Get well soon, Icho! Hope your hospital stay goes very well and that your problems become less severe. Keep us updated.

[mobius]

get well Giga; tooth problems are annoying and bad

and the best for you too Icho; I hope you get cured. I don't want to imagine you're sufferings.

[IchoTolot]

Little update out of the hospital: The operation went well and I am currently recovering.
I can also feel that liquids are getting waaay better down now! Hope that will be true for regular food as well!

Also scribbled a blueprint of a new level down on a college block I brought with me

When everything goes well over the weekend I could be home again on Monday evening (german timezone)!

Sadly that means I will miss Arty's stream on saturday      But I hope I will be there for the next one!

[Wafflem]

That's really great to hear, Icho! I'm glad to hear that things went super-well at the hospital!

[Colorful Arty]

I'm so happy you're feeling better Icho! Don't worry, Youtube should automatically upload the stream to my channel afterwards.

[IchoTolot]

Back again!  + I think my eating problem should be gone!

Still need to go slow with it so no pizza, meat and stuff right now , but I will get to that next week or so.
