Several years ago, I released my very first levelpack: Reverse Lemmings! I took the original Lemmings levelpack, swapped the entrances and exits, changed the skillsets (and occasionally the time limits and release rate), and made a new pack off of that! I was not allowed to change any terrain or objects other than swapping entrances with exits. Unfortunately, many of the levels kind of sucked and it never got ported to new formats.

Until now.

When porting to new formats, I changed pretty much every single level to have a different solution, so treat this as a completely different levelpack. Even those of you who played the original will find a new challenge with this one! One of the main changes is I'm allowing the new skills to be used, which I didn't do for the original pack.

Fair warning: this pack has virtually no difficultly curve. There will be levels in Fun and Tricky that are harder than some Mayhem levels simply due to the fact that some level really can't be that difficult without the ability to change terrain or objects. That said, I've tried my best to make the earlier ranks easier than the later ones, but my main goal was to make each level have a unique and fun solution. Also, some levels are EXTREMELY difficult. Expect a lot of frustration if you want to beat all levels and get all talismans.

The pack is attached to the post.

My gosh, you weren't kidding: these are much cheekier than the original Reverse Lemmings - had to bring a few advanced tricks out to get through these!

Still nice and playable though; managed to solve most of them on the first attempt. Looking forward to ykcirT...

Thanks a lot for converting these, Arty! I've been looking for an excuse to replay all the original Lemmings levels with my custom recordings of the original Lemmings tracks... without boring myself to death due to already knowing all of the solutions.

Now I have something that will look, sound, and feel like original Lemmings, but still give me some new nuts to crack!

Reverse Lemmings is still one of my favourite NL packs: I love seeing the original game re-imagined (as is probably very obvious to most people in the community by now).

Fancy sharing the music?

Also check out these packs for new takes on the old levels if you enjoy that kind of thing!

I already did, those are the tracks for Lemming World Tour (and will also be used for Lemmings Open Air).

In order for them to play on levels using the standard Lemmings tracks, you obviously have to rename my tracks and replace the originals with them. Just make sure to back up the original files.

For playing my own packs, this isn't necessary, because the levels already refer to the custom tracks, rather than to the original ones.
