[NeoLemmix] The Complete Reverse Lemmings

Download The Complete Reverse Lemmings V1.04

The collection comprises the following packs:

Reverse Lemmings Classic Edition

Reverse Lemmings Classic Edition is a graphically restored and updated version of Colorful Arty's awesome original Reverse Lemmings, itself a remix of DMA's original Lemmings (1990) with the entrances and exits swapped so that the levels are played in reverse!

As well as restoring the missing water objects and decorative terrain, this pack also features a number of tweaks here and there to the levels themselves. Arty has since released his own update for NeoLemmix, hence this one being titled the "Classic Edition" so as not to get the two confused.

Here's what's changed for this version:

Oh No! More Reverse Lemmings

My first ever remix pack, I finally got around to updating it with a few improvements. It's been quite amazing revisiting this after this past year of being active on the forums and learning so much about level design from the community; I can see now why, initially, this pack wasn't quite as well received as it could have been!

Well, hopefully this update will prove to be a much better version of this pack. I'm particularly happy with a lot of these levels now; most of the ones that needed it have seen significant improvements, detailed here:

Lemmings, but with the entrances and exits swapped!

Hi @WillLem,

I have completed both Reverse Lemmings editions for L1 and ONML for The Complete Reverse Lemmings series! My replays are attached.

Also, links to my LPs:

Reverse Lemmings Classic Edition (L1) - Kaywhyn's LP of Reverse Lemmings Classic Edition

Oh No! More Reverse Lemmings (ONML) - Kaywhyn's LP of Oh No! More Reverse Lemmings

Enjoy!

I have pretty much already played Reverse Lemmings Classic Edition before, as I played through Colorful Arty's SuperLemmini Reverse Lemmings pack a really long time ago. The Classic Edition is essential a direct conversion of the SuperLemmini pack to NL, and as mentioned in the OP Colorful Arty has since released his own version of Reverse Lemmings for NL, and it is a completely different and separate pack from WillLem's. As such, WillLem's version is titled Reverse Lemmings Classic Edition in order to distinguish it from Colorful Arty's Reverse Lemmings edition for NL.

While it is pretty much a direct conversion of the SuperLemmini pack, the Classic Edition does have some changes to some of the levels for NL so that some are different from the corresponding level in SuperLemmini, as WillLem has detailed in the changelog in the OP. Most of the changes are subtle and hence aren't very different from the SuperLemmini version, so most solutions that work on SuperLemmini should also work for the Classic Edition, though some of the changes still allow multiple, alternative solutions.

On the other hand, Oh No! More Reverse Lemmings is completely new to me and therefore the solutions are new for me. I did play Minim's Reverse Lemmings for ONML on Lemmix a really long time ago, and if my memory serves me correctly I stopped somewhere in late Crazy, when there were a few I couldn't solve. I recently went through the thread again, and it seems my suspicion that some require glitches to solve is right. Of course, no need to worry about them when playing this pack, since it is for NL So, as I pretty much don't really remember the levels from playing Minim's version of Reverse Lemmings for ONML, I may as well treat Oh No! More Reverse Lemmings as a completely different pack from Minim's and hence a complete blind playthrough

Minim's Reverse Lemmings for ONML topic here:

https://www.lemmingsforums.net/index.php?topic=1727.0

For both packs, I used the PC Canadian version of the music tracks, as honestly I can't stand to listen to the Amiga tracks anymore and IMHO the Dos and PC Canadian versions of the L1/ONML music tracks are far superior To be fair, I grew up with the Dos port of the games and hence I listened to the Dos tracks first, though I heard the PC Canadian version of the music tracks far more due to spending more time playing L1/ONML on the Cd that bundles both games together. It wouldn't be for many years later when I learned there were so many other ports for L1. So, sorry to any fans of the Amiga tracks!

For fun, I decided to simulate the former SuperLemming gimmick on Wicked 2 by playing the entire level with FF on. At the same time, I kind of had to play it without pausing, as I forgot that pausing and then unpausing turns FF off! I decided to leave my multiple failures in the video, as they should still serve to be good for a laugh I think you can clearly tell I was enjoying myself! I did realize too late that I kind of cheated before I solved the level the first time, as I forgot to cancel the replaying back my actions. So, I went back to redo the level with FF engaged right from the start and making sure to frantically click empty air to cancel the replay After a few tries, I gave up trying to use the mouse to select the skill, so I just resorted to pressing the Z key. Things probably would had been easier if I had use both the Z and Y keys in conjunction with each other, but well, you can tell that I don't play with those hotkeys, so this was more or less new to me even though I've used them on some levels of Strato's Lemmicks!      

Even though both of these packs were on the easy side for me, I still enjoyed them very much! I don't think I ever downloaded the original Oh No! More Reverse Lemmings, and so I wouldn't be able to compare the v1.04 version to earlier versions of the pack. Even then, I take WillLem's word that this is significantly improved from all of the earlier versions of the pack If anything, playing through Lemmings Redux, Colorful Arty's Reverse Lemmings for NL, and both packs of the Complete Reverse Lemmings by WillLem, one for L1 and the other for ONML, all within the past week have given me some level ideas of my own for my upcoming pack Lemmings Memories!

Hardest levels for Reverse Lemmings Classic Edition IMO:

Taxing 17 and Taxing 23

Hardest levels of Oh No! More Reverse Lemmings IMO:

Wild 17, Wicked 16 (more due to finishing on time instead of the puzzle), Wicked 17, Havoc 8, and Havoc 17

Favorites of Mine:

Wicked 20, Havoc 5, and Havoc 8

Thanks again for Reverse Lemmings for both L1 and ONML, @WillLem!
