"FUN AND FAMILY FROLICS WITH FURRY FRIENDS Lipsmakin', cliff leapin', bridge buildin', excavatin', hole diggin', barrier makin', mountain climbin', ..... LEMMINGS"

The original retail 2 disk release of Lemmings on the Amiga is being played here. A single disk version missing the intro was released later bundled with the Amiga 500+ Cartoon Classics pack, Amiga 600 Lemmings pack and maybe with some other bundles. Both contain 120 levels of Lemmings action although the single disk version is notably missing the four dma / Psygnosis special levels. Lemmings ultimately made it to pretty much every mainstream platform at that time and a few beyond including everything and between the gameboy, Playstation, pc, Lynx and even the three 8 bit home computers CPC, C64 and Spectrum.

The longplay shows all 120 levels spread across four difficulty levels. I am by no means playing optimally or completing the intended way with many levels that can be completed in multiple ways depending on amount of resources available. Just maybe you will see an unorthodox solution or just a flat out bad solution but it helps differentiate it from other videos. My weakness is time management and not releasing the horde before finishing the route. The fun levels are more about learning the different abilities whilst having many resources available to experiment. The tricky levels is where the game really begins even going over some of the previous levels with much less resources. When you reach taxing that's where a little frustration might set in as you have to think on your feet and resources and the time limit are getting tight. Mayhem should be called maddening with having very little resources and levels only really having one perfect solution and having to make use of little exploits or quirks to make it through.

As an additional download I have added the official demo version containing five single player levels and two two player levels. Of course there is only me so the 2P levels are not played right but as it's a demo I showed anyway. I wouldn't do this for the full game. The demo also appeared on Amiga format Jan 91 issue cut down to just three levels and it's worth noting that it has an addition trap on level 2 that wasn't in the official demo. The CU Amiga demo (Dec 90) is exactly the same.
