 LEMMINGS DEMO

 Psygnosis 1991



 CONTROLS : Keyboard, Kempston

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------

 AIM : Your task, in this classic "save-em-up", is to rescue the small, 

 hapless and terminally stupid Lemmings from certain death. In this demo, 

 you get to play four actual levels from the game.

 

 GAMEPLAY : The start of the level informs you of how many must be saved

 to move on to the next level. The Lemmings drop from a trapdooor set at

 the top of the screen and must make it safely to the exit within a time

 limit. If they hit a solid object they bounce off and retrace their

 steps, if they fall too far they splatter, and if they fall into water, 

 they drown.



  They can be controlled by clicking on one of the ten icons ranged 

 across the bottom of the screen and then clicking on a Lemming to 

 "give" him that function. Only a certain number of each type of

 function is available, so you will need to think carefully about which 

 to use, where and when...



 These are the functions of each icon (from left to right):



 1. MINUS	- decreases the amount of Lemmings being released.



 2. PLUS	- increases the amount being released.



 3. CLIMBER	- allows a Lemming to climb a sheer face.



 4. FLOATER	- gives a Lemming an umbrella so that he can fall without

		 being splattered.



 5. BOMBER	- makes a Lemming explode after a five-second countdown!



 6. BLOCKER	- turns a Lemming into a "traffic warden" and prevents

		 other Lemmings from passing him. Can only be got rid of

		 by turning him into a bomber.



 7. BUILDER	- makes a Lemming build a bridge across a hazard. He'll

		 only build a fairly short stretch though.



 8. BASHER	- makes the Lemming tunnel horizontally through an

		 obstacle.



 9. MINER	- makes the Lemming tunnel diagonally downwards through

		 an obstacle or the floor.



 10. DIGGER	- makes the Lemming dig vertically downwards.



 11. PAWS MODE	- pawses the game (sic).



 12. NUKE	- blows up all the Lemmings. Use if you've made a

		 spectacular mess of the level...
