You can't fool me, the Mega Drive version was played in 50Hz as the version used in the footage was the European ROM. Without a doubt, the Mega Drive version is my favourite.
Yay! One of my requests has been fulfilled! Thanks! My only nitpicks are that the Commodore 64 version's intro and the DOS version's CGA mode were missed out.
I had no idea the ZX Spectrum version was made all the way back in 1911! (They missed out the second C between the X and the I in the Roman numeral copyright date) I'm surprised the Commodore 64 version was made so late in that system's lifetime; you'd think it would've been made in '91 or '92.
I'm looking forward to the version comparisons for Oh No! More Lemmings and Lemmings 2: The Tribes. I heard that the latter had Master System, Game Gear and possibly other versions that went unreleased.
Fun Fact: The music that plays in most versions' intros (The one with the Lemmings floating out of their balloon and the one in front climbing up to the top of the letter L in the logo) is called "March of the Mods".
On PSP, There are Lemmings pushing the game logo.
An Amiga classic.
One great thing about the Windows and Macintosh versions is that there's a turbo mode. No more waiting after you've set up a good path to the exit.
The 3DO version has fast forward in it. So does the CD-i version I believe.
We played the 2 players battle mode on the SNES so many times... this brings up memories!
Ahhh DOS Adblib brings back so many fond memories. Thanks Dude.
The Lynx version has the smoothest scaling in the intro.
Not that difficult with hardware scaling.
i probably wouldn’t know how to develop (make) a Lynx game with hardware scalling
6:03 And there it is. The version of The CanCan that will forever be burned into my mind. What an absolute wave of nostalgia the Acorn port is.
To this day, the only official port that has had as profound an impact on me was the MegaDrive version, so I think that speaks of how well this game has aged.
Yes remember playing the archimedes version of this at school during morning and afternoon registration and had a friend with the Amiga version. I had to put up the inferior Atari ST version at home.
I played the Archimedes version, I still hum the music to this day! Awesome game.
Easily the best version of the OST, in my opinion.
@@Saxdude26or even of the game on any home platform, including the X68000
The 3DO version was a bit of a surprise to me with the FMV opening. Almost all the versions are solid.
The Archimedes version is the one I played back when I was a kid, so it's that one that holds the most nostalgia for me. I also had the PlayStation version, but it annoyed me because it didn't have the forest level, or the level with the snakes and blood and stuff in it, and those were my two favourite levels.
@@filevans lol
In the meantime, the Commodore Plus4 version has been completed, very well done, I can only recommend it.
The Mac color version appears to be one of the best especially when watching this video full screen.
I played on an Amiga and thought that was clearly the best version of the ones shown-that was, until we got to the PSP version. Holy heck are those graphics awesome.
I still play it on my SNES from time to time 🎮🎮
Very cool! Would be great to see all versions of Gauntlet. There were 2 versions on J2ME.
Because of the Motion controls on Wii, Wii U and Switch, along with the Stylus controls on DS, 3DS and Wii U they would've been perfect controls for Lemmings... but Lemmings are officially owned by Sony/PlayStation and they don't work with Nintendo(not counting Crash Bandicoot and Spyro), but no we get a Mobile Port which isn't all that good TBH
There are a DS Lemmings ;)
30:43 These graphics are a bit better than the ones from _Hotel Mario_ and the _Zelda_ CD-i games.
38:35 Also, despite being on the 3DO, only the intro is 3D.
YEAH O_O DAMN !
I still got my spectrum verion , was good fun and i have it on psp which I started playing again last week , it looks and plays good
As much as I loved the Lynx version, coming to it as I did after the ST and Game Gear versions, putting the icons on a separate pause screen, really killed the frantic nature of the gameplay for me 😭
The music is pretty cool!
Interesting finding a lemmings video coming from a dude with 25K subscribers, and the fact the video was released last month of 2021.
It always bothers me, that in the (classic) intro the blocker actually blocks no one, there is just no lemming appearing, but as shown in the scene before, there were a lot of lemmings going to the left. So where are they?
I think they were blocked, but technical limitations of the Amiga couldn’t have them on screen.
Did anyone notice they use the Can Can song theme in the first level? This song also happens In Super Mario Land when you get the star.
Used can-can. only this word
No. He is Luigi. "super luigi land" You can heard the Can Can music in Super Mario Advance 2. Highlight Erase File, hold the Select button and press Right (x9), Down (x11), Left (x15) and Up (x25 and then x12). A "Endings!" option will appear and selecting this gives the option to select endings. Ending 1 causes you go to the Ending after defeating Bowser. Ending 2 causes you go to the Ending after all the Yoshi coins collected. Ending 3 causes you go to the Ending after all goals found. And Ending 4 is similar to the Ending 3, but cut to Luigi shooting the blue, yellow and green Koopa Masks, then Cape Mario flying, then Mario and Luigi doing V sings, and credits scrolling up, although "Producer" becomes "Produce" and Shigeru Miyamoto's name was misspelled as Shiegru Mimoyato. And Can Can music is heard in this Ending. EDIT: This only works in the North America version, does nothing in other versions. ANOTHER EDIT: The Can Can music is based on Lemmings Acorn Archimedes version.
Thanks man i love lemmings
Must dig out a copy of Lemmini and give that another go.
Lol that Philips CD-I intro is quite funny
Ok
It has quite a lot of charm and has the best intro out of them all tbh considering how much everyone has character in it. Hehe.
My maths teacher gave me an Acorn Archimedes that was lying around the classroom. All it had installed was Lemmings. X)
how old were you 7, 9, 11 years old?
did you keep the computer for a few weeks, months, years or throw it out?
@@jasonlee7816 I must have been about 12, I think I kept it for a few months, maybe years, but my parents wanted me to throw it out so it went eventually.
@@SomeInterestingName did you upgrade it?
Una pregunta puedes hacer una comparacion de versiones de la saga de final fantasy para tu siguientes videos? Claro si no te molesta en hacerlo
Had this on ST, Game Gear and Lynx.
Lynx version lost the frantic gameplay, by putting the icons on the pause screen.
The machines low vertical resolution (102 pixels) meant some levels had to be redesigned as well.
awesome!
Nice Comparison video.
Pity that DOS version are vertically cropped (missing top and bottom parts of the picture).
And Windows 95 version should have MIDI music (using MS Soft Synth).
We had the PC-DOS version but it had the CD-i/3DO soundfont? Did anyone else have this one?
Didn't the Windows version have music you could toggle on/off? Granted I recall it being rather poor midi, but I'm sure it had music.
@@kajioukun Funny. I played it on Windows 10 and it did. And honestly, for MIDI, it's not too bad overall.
Interesting the variations in level 1 music across the different versions. I only knew the DOS version which I think is an original song. Funny the Atari ST version is the only one that uses 'She'll be coming 'round the mountain' while the majority use the Can Can song.
NEC PC-9801 uses the song, One Way or Another.
Played a lot on the Atari ST version but when I saw it on the PSP, I played even more ! What a beautiful release very well adapted to this console with perfect controls !
Me acuerdo que jugaba un solo juego de Lemmings en mi infancia y en mi adolescencia.
My God ZX Spectrum Looks Like a Color LCD Game
Funny, just recently watched a full TAS for SNES version. What a coincidence to have a comparison video as well.
I finished this on the Amiga and I did it by playing a pirated PAL version that ran faster than it should have. I also finished the C64 version in an emulator. I only played it because it had mouse support. I played a few levels just to see how it played and before I knew it, I was playing through all of them. :)
I can't imagine playing some of the higher levels with digital controls. I had enough trouble beating them with a mouse.
im glad the PSM port of PSP lemmings, lemmings touch and the mobile ports introduced touch controls
Good thing they're just computer sprites, imagine having to get rid of blockers by blowing them up, instead of simply instructing them to stop blocking.
Why is some version of Lemmings has different music than in Amiga version
Weird, the windows 95 version i played had sound, but it didn't in this version. Why?
I had no idea the Phillips CD-I version was so beautiful! Compare that with the 3DO one, which looks flat-out horrible with dated blurry graphics. Top 3: 1. Amiga CD32, 2. PSP, 3. CD-I
Why in the color macintosh section, the menu bar doesn't have color
Because the menu bar never had color and I think never will
The SNES one was my childhood
Apple - "Taking the charm away since 1992"
i see how the game works: you select the special lemming suited to the obstacle the walker lemmings are in front of then choose the lemming you want to be the special lemming
Most versions use the Can Can song starting from the Amiga. I grew up with the PC DOS version, really love the 1st level Adlib song. I think Amstrad CPC also use this song, but inferior.
Of course the CD-i gets that ytp source feel
Me gustaría que tú mismo eligieras tú primera y segunda versión que te pareció mejor (y por qué)
I'm not sure if the C64 version of Lemmings was the last official C64 game.
It was the last high profile release for the C64. After that, the C64 would see smaller releases in Germany, Hungary and Poland until about 1997.
@@amerigocosta7452 C64 games are still being made today which is great to see.
@@Daz555Daz yes they are, but I'd say that commercial games released in the last two decades fall in the after market territory. Eventho for computer games there is no licensing program in place (unlike for console games) so as far as officiality goes there is no difference between Lemmings and PETSCII Robots.
Some interesting i find about the J2ME port is that there is a different version, which makes you play in sideways, which sort of makes it uncomfortable
It would have been nice if you included the J2ME Lemmings Returns. The original J2ME Lemmings is actually missing a lot of levels and only has 3 rankings, so Lemmings Returns is basically a part two.
I was always impressed by the Spectrum version of this.
why were you impressed?
@@jasonlee7816 just because it could have been so much worse considering Spectrum development was dying out at the time and a lot of programmers were rushing stuff out just to rinse what was left of the 8 bit market. It felt like the Spectrum version was done with care.
There's also an Apple IIGS Version, IT IS MISSING
IT IS UNOFFICIAL ;) But I can see why you wouldn't think that, it's a pretty solid conversion.
Wasnr there an msx version too
31:45
the Cutscene's Audio stopped existing.
phillips cdi intro could have been much cooler and funnier if they hired someobdy who actually knew how to animate
I happy now
Wheres the apple ii gs version
I forgot Lemmings was on the CD-i.
The first level is "Just Dig!"
That game looks cool for me lol
They need to bring back the game and put the first two full games on the newer game too. But make like a 1,000 levels
The best versions are the Amiga and the ZX Spectrum.
Nope! ZX is even worse! And the best one was SNES!
Versions that you forgot:
Apple iigs (1996)
MSX2 (1997)
Atari 8 bits XL/XE (1998)
J2ME (lemmings returns) (2005)
Satellaview (199?)
wait, there is no VCS2600 port??
It's Not A Real Version Bro!
Wow I don't even know all those systems, it seems only Windows 95 and PSX versions has the option to speed up gameplay.
Apparently the ZX spectrum port is over 100 years old. who knew??
Haha, the roman numeral typo! I almost missed that, should've been MCMXCI
Sega Of America told Probe Software this would be impossible to convert to the Game Gear, Probe went ahead and proved them wrong.
Please all version of oh no more lemmings
Commet down below ur fav port intro(1), fav music(2), fav graphics(3), and fev overall port(4).
1:Philips 2:Commodore 64 3:Playstation, 4:Mega Drive
(Sorry But You Cant Include the BONUS Port)
And include why:
1:B/C no laziness
2:Idk why. I J U S T L I K E I T.
3:The hair of the lemmings look better.
4:Bc it's unique unlike the others
(It includes some oh no more lemmings levels and has the best ending if you beat sunsoft)
Almost all are good, except for the very low resolution ones. I prefer the Amiga versions, like A500, CD32, and CDTV (which is actually an A500+CD). The game is identical for the three.
Muy bueno el juego
There's a better looking mode for the DOS VGA graphics which is "High Performance PC". The in-game GUI has slightly better graphics, similar to the Amiga version. There's also a complete different music set for the Tandy computers which sounds close to the Atari ST version.
Ayyy
I do say the CDI ver. is pretty much stands out from the crowd along with the 3DO.
Tho that PSX intro is surprising.
The music tho...at the end of the day makes me think of this: th-cam.com/video/-3i4GzaTAtM/w-d-xo.html
18:35
Acorn Archimedes has the most crisp graphics, and I still don't really understand why the musical arrangements in all other versions are so weird, with mistakes in the harmony and dodgy chord progressions, etc. The arc has more songs than most other versions, and much more effective orchestration! Of course I'm biased...guess which version I owned. Haha
Love lemmings, but you forgot the Ps2 version that has eyetoy play and Ps3 with HD graphics also PsVita 2014 and the official mobile version 2018.
Why does the 1992 Game Gear version released on the 1990 Game Gear look worse than the 2000 Game Boy Color version released on the 1998 GBC?
Probably because it was rushed.
I think you typed that out wrong, but I see what you mean.
It's typically the GBC's color limitations. The GBC has a 15-bit color palette (same as the SNES), but you can only have 10 colors onscreen with its base color mode. (I think another mode allowed for 26 and another 54?)
Eh? The GBC version is THE worst port of Lemmings on any machine! Its so slow and plays so bad (and yes i’ve played them all believe me)
Para mí, la versión de amiga,CDTV y cd32 tienen la misma calidad sonora
How annoying is the number of versions in old games. I just want to sit down and play the best version, but before that I need to study all the versions to understand which one is the best...
Anyone else find it sad that out of the thirty officially released versions of the game, only SIX have two-player mode? Like, seriously? Not even the PS1 or PS2 versions have it?
I never saw the ps2 game of this in the compilation
@@DomenicSpinale it’s the same as the psp version pretty much
22:00
I gotta say... the CDI version doesn't look that bad actually.
they used the same crappy cartoon artist for the intro that they used for half the cdi's games it looks like though
@@Pythoner I mean i cant blame the cartoon artist for his take on the Lemmings intro. It actually looks pretty impressive.
I think for me the Spectrum wins for sound, surprisingly. Shame about the gameplay but the music really has character.
Jesus whats up with the tinny sound with the snes version..
Satellaview Version is Probably Just Like Snes
I thought 1991 was MCMXCI in Roma Numeral date
cancan 💯 cancan
Colors are wrong in ega pc version
SNES VERSION :D
Wheres the ps2 version and the ps3 version
47:07
This is the psp version
Yeah but I saw a evolution of lemmings and it said the psp version is also on ps2 and ps3
I know
And wheres the apple ii gs version
I feel extreme remorse for any child that had to grow up with the ZX spectrum
The ZX Spectrum wasn't all bad. It was comparable in price to the Atari 2600 despite being a home computer rather than just a game console, it had more than a few good original games, and it had plenty of decent or at least playable ports.
the vast majority of them absolutely loved it
I like SNES version.
お待たせ 待った？
Hey retrosutra we need to talk on discord
missed : ios android
