The decompressed AdLib.DAT files contains the titles for the music files, although several of them have been updated to their current titles to better fit what the song actually is. The DAT files can be decompressed with this program. This rip should be updated once the original music files have been properly extracted. The VGM rip was made by logging the AdLib data from DOSBox. The original music files are in the AdLib.DAT and TandySnd.DAT files and have yet to be ripped properly. The CD audio would eventually also be included in the 3DO and Philips CD-i versions in 1994. Currently, only the AdLib recording has been made.īoth Lemmings and Oh No! More Lemmings would eventually be bundled together on one CD starting in 1993, while including Colin Anderson's Redbook Audio tracks of the tunes that play in both games but at the cost of their AdLib and Tandy 3 Voice soundtracks. The music could be played either on AdLib or any other OPL2 compatible, or on the Tandy 3 Voice. However, this pattern is interrupted on four special levels, E1M22, E2M14, E3M15, and E4M22 which do have custom music. Music is not tied to specific levels and simply cycles through tracks 2-18 as you beat each level.

The original soundtrack was composed by Tim Wright and Brian Johnston, and their music was arranged for the DOS port by Tony Williams. Lemmings features a combination of unique songs, nursery rhymes, classical pieces, and covers from other video games. And since they only give you just enough lemmings to finish the stage, a single mistake forces you to restart the entire level. It stops being about figuring out the puzzle, and starts being about how accurately you can time your clicks. However, by the time you reach the last levels, the game becomes aggravatingly difficult. The next 20 teach you more of the advanced tactics and require you to get creative. Each stage increases in difficulty the first 20 stages or so are relatively easy and teach you the basics of the game. You do this by giving the lemmings various jobs like digging, climbing, building, blocking, etc. Because they simply walk forward, regardless of the hazards that lie ahead of them, you must change their behavior to keep them from falling, drowning, burning, being squished, and any other manner of horrible death. Lemmings is a puzzle game where you try and safely lead a line of lemmings to the exit of a dangerous room. For other games in the series, see Lemmings.
