Hello,

As you can all see from my .sig, I'm one of the programmers of Lemmings
(albeit on a PC,
but this is for a sin I commited long ago, my heart lies in the Amiga
community). I can
simply state that Lemmings would be HD installable, if it wasn't for the
fact that it would
be too easy too copy if it was AMIGADOS'd in any way. 

I've now got my flame proof clothing on, this is the Psygnosis party
line, and we at
DMA Design have to toe it like it or not. Flame me if you want.

If you will not by Lemmings just because it is not HD installable, then
you are missing
out on a good game, that is not disk intensive, uses all available RAM
(if >512k then
it caches the levels in high memory) and uses an extra drive if present.

I hope you enjoy it!!!!

Russell

P.S. In case you're wondering PC Lemmings is HD installable, but
requires a key disk, again
to prevent pirates.
