  I've been seeing all of these msgs about how bad Lemmings is, and
that it was a port.  This, if you know ANYTHING about porting, is
NO port.  Think about it, this game has 100 little Lemmings on
the screen.  The ST wouldn't be able to do this without slowing
down much more than the Amiga.  Plus, if you people didn't notice,
this game is playing on a screen that is part hi-res (640x200) &
part 320x200.  The bottom is hires and the top is low-res (on game).
This requires very wild programming.  It is a first with that many
colors.  The ST OR EGA can't handle as many colors as our Lemmings
game has (OVER 16 for sure).  Lemmings was a fine production and
I think it will become a classic on all computer platforms.
