Lemmings

Post by Mike the Lab Rat »

Managed to find some downloads of three Lemmings games for Mac OS (they run in Classic).

Only problem.....there's no frigging instructions for the mouse/keyboard commands, and Google searches have turned up nothing but useless crap.

Anyone around here either remember the commands or knows of a link to a useful page that TELLS the keyboard/mouse commands?

Thanks.

Those games are awesome. didn't you have to use a mouse to do most of the tasks though? I was fairly sure you used the mouse to issue the commands to the lemmings and you'd click on the button for the task you wanted to assign and then on the lemming you wanted to do the task.

There are some web versions of that game.

Sure enough, that's how it goes. The keyboard is pretty much irrelevant, aside from quitting, pausing, and using arrows as an alternate to the mouse for choosing "task box."

My seven-year-old is definitely digging the game.
