Not Only The Best Port Of Lemmings But The Prettiest Lemmings Hack On The Sega Mega Drive and Sega Genesis!

This port of Lemmings for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis has always held a special place in my heart, it has one of the greatest soundtracks to ever grace the console, the graphics are also very accurate to the Amiga original, this version also has more content than all the other ports on other consoles, plus this port is nostalgic to me my parents bought it for me way back in 1994 when I was 10 years old and it's always been a game with great replay value getting me to constantly revisit it every 2 or 3 years. I know all the solutions off by heart on account of replaying the game so many times over the course of 30 years.

This hack improves and corrects many aspects of this game making it the best one to play. The colours have all been improved in all the level tile sets including the special levels, in particular the dark red in the fire/hell tile sets really makes it look better, the icy blue level pillars have the correct black colour in the centre instead of the adjacent background blue of the retail version. I also like how many of the level title names have the correct names and there's lots of spelling typo fixes which is always welcoming.

The good thing is that this one can be played in PAL 50Hz as well, yeah the Lemmings and timer move slower but the music retains it's speed so it's all good. It gives the player more time to enjoy the music.

Well done JRussellRetroGaming! I encourage all Lemmings enthusiasts to give this one a go.

Anything Josho makes is a 5 out of 5 stars.
