For those who may not know, Lemmings can be had for $7.95 if you have a 'decent' magazine shop near you... It was included (free) with the December 1990 Amiga Format magazine. It can still be back ordered... look in Amiga World for places that sell it (Amiga Format)... its a cool no-nonsense british publication that pulls no punches in dealing with software (often you see adds for games right next to articles that rip that game to shreds...) This is the same Amiga Format edition that had the first level of the Total Recall game included with it... all I know is $8.00 for the magazine + game has got to be less than whatever it sells for as a stand alone...

Errrrr..... I don't think Amiga Format has ever included the full version of Lemmings on its coverdisk. They *did* provide a 3-level demo however. I do agree with you about the magazine though. It has to be the best Amiga mag available in the UK. (I buy it every month).

You have to be kidding me. You don't honestly think Amiga Format would give the whole game away, do you? If you look real close at the cover you will see it say that it is a PLAYABLE DEMO with only 3 LEVELS out of the total of 100 in the release. I have the mag as well. -Moriland -- | hastoerm@vela.acs.oakland.edu | __ | | | __/// Viva Amiga! | | Founder Of: Evil Young | \XX/ | | Mutants For A Better Tomorrow | "Single Tasking: JUST SAY NO!" |

Bzzt. Try again. The Amiga Format coverdisk had a 40-50k preview of it. Does 3 levels. There are 150 levels on the full game. That's quite a difference.
