                   Lemmings 2 hard (All)

Here are a few tips for Monkey Island. No, Lemmings 2, actually!

First of all on most worlds you can get through to the end with
only one Lemming, making the game a lot easier. If you want to try
this on a world, kill all the Lemmings except 1 on the first
level.  When you complete the world do NOT accept 'Award Me!'.
Instead, return to the map and select the same world again. Return
to the first level (where you killed all the other lemmings) and
complete it again saving all the lemmings. When 'Award Me!' comes
up again, select it and you'll have a gold piece of talisman
without putting each lemming through all the levels!

If you want to change a Lemming's direction one way is to simply,
if you can, make him (or her!) build a wall, and when he is facing
the direction you want him to, quickly make him jump!

Use pause a lot, by pressing the P key, this way you don't have to
move the mouse to it costing you valuable split seconds, however
pausing the game does reset things like the fan, but you can
quickly reset that using the keyboard too.

The first thing you need to do when you start a level is to have
a good look around. If you played the first game, you should now
know a bit about the game designer's ways, sometimes the way is so
stupidly clear it's hard to see it, other times it's amazingly
fiendish and looks (too?) easy. Look around while pause is on,
don't waste the time on the clock, there is normally plenty of
time, but still, you don't wanna waste it.

Dear Bitmap,
You really must stop talking to yourself. They say it's the first
sign of madness, so you really should get some help before you
start to reply to yourself. Please. It's for your own good, if you
start to reply then you'll deny it forever.

BMK: Look, I never talk to myself - why don't YOU go and get help
you fool.....

To get a question answered or your knowledge/thoughts shared, all
you have to do is scribble down what you want to say and send it
to 'The Bitmap Kid' c/o SynTax.
