I know it's probably a long shot, but I am wondering if the Lemmings arcade game's prototype is available for download anywhere. I'd like to see how Lemmings was translated to a coin-op format.

Assuming you have a basic command of French, you can download it from PlanetEmu for play with MAME.

If French isn't your forte, just go to MAME > MAME (CHD & Samples excluded) > L > Lemmings (US Prototype) > Telecharger.

After that, you'll need to get the MAME emulator, which is available here.

I've played it myself, it seems to be about three-fifths complete - the game engine is there and fully functional albeit with a few graphics glitches here and there, and some menus still need niftified.

Wow, I didn't expect you could find a prototype arcade game available in MAME.  Gotta try it out some time.

Thanks.

Well, except for the "Level Selection" screen, it looks done; wonder why they didn't finish it.

lemmings arcade? hah never knew it existed.

I have probably the only board left in existance now.  B)

Gotta be worth something these days... wonder if its worth insuring!   :D

I rescued it from DMA when they shut down and moved from Dundee to Edinburgh... that and a 3DO devkit!  I should have taken Dave's monster cart... but I didnt think of it....oh well.
