It leaves Lemmings them invade your Palm
We already know how to play in our Palm many emblematic games of PC: Quake, Doom, Duke Nukem, SimCity… we add to the list one more, in addition one to most addictive: Lemmings. Perhaps for youngest, than they do not know it, we see that the Wikipedia says on this game:
Lemmings is videojuego for the computer Commodore Amiga, designed by DMA Design and published by Psygnosis in 1990.
The game is placed between puzzle and the strategy in real time, and consists of controlling to units (lemmings) leading them through diverse obstacles (precipices, walls, mountains…) and with the aim of arriving at a final position. These units are enabled to realise a series of action, between which they count the one to construct stairs, to block the passage to others lemmings, to airdrop, etc. Also have the option to commit suicide (it assumes that for the case that or impossible to finish the game having lost too many lemmings).
The already immortal first level of Lemmings
Lemmings caused rage when it was sent, and world-wide is known. What perhaps as much people do not know is what is really lemming, and what really has of certain its fame of “suicidal”:
Lemming is a rodent that live in the tundras, in taiga and Arctic prairies, the north of the American continent, and in some regions of Eurasia, that feeds itself mainly on grass, roots and fruits. Its cycle of reproduction is characterized for being quite short, which together with the great fertility of the females produces frequent demographic explosions of the species, which they are compensated partly by the action of predators and the food shortage at certain times. This mammal constructs to tunnels and wells, which serve like madriguera and deposit to him to realise the food supplying.
The myth exists of which lemmings commits suicide in mass like part of a self-regulation mechanism of the nature. Nevertheless, resemblance thing is not demonstrated and it is considered that these deaths take place accidentally, due to the genetic stamp that owns this rodent and that determines its sense of the direction during the migrations. Its biological instinct induces to invariably move in a direction or concrete route to him, that is independent of the topológicos and climatic changes that can be produced in their ecosystem of natural form or by the hand of the man. Sometimes this brings about situations in which the groups of lemmings hurry invariablemete towards a river, a precipice or any other accident on the land.
The documentary one of Disney White Wilderness, winner of the Oscar, remarkably contributed to maintain this myth.
From the appearance of lemmings original, the saga has not done more than to grow, and in fact she has arrived to the present time, since a version for Sony PSP has become even.
The version of Lemmings for Palm recreates the original one for PC faithfully. So much with stylus can be controlled as with the directional DAP, it supports to screens monochrome color or, effects of sound and basic music, and memory card to even store the levels.
Some captures of the version of Lemmings for PalmOS
In the page of unloadings where we can lower the Lemmings for Palm, they inform to us that any Palm with 3,1 PalmOS or superior, and screen of 16 colors will be able to execute the program. The following equipment is not supported therefore: Tapwave Zodiac, Pilot 1000, Pilot 5000, Personal Palm, Palm Professional and IBM Workpad 10U. But any Palm will execute moderately recent it without problems.
This program is of gratuitous unloading, and brings the initial levels including. But we want to play all the levels that exist for Lemmings we will have to buy them.
So the nostalgic vein has waked up them, or simply they finish discovering this game, I recommend the totally complete page Lemmings Univer, where everything can be found on the Lemmings: tutorial, codes of level to go directly to the level that we want, unloadings, and until images done by fans. And it is that few games created so many addict ones as Lemmings. It is hour to redescubrir it in your Palm.
