INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the crazy mixed up world
of
3D Lemmings!
You and you alone are responsible for helping scores of friendly, innocent and
harmless little Lemmings reach safety. You and you alone will be to blame if they end
up drowning, burning, or exploding into Lemming bits. Think you can handle it? Eh?
Congratulations! If you’re reading this far, you’ve decided that you CAN handle such
awesome responsibility and you’re ready to put your best mouse-clicking-finger
forward for the challenge. Be prepared to gasp in wonder at the glorious 3D
landscapes, and be ready to chortle helplessly as Lemmings stream off walls into the
sea or pour down hillsides to an untimely end. That’s the thing about this game you
see. You might just find it a little too tempting to lead the gormless blighters round
the wrong corner and off to Lemmings heaven...
But you must resist the temptation! The future of Lemmingdom is in YOUR hands.
So get serious, furrow your brow, and don’t laugh. The Lemmings need your help.
The Lemmings will appear on each level of the game by falling through a trapdoor
into a dangerous and hostile environment. They will blunder around, bumping into
walls and other obstacles, following each other even if it means wandering into a
pretty obvious death trap. You have to lead them out of the level by giving them the
skills and powers which will help them reach safety. As you progress through the
levels the environments will become ever more difficult and challenging, but your aim
is always to save as many Lemmings as possible. Hopefully you’ll rescue enough to
advance to the next level.
So put down your pastrami double swiss anchovy and cream cheese pizza, knock
back your can of Mexican fermented pepper juice and dive headlong into the huge
pulsating world of
3D Lemmings.
There’ll be laughter and there’ll be tears, but
beware!
You won’t sleep for a year.
INSTALLATION
IBM PC CD-ROM Loading Instructions
Place the CD into the CD-ROM drive and select the CD drive from the DOS prompt,
typically D:>.
To configure the game for your system type
setup
and press
enter.
This will allow you to choose the correct sound card and other details specific to your
machine.
When you are satisfied with your selections press escape to return to DOS.
The setup program will save a small file to C:\LM3D.CD\LM3D.CFG which holds the
configuration information.
To play the game, type
L3D
from the DOS prompt.
You should be aware that it is possible to alter a few of the game features to suit
your system at this point. Instead of typing
L3D
from the DOS prompt to start the
game as described above, you are able to type the following commands:
L3D<space>a
turns off the sound in the rendered animation sequences.
L3D<space>l
will give you low resolution Lemmings.
L3D<space>sn
(where
n
is a number between 0 and 64) will control the size of the
sample buffer. This means that if you choose a lower number, there will be fewer
sound effects - this will save a lot of base memory should this be necessary.
Also be aware that there are 2 video modes available in
3D Lemmings.
Using the
wrong one on your machine will result in poor quality graphics. If you find that the
quality of the graphics is poor, you should change to the other video mode. Refer to
the section headed
Configuration Screen
for further details.
Note:
The game requires between 430KB and 560KB of conventional memory depending
upon the sound configuration selected, and 3MB of EMS (expanded memory). That
is, in your CONFIG.SYS file, the EMM386 line should include at least the following:
<drive>:<path>\EMM386.SYS 2688.
If played on a machine with eight or greater megabytes of RAM, and the value of
your EMS line in your CONFIG.SYS is 5632 or greater then the game will
automatically use higher resolution graphics for the Lemmings.

CONTROLS
You can play
3D Lemmings
using a mouse, a keyboard, or a combination of the two. We
recommend that you use the keyboard to move the camera positions through the 3D
world when selecting your view points, and a mouse to actually play the game. For the
full breakdown of keyboard functions, see the chapter headed
Keyboard Commands.
MAIN MENU
The main menu is your gateway into the 3D Lemmings world. Are you sure you want
to go in? We can’t guarantee your sanity, and you may find yourself tearing out hair
and chewing your fingernails down to the knuckle. Still want to play? Then read on...
There are five icons on the main menu. You choose the one you want by moving the
mouse pointer to it and then LEFT clicking. If you are not using your mouse, you can
use the keyboard to move the pointer - see the chapter headed Keyboard
Commands for the relevant keys.
Play:
Choosing this icon or pressing the ‘f1’ key will take you to a screen showing all
the levels in this difficulty that you can play. When you first play the game, only the
initial level in this difficulty rating will be displayed for you to choose. If you have
already completed some levels (shown in green) you will be able to pick any of these
to play again, or you can pick the first level which hasn’t been completed (shown in
red). If there are more levels to choose from than will fit on the screen then you can
scroll through the levels by LEFT clicking on the arrows at the top and bottom of the
screen. This screen also shows the most Lemmings you managed to save and your
best time for each level.
Code:
This will bring up the Password Screen. You must then enter the code for the
level you wish to play. If the code is valid you will be taken directly to the selected
level. If it’s invalid, a message will be displayed and you will be taken back to the title
screen. The ‘f2’ key also activates this function.
Options:
This function takes you to the Configuration Screen. This allows you to alter
some of the game’s parameters to suit the system you are playing on. See the
chapter headed Configuration Screen for further details. The ‘f12’ key also activates
this function.
Level Select:
You can alter the difficulty of the game by choosing a skill rating from
four available choices. These are FUN, TRICKY, TAXING and MAYHEM. There is also
a practice mode which allows you to have a go at dealing with all the different skills
and obstacles in 3D Lemmings. A LEFT click will cycle through the skill ratings. If you
are using a keyboard, the UP and DOWN cursor keys increase and decrease the skill
ratings respectively.
Exit:
This function will quit the game. The ‘Esc’ key also activates this function.

PRACTICE MODE
The practice mode in 3D Lemmings allows you to have a go at dealing with all the
skills and special obstacles you will come across during the game. You will find it very
useful to practice all the skills and obstacles and just experiment moving your
viewpoint around.
To select practice mode, move the pointer to the Level Select icon on the title
screen. LEFT click to increase skill levels, RIGHT click to decrease them. Stop once
you have selected ‘Practice’. You can also use the UP and DOWN arrow keys on the
keyboard to do this.
With ‘practice’ selected, LEFT click on the Play icon, or press the ‘f1’ key.
You will be taken to a screen which shows you every skill icon and every special
obstacle included in the game. As you move the pointer across the icons, the
function of each icon will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. To choose one of
the icons, simply move the pointer over it and LEFT click.
Having chosen a skill, you will be taken to a revolving view of the level along with the
skill/function name, the number of Lemmings supplied, the number of Lemmings to
be saved, the release rate, time allowed, and the skill rating. Along the bottom of the
screen are 3 icons: ‘Continue’ which allows you to play the practice level, ‘Demo’
which runs a demonstration of the level, and ‘Menu’ which takes you back to the
practice menu.
You play the practice level just like a normal level, except that there will be a BIG
pointer indicating exactly where to apply the skill. Make sure you read the appropriate
manual sections so you are familiar with allocating skills and moving the cameras.
OBJECTIVE SCREEN
Once you begin the game, you will be taken to a screen which gives a few details
about the level you’re about to play. The picture will give you a flavour of the level’s
style, while the text will give you the level title and its number.
LEFT
clicking the mouse or pressing the ‘f1’ key will play the level.
RIGHT
clicking the mouse or pressing the ‘f2’ key will take you back to the title
screen.
Pressing the ‘Enter’ key will show a rotating view of the level along with some extra
information. This tells you the level title, the number of Lemmings available, the
number of Lemmings you have to rescue, and the difficulty rating.
