Lemmings Chronicles Demo Version

------------------------------------------
1st U.S. release - 12.8.1994 version US1.0
------------------------------------------

Welcome to the demo version of Lemmings Chronicles from
DMA Design & Psygnosis. This demo contains 3 playable levels from
this great new game. 

The full game has 90 levels ( + practice level & rolling demo levels ),
more creatures, more great tunes, SVGA front end screens,
animated 3D sequences, and much more.

This demo is copyrighted freeware - you can copy it and pass it 
around, but we still own the copyright... Soooo, if you decide to 
include this demo in a shareware collection, please do not charge 
anything for it (other than reasonable media costs), and include this
readme file.

Sound
-----

This demo version supports SoundBlaster-compatible sound cards only. Use
the install program to tell it your IRQ, DMA, etc.

The full game adds Gravis UltraSound support, and the CD-ROM version uses
high quality CD audio tracks.

Memory
------

We recommend 570K free DOS memory to run this demo with a sound card,
and 510K without.
In addition, you will need around 2MB of free EMS memory. To get this, you
must have an expanded memory manager, such as EMM386.EXE, in your CONFIG.SYS.

Playing The Game
----------------

If you are a seasoned Lemmings player, you will find Chronicles a
wee bit different at first, but you'll soon get the hang of it.

If you have not played a Lemmings game before, beware ! You are about
to get hooked like millions before you !

Your aim is to get as many lemmings as possible from the entrance of each
level to the exit. To do this, you apply skills such as walk, block, jump, 
etc. to individual lemmings by clicking on them with the mouse cursor.

The control panel at the bottom of the screen shows the current skill.
Additional skills can be gained by lemmings when they pick up tools - these
are the red blocks which are scattered about the levels.

A useful tip is that you can use the right mouse button to highlight
individual lemmings, thus making them easier to pick out from the crowd.
Clicking the right mouse button in mid-air will cause the next tool-carrying
lemming to be highlighted. Clicking it directly on a lemming will highlight
him.

Also, the mole in the Egyptian area can be co-erced into doing your 
digging for you. Just place a few blocks in front of him to get him
going.

Action Replay
-------------

Lemmings Chronicles' special action replay feature is included in this
demo. If you make a mistake in a level, you can replay your actions by
pressing 'R'. Fast-forward & Paws can be used during the playback. You can
interrupt it at any time to continue playing. You will then, however, be in
Learner mode. In the full game, replays can be transferred to/from disk.


We hope you enjoy this demo. If you do, why not treat yourself to a copy of
the full game, available from all good software stores from December 1994.
