335550 2005-03-19 01:46:00 Somebody knows where I can find the very old computer game Leeming ? Sweetlady (7644)
335551 2005-03-19 02:46:00 Try searching for "Lemmings", which I think is probably what you have in mind. ;)

Very popular, versions for all sorts of computers.

335552 2005-03-19 02:50:00 Hi Lady. Do you mean Lemmings - the diggers,builders and what-not?
You reminded me that I have it on an old machine and I've just started it up for the first time for a long time. Great game. About 4-5 years ago I wrote to the UK firm that released the early CD about replacing/purchasing a new copy because our original was damaged. They sent a nice reply, advising that they had sold the rights to the programme. Correspondence to the new rights holders got no reply. ;)

335554 2005-03-19 03:14:00 I did a search for Lemmings, but couldn't find a online store selling the original game. Lot's of new and improved versions, but not the original. Your best bet might be to advertise locally on a online classified, trade/sell/buy website and see if anyone wants to off load their old program. If you are planning to run it on a PC platform, you will most likely need to be running a older Windows version for compatibility reasons.

Before anyone suggests to try www.trademe.co.nz, sweetlady is not from the Southern Hemisphere ;)

335557 2005-03-19 03:17:00 Great!

I found it with limewire program.

That's easier when you have the right spelling...lolol :DYou do realise that it is a commercial game and not freeware? Didn't realise you were looking for pirated versions of this game ...

335558 2005-03-19 03:22:00 its freely available from the major Abondonware sites,Granted that doesn't make it legal but they mostly have a policy of removing any software if requested by the copyright holder, If they don't get asked to remove it they then consider it abondened.

Strange logic i know, but they get to stay online....

335559 2005-03-19 05:36:00 So how would you play a game like this in XP?
