: What exactly is Lemmin GS??????

It's an interactive work of art for the IIGS ;-)

Seriously, it's the latest game from Brutal Deluxe. It's modeled after, 
and is a tribute to, a game that is highly popular on many other computer 
systems. 

If a picture is worth a thousand words, a demo version of a game will 
speak volumes. So...I'd like to direct you to the ground ftp archive 
site, where you can download a demo version of Brutal Deluxe's LemminGS. 
That demo version includes the first 10 levels of the game, and it should 
answer any questions you may have about the game.

LemminGS, both the demo version and the complete version (which has 92 
challenging levels), requires a IIGS with at least 700k of available RAM 
after GS/OS loads. So, you need approx 2 megs of RAM. The game also 
requires that you launch it from System 6.0 or later. Although not 
required, a hard drive and an accelerator sure wouldn't hurt ;-) 

Brutal Deluxe programmed LemminGS as a way to say thanks to all those 
folks who have purchased their one and only commercial software product - 
Convert 3200...a speed demon of a IIGS graphics conversion program that 
costs all of $15. LemminGS is free to owners of Convert 3200, but it is not 
freeware. Both programs are available exclusively through Shareware 
Solutions II, and to help defray mailing costs for LemminGS, Shareware 
Solutions II asks for a $5 shipping/handling fee that'll cover the cost 
of the 3 disk set, labels, mailers and postage to anywhere in the galaxy.  

And, what you ask, is Shareware Solutions II? 

Shareware Solutions II is: an Apple II newsletter, a publisher of Apple 
IIGS software, a distributor of Apple II freeware/shareware, a 
distributor of numerous Apple II classic commercial software products, a 
distributor of several IIGS hypermedia CD-ROMs, a source for 700+ 
AppleWorks disks that were part of the now defunct National AppleWorks 
User Group, and on and on and on. For much more information than I could 
ever possibly pass on in a newsgroup, just point your favorite web 
browser at the Shareware Solutions II home page on the world wide web:
