You can't run games out of an archive, you need to unpack them first.

By the way,
there is a new remake of lemmings at reloaded it is 11mb (quite big for lemmings) but it praises to run smoothly and easy on windows xp and plus they have all the graphics enhanced you can try it.
I have another version of lemming that is only 552kb made by Wildfire software design and it works nice if you want it, here it is. it is also a remake of lemmings and oh no more lemmings.
Attachment 107
just decompress the .rar file and install the winlems setup file. directly on windows xp.

(to the admins: this lemmings version is completely freeware and i downloaded it from lemmings universe, it is available also at many other sites. this is my first time uploading an attachement and i hope it is completely legal what i am doing as i read the forum rules and it seems so, if not please correct this post and accept my apologies.)

Remakes are fine, but I think the creators would more appreciate linking to their official page instead of just putting up the archive.

Oh, Almost forgot

All work fine except for All New World of Lemmings, which I got from Abandonia, no sound if I run it from the VGALEMMI.EXE file but if I run it using DosBox I get a No CD error. Any tips?
