Lemmings and Dragon Ball Z are two entertainment references for an entire generation that has had a great time playing these two video games. Nobody had ever imagined combining them both, at least aesthetically, but it has now been done, leading to a video game like Lemmingball Z. Dragon Ball Z characters now fight in Lemmings. Lemmings is a puzzle video game developed by DMA Design and published by Psygnosis.It was released on 14 February 1991 for PC.The objective of the game is to guide a group of anthropomorphised lemmings through a number of obstacles to a designated exit.

Introduction
Lemmini isthe attempt to combine the playing sensation of the original Amiga version of Lemmingswith the improved graphics of the Win95 port to create the best possible Lemmingsexperience on all platforms that support a Java virtual machine.
Be aware that you need a copy of 'Lemmings for Windows (95)' to play Lemmini.
Download
If you don't have a Java runtime installed, you can find it here.Get and install the JRE (Java Runtime Environment) to run Java applications(as Lemmini).
Lemmingswill run on anything >= JRE1.5. The latest JRE (currently JRE8) is usually the best choice.
Lemmini (click to download the JAR archive)
After downloading, you can start it locally either by double clicking on it or manually using 'java -jar lemmini.jar'
If you want to create a desktop link to the JAR, you can use the following icons:
Icon for Windows
Icon for Mac
Installation
When starting Lemmini for the first time (or when updating to a new version with different resources) you will be prompted to select your 'WINLEMM' path and a destination path that the resources will be extracted to. You don't actually need to install Lemmings for Windows, it's enough if you enter the original CD-ROM or copy the WINLEMM path from the CD-ROM to your harddrive.
While this is a bit of a hassle, this step is necessary to not infringe the rights of the copyright holders. Indeed, Lemmings for Windows is still on sale here and there and usually a bargain .. I paid 5€ for my version.
Apart from that, Lemmini is pretty easy to use. Either start it with the Webstart link provided at my homepage which will installa desktop shortcut or download the JAR.
System Requirements
Lemmini should run fine on system with an 800Mhz CPU or above and a Java J2SE runtime environment installed (>=1.5). Lemmini will need at least 64MB of heap, so you should have at least 256MB of RAM, a soundcard for sound and a graphics card with support for high or true color modes. The desktop resolution should be at least 800x600 since the game window is 800 pixels wide.
Note that Lemmini was only tested on WinXP and on Linux in high and true color modes, I have reports that it runs on Mac OS X and Win98 (though there still might be some problems under Win98). Indeed it should run on every system supported by J2SE, including Solaris, but I can't test that.
Lemmini will also run in 256 color indexed mode, but only with reduced color quality. Note that on very low end machines, it might be a good ideato reduce the desktop color depth to 16bit mode as this might improve performance quite a bit.
Menus
FilePlayer
Select Player: select a player (becomes default player)
Restart Level - Restart current level.
Load Level - Load a level from an INI or LVL file.
Load Replay - Load a replay file created with Lemmini's replay function.
Enter Level Code - Enter an Level Code obtained by Lemmini (or the original Amiga game).
Sound - Enable/Disable Sound.

See the linked ApacheLicense for details.Note thatthere are also some sources included which are based on the work ofother people and thus have partly different license models:
- MicroMod Library by Martin Cameron (there's no license info in it and the page is down, but it was released under a proprietary OS license.
- GifEncoder Library by Jef Poskanzer released under a proprietary OS license (see source for details).
The whole source code, the icons and the patch files needed to build the JARare now stored in a Git repository hosted by Bitbucket.
I recommend to use SourceTree to handle the repository but there are several other tools and also Eclipse plugins.

how to make the game work? i dont know how to use the commands
Walter2020-07-07
I'm on Windows 10. Run LEMMINGS.BAT, VGA, High end PC worked for me, although the colors were (kinda) terrible. The game runs fine. Relived the times I played this on my mom's Nokia and destroyed the arrrows button.
petersohn2019-05-12
Sometimes it doesn't start. Randomly trying to execute the .bat files usually works after some time.
cdlvcdlv2018-08-30
When I press F1, F3 etc. my browser catches the key before so I cannot start the game.
Davborg822018-08-15
In DOS: Try the command lemmi (for lemmi.bat). Than choose VGA. Worked for me.
giorgio2017-07-24
molto bello questo gioco anche se ho perso al secondo livello
Scidhuv002017-07-13
Works for me in the emulator above, HOWEVER.
one - click into the dos box above before you press 1 or 2
Note that the executable used vgalemmi.exe doesn't work because it's looking for the cd driver that isn't available.
so when you get back to the command prompt run vlem2.exe
voila!

I could not get the game to start -- stuck at the '1 for vga, 2 for ega' screen, as pressing 1 or 2 did nothing.
