I don't like the proposed scheme, since it requires everyone to know what deaths are 'required' and which aren't. I always used to think that on the first 'blockers' level, you had to use 4 blockers - now I find that the fall to the exit is not too high, and it is possible to only use 3. What I'm saying is that the proposed scoring mechanism is too hard to use.(posted 8707 days ago)How about if instead we score the game as the number of lemmings saved, full stop? You're allowed to continue as many times as you like, but if you fail to complete any level then it's game over.
Just a suggestion, of course. And to be honest, I've not played lemmings enough in MAME to know how the credit thing works - I just played it a lot on Amigas, Atari ST's and such like a long time ago.
