Pretty cool - of course what struck me was that their own
recommendation is to play on a 500Mhz+ i386 machine a game that coded
natively (vs scripted) plays smoothly on a 7.16MHz 68000.
That's a lot of overhead.

Yes, although I keep seeing Flash remakes of old 8-bitter games which would
have run on hardware at 2MHz or less, and they don't run particularly well
even on this laptop's 1.4GHz CPU... yet I'm sure Adobe would love it if
everything in the world was a bit of Flash code, just as much as Google want
everything to run within a web browser. I find that kind of 'progress' rather
depressing :-(

OMG :)
I have Lemmings on the Megadrive, played a few levels at school (badly) on Acorn
Archemedes, and have (and completed) various versions on the Amiga.
I'm back in heaven... and perhaps this would suit the *cough* I-Pad *cough*
perfectly.
The only version I lack, and would love, is the Spectrum one... just to see purple
Lemmings :)

A 500MHz CPU to play Lemmings? The modern world is a cold place.

A 500MHz CPU to play Lemmings? The modern world is a
cold place.
I remember playing it on my first PC: A NEC UltraLite 286 LAPTOP with
CGA (or EGA?) grey LCD and a
20MB harddisk. The machine was ideal to play lemmings. The NiCd accu lasted some hours as
well. And
it had the same size as a current 14" laptop. I loved Lemmings! Was the only useful
application for
my Logitech serial mouse....
