The Adventures of Lomax (known in Europe as Lomax) is a spin-off video game of the Lemmings series. The player takes the role of Lomax, a lemming character that has to save his friends and animals from an evil doctor. The game was released for the PlayStation and Microsoft Windows in 1996. Kath Soucie provides the voice of Lomax.

Plot

Lomax is a lemming knight, whose friends have been transformed into monsters by "Evil Ed". His quest is to rescue them and put a stop to Evil Ed using his magical helmet.

Gameplay

This game inherits the gameplay and style which was seen in Erwin Kloibhofer and Henk Nieborg's previous title, Flink.[1] As Lomax, the player must navigate through four main worlds with three levels each, in a side-scrolling platform game. The enemies are brainwashed lemmings who have been turned into monsters taking the form of zombies, cowboys, and aliens. Like some other platformers, bumping into them kills the player's character. The player's main attack spins Lomax around, and can be used to both avoid being killed by bumping into enemies, and defeat them. When defeated, enemies are turned back into ordinary lemmings, and true to type, they then jump off the nearest ledge.[2] There are coins scattered throughout the levels that grant additional lives when enough are found. Magic helmets can also be found, which can be used as weapons and grant Lomax immunity from one attack, after which he loses the helmet.

In addition to the standard platforming, Lomax is also able to use several abilities featured in the original Lemmings, such as building bridges and blowing up obstacles, as well as others not found in the original.[2]

Reception

A reviewer for Next Generation gave the game a generally negative review, remarking that while "The Adventures of Lomax isn't all bad for a side-scroller", the storyline was uninteresting and the 2D platform genre had been played out.[5] Reviewers for GameSpot and Electronic Gaming Monthly, however, felt that a new 2D platform jumper was a breath of fresh air since there had been no new entries in the genre for a while.[3][4] They further remarked that the colorful graphics, smooth animation, and fun gameplay make it stand out even among other 2D platformers.[3][4] EGM{{'}}s Crispin Boyer said "it proves that PlayStation titles don't have to be 3-D to be good",[3] and GameSpot{{'}}s Hugh Sterbakov concluded that "though The Adventures of Lomax is not state-of-the-art, it is a genuinely fun ride."[4]
