Egyptian #1: TWO'S COMPANY

The 1st lemming will land from the upper right entrance. When he walks to the
right a little ways, make him digger. Go to the upper left entrance and choose
any Ground Removing Skill (GRS) in the inventory and have the lemming cut
through the wall on the right. Choose another GRS and have a lemming from the
bottom entrance cut through the wall on his right. Similarly choose other GRS's
and have lemmings cut thru to the left wall above the lower entrance (or to the
right, if you prefer) and the remaining walls on the right.

Egyptian #2: GLUED TO THE GOAL!

When the 1st lemming from the lowest entrance gets to the right end of the
large block in the floor with a picture of a beetle, make the 2nd lemming an
Attractor. Go up to the top entrance and make the leader a Glue Pourer. Go to
the bottom floor again and make the leader a Jumper, then a Flame Thrower, then
a Platformer (to get over the water). When he gets up to the top of the ramp on
the right, make him a Glue Pourer twice. When he walks up to the end of the
next ramp and turns around, make him a Platformer. While he's doing that have
any lemming from the top entrance Flame Throw 3 times to get to the exit. Make
the lemming coming from the opposite direction a Flame Thrower to get to the
exit. Have anyone from the middle entrance Stomp through to the lower entrance.
Release the Attractor by making him a Jumper.

Egyptian #3: LABRYNTH OF FUN

Make the 3rd or 4th lemming an Attractor. Release the leader by making him a
Jumper. Make him a Platformer before he can go down the steps leading down to
the right. He will fall down a fairly long shaft and yell "OUCH"! A little later
on he will fall down a shorter shaft and walk to the right. When he turns to
the left again, make him Platform over the next two gaps. When he gets to the
Sphinx, make him a Fencer. When he starts fencing go up and release the
Attractor. When the Fencer finishes, make him a Fencer once more. When he
finishes this time, make him a Scooper.

Egyptian #4: SPIRALLING DNA

This level pretty well speaks for itself. Make the first lemming a Stacker as
soon as he touches down. Make the next lemming a Twister when he reaches the top
of the ramp and before he can turn left. You must now use the fan to guide the
Twister up to the right at an angle, then straight across (the easy part) so he
cuts between the 2 pits - one above the other - then up at an angle again to
the exit. If he's still whirling when he gets there, blow him straight up.

Egyptian #5: ECHO OF LIGHT

Make the lead lemming a Slider and Rock Climber, then have him Bash through the
palm tree. When he slides down the pedestal on the right side, make him a
Stomper, then make him Bash through the left wall. When gets through it, make
him a Glue Pourer. As he's walking across the glue, make him a runner, then
make him Bash through the wall on the right, Jump over the pit, and Bash thru
the next wall. Now in successive Jumps make him Jump across the pit, Jump past
the exit, Jump by the exit again (going left this time), and over the pit. Have
him Jump over the next large pit. When he turns back to the right, make him a
Glue Pourer before he arrives at the large pit again. Now release the rest of
the lemmings by having someone Stomp through the low end of the ramp on the
left.

Egyptian #6: RUPER'Z QUESTLING

When the 4th lemming gets down to the pit under the entrance, make him an
Attractor. When the leader gets to the top of the pyramid, make him a Filler
over and over again until every pit and depression ahead of him is filled with
sand. When he gets back to the small pit ahead of where the water was, make him
Rope to the ledge above, then release the Attractor. (Now wasn't that fun? And
the easiest solution and execution yet?)

Egyptian #7: THE EGYPT COTTAGE

Make the first lemming a Parachutist and Swimmer. When he walks left, make him
a Ballooner. Blow him over the ramp on the left side. Now go to down to the
bottom and await his descent to take him down to where you're waiting. When he
comes into sight, blow him over to the sloped platform between the 2 water
tanks. He will be walking to the right when he lands. When he gets over on the
down slope, make him a Rock Climber and a SuperLem in that order. (If he falls
into the water on the right side he will swim across and climb out. As soon as
he is on the bank, be sure he is a Rock Climber and make him a SuperLem). As a
Superlem, he must be guided up and to the left so he lands on the
ramp below the colorful column above. He will climb up to the top of the
column and then start to Parachute down. Blow him over to the right side of the
exit. When he drops off the wall again and turns to the left, make him a
JetPacker and blow him on to the ledge above and to the left. He will climb
to the top of the wall. When he starts to chute down, blow him over to the
UPPER LEFT half of the Sphinx. When he walks to the top of the head, make him
a Laser Blaster to release the lemmings above. You can ignore all those who go
to the left. Make a lemming a Stomper right next to the right foot of the
Sphinx which will release everyone except the Rock Climber/Parachutist. When he
gets to the top of the wall and starts to chute down, blow him over to the LOWER
RIGHT half of the Sphinx so he will fall thru the stomped opening. When he
walks off the platform on the left, blow him over to the wall again on the
right side of the exit.

Egyptian #8: HEROE'Z QUEST

When the lead scout (our hero here) walks left, make him Jump over the little
block on the left. Have him Stomp twice. When he gets down lower and drops into
a little notch, as he walks left in the notch, make him a Jumper. When he falls
into the next notch below, make him a Fencer as he walks left. When he walks to
the right again, make him a Jumper then a Fencer to destroy the small block on
the platform. When he walks to the right again, make him a Jumper then a
Stomper before he turns to the left. Before he can Stomp all the way through,
make him a Fencer. When he turns to the left again, make him a Jumper after he
walks back down the ramp a short distance. When he turns back to the right,
make him PoleVault up to the ledge on the right. When he turns left again, make
him Jump to the next ramp. He'll have two more short Jumps to make (one to the
right, and one to the left) before he heads up over the roof of the exit. Make
him Platform over the gap on the left, then Scoop to the left (watch out for
the metal block over head when he starts Scooping - 'nuff said). When he breaks
through the wall, make him a Platformer. Now release the rest of the lemmings
by having someone Stomp down through at the only place he can.

Egyptian #9: Make the 1st lemming a Stacker as soon as he touches down. When he
completes stacking and pauses, make him a Jumper. When he gets between the
metal blocks on the right, make him a Stomper. When he is down to the 2nd
layer of blocks, make him a Basher. When he gets almost to the metal block on
the right, make him a Stomper again. When he gets down to the metal block or
just above it, make him a Basher to the right. When he is clear of the metal
blocks below, make him Stomp down to the next metal block. When he walks all
the way left, make him a Bomber. Then make him Stomp down to the next metal
block. Once again, make him a Bomber on the left side, then make him Bash left.
When he gets above the next platform below, make him a Stomper. Make him
Platform all the way across the gap. After he completes the platform, turns
around and comes back, make him a Basher. When he is all the way over the
second block on his right, make him a Stomper then a Basher. Go up and
release everyone else by having someone Bash through the block on the right.

Egyptian #10: PYRAMID OF DESPAIR!

Make the 1st lemming a Rock Climber, then make him a Hopper to get across the
stepping stones over the pit underneath. He'll walk down a set of stairs. When
he turns around make him Jump back up on the stairs. When he gets about 5 or 6
steps from the top, have him fire a Mortar round. Now he'll go back down the
stairs again. Make him Jump back up on them a 2nd time (use a Shimmier skill).
This time he will drop into the pit below the hole created by the explosion. As
soon as he's in the pit, make him a Glue Pourer twice in succession. Now comes
the hard part. You must use a succession of Sand Pourers in the pit with the
rest of the Lemmings to release them out the left side without trapping any of
them, which is mandatory to getting the gold medal.


Sports #1: CECI N'EST PAS UNE PIPE

NOTE: If this is your first look at the SPORTS World, the exit is a golf green
with a flag in the cup. This first level is very cleverly designed and is fun
to watch. You will lose a few lemmings but still get a gold medal. This entire
set of levels is a bit more challenging than most levels in The Tribes (in my
opinion).

The lemmings will start by being transported by 2 trampolines and a jet of
steam. Make the leader a Flame Thrower and have him burn a hole through the
pipe on his right. The next time the lemmings land, immediately make someone
a Bomber. Now watch the action. (The lemmings who are lost are caused when too
many lemmings hit the trampoline below at the same time and overload it. I
lost three). The lemmings will finally end up on a platform under a red
feathered dart stuck into a red checkered block. The first one to reach the
pipe on the left should burn through it and the next one to the left as well.
Then they're home free with a gold medal.

Sports #2: SCHOOL SPORTS DAY

Make the lead lemming a Scooper to the right of the entrance. As soon as the
lemmings begin to walk down the ramp underneath, make 2 of them Fillers to fill
the pit below. Make someone a Flame Thrower to burn a hole through the wall on
the right. Now use 3 Filler skills to fill the pit on the right side of the
wall. As soon as someone walks up on the ledge on the right side of the pit,
make him a Roper and have him set the grappling hook high up on the left side
wall. When someone gets up to the ramp on the left side, have them Rope up to
the ramp ahead of the exit flag. To release the lemmings trapped in the pit in
the lower left corner, the easiest way is to make someone a Twister and guide
him through to the right. If he fails to get all the way through, finish the
job with Flame Throwers.

Sports #3: THE OCTATHALON!

When the leader gets to the tennis racket, make the next lemming an Attractor.
Free the leader if necessary by making him a Jumper. When he drops off the
landing platform, make him Platform once to the right. He will turn back to the
left at the pool table. When he drops into the pit make him a Filler 3 times to
get out of it. When he walks to the right, let him walk down to the next
platform and have him Platform to cover the hole in the floor ahead of the pipe.
Now leave him alone until he gets to the ledge above the red feathered dart.
Make him Platform once from the ledge. Go back and release the other Lemmings.

Sports #4: RRRACKETEERZ!

The lemmings will follow a very lengthy route to the exit. Make the leader
jump over the hole in the top rope, then over the red knob. Now make him a
Runner and leave him alone until he gets to the gap above the green checkered
block. Make him Platform across the gap. The next time he will need your help
is when he gets to the right side of the water tank below. When he arrives have
him Rope up to the green checkered block. When he gets to the left edge of the
block have him Rope down to the steel block. Now go back and release the other
lemmings by making someone a Fencer to cut through the small block ahead of the
tennis racket.

Sports #5: BLOW BACK....

Make the 1st lemming a Stomper to get through the pipe below the entrance. The
jet of steam will boost everyone up to a platform to the right of the entrance.
At this time you may want to speed up the game until the last lemming has
gotten on the platform, then quickly slow the action to normal speed. You will
now have about 4 chances to get one of the lemmings on the platform to Jump the
gap over to the trampoline and hence boosted up to the top where he will use
a small red valve to shut off the steam jet used at the beginning. (No, there
is no "shutoff steam jet skill" - for once a lemming doesn't have to be told
what to do). Now make someone a Stomper in the middle of the platform where all
the lemmings are waiting. The first one who walks to the left and drops into a
pit created by the course of the steam pipes should be made a Filler. When a
lemming goes far enough left, have him Stomp down to land on the pipe ahead of
the steam jet. This will kick everyone upstairs from where they can walk to the
exit.

Sports #6: DOUBLE TROUBLE

When the 1st lemming walks to the left end of the landing platform, but before
starting down the ramp, make him Rope to the upper left corner. One lemming will
get by. Make him a Rock Climber, then make him a Fencer to get into the long
vertical shaft on the left. As soon as the opening is created, make him a
Jumper before he can carve any material on the left side side of the shaft. When
he climbs up the shaft and turns back to the right, you can either make him a
Platformer or a Jumper to get across. He will then climb up on the right side
and get on the platform on the right. When he turns back to the left, make him
Platform across to the ramp leading to the exit. Before he gets to the exit,
make him a SuperLem and guide him to the bottom of the ramp on the right. The
instant he lands, make him an Exploder before he can get up. He should explode
in time to create an opening over the lemmings trapped below. When they come out
make someone a Fencer through the obstacle. Result: Gold medal.

Sports #7: THE SUN SIGN SELECTION

Have the lead lemming Jump over the little green block, then on to the
metal block and over to the trampoline from where he will be propelled over to
the ropes strung between 2 red poles. Have him Jump the break in the top rope,
then over the red post on the right. When he goes up the ramp and arrives at
the gap, make him a Shimmier. When he gets to the other side make him a Pole
Vaulter. He must land on the metal block ahead of the trampoline. Make him Jump
on the trampoline and fall down the shaft on the right. Have him Jump over the
golf ball, then make him a Shimmier again. While waiting you can use the fan
to get the chain going. Have him Jump across the tennis ball and onto the
chain (no small feat - you just have to be lucky). Get the chain going again
and drop him on the left side. Let him walk to the left (don't use the
trampolines). Have him Jump over the small gap in the red checkered block and
when he enters the water make him a Kayaker (this guy is having so much fun
it's a shame he'll not be able to go on with his friends - sigh.) After he gets
out of the Kayak and walks to the wall and turns around, make him a ballooner.
Guide his balloon up over the top platform with the slot in the bottom. Have
him Platform over the gap on the right and bid him farewell, good show, chin up
and all that. Now back to the landing platform. Select someone in a group of
lemmings moving to the right and make him a Magno Booter (ta da!). When he gets
below the landing platform make him a Laser Blaster and have him blast through
to the left of the green block above.

Sports #8: RUN THE RISK

Make the lead lemming a Pole Vaulter and have him land on the "U" shaped pipe
on the right. When he drops down and heads left make him Platform across the
large gap. When he gets to the ramp with the green checkered block under it,
make him Platform once to the wall on the left. When he turns left, make him
an Archer and have him set two arrows back to back just under the edge of
the ramp on the right. (Have him delay the second arrow so it will slant down
some). When he walks to the right again, make him Build ONCE up to the tail of
the 2nd arrow. When he walks across the large gap again to the other side, make
him a Stomper and have him Stomp down as far as the 1st green line in the
stonework on his right. When he gets to that line, make him a Fencer. When he
completes fencing, make him a Builder twice. Make him Build across the next
two gaps. Just before he drops down to the exit flag, make him a Stomper. When
he's about half way down, make him a SuperLem, but DON'T MOVE YOUR CURSOR
anywhere. Now go back to the landing platform and have someone Stomp through
the green block just to the left of the metal portion of the platform.

Sports #9: THE NERVOUS NETWORK!

Make the 1st scout Jump out of the pit and make him a Glue Pourer to get across
the water. As he is walking across the "glue" bridge make him a Slider. When he
gets to the other side, make him a Bomber. When he turns around to the left
make him a Rock Climber. (You can speed up the game now if you wish). When he
has climbed almost to the top of the wall on the right, reduce speed, select a
Shimmier skill and make him one when he finishes climbing. (Speed up the game
once more if you want). Just before he gets to the wall on the left, reduce
speed again if necessary, select a Jumper skill and make him one as soon
as he turns to the right. He will climb the green checkered block and slide
down into a "U" shaped pipe. When he is walking left, make him a Bomber. When
he gets to his feet, make him a Scooper. He will now make his way down to a
pipe with a red ball below and a green checkered block holding things together.
When he is on the checkered block make him Jump to the right. When he turns
around and gets back to the 90 degree pipe elbow, make him a Bomber. When he
gets to the floor below (you may have to make him a Jumper to get him down
there, depending on where he lands after the explosion), select a spot where
he can be made a Roper and turn back to set the grappling hook through the
opening in the pipe up to the top of the inverted triangle platform above the
checkered block. As soon as he shoots the rope make him a Roper again and make
him rope to a part of the platform above and to the right that only a climber
will be able to reach after walking up the rope.

Now go to the landing pit and make someone a Roper and have him rope to the
block on the right side of the pit. When the lemmings start to walk out of the
pit, make one of the leaders a Jumper twice to get him out in front of the pack.
When he gets on the green inverted triangle shaped platform, make him a Glue
Pourer. Now go over to the wall on the far right and check on the progress of
the climber and wait for him to reach the top again. When he does, make him a
Shimmier. Immediately pause the game and go back to the lemming pack; they
should be turning around at the wall on the left. (If you missed them all,
you'll have to wait for them to return). Make someone a Roper at the wall and
wait for all the lemmings to leave him before having him rope to the top of
the platform on the right. When he gets to the platform with the scooped out
hole above his head, make him a Roper at the wall on the left and have him
rope to the bottom of the scooped out opening. When he gets to the gap on the
next platform up, make him a Glue Pourer.

Sports #10: TAKE UP ARCHERY

(Or take lessons from Robin Hood!!)
This level is, in my opinion, an extremely difficult level to execute as it
requires very quick reaction times. Slowing your system in some manner may
help a little, but that's not a guarantee. Because of the speed of the runner
and the rather short distances involved, time is not a consideration.

Since there is no way to stall the lemmings, the leader will have to stay
ahead of them. As the lead scout drops from the entrance, make him a Runner and
make him Jump twice to get a lead on those who follow. Then Jump off the landing
platform. At the instant he stands up, make him an Archer and
have him put 2 arrows back to back (2nd arrow in the tail of the first) low on
the opposite wall. Then make him Jump over onto the arrows to turn him around.
(At this time he will jump on his own off the arrows and land stunned for a
moment before proceeding).

Next, have him jump the next gap and turn around and put 2 arrows (back to back
again) at the apex of the previous ledge on the left of the gap so those who
follow can cross over safely.

Repeat the procedure for the next gap, only you may need 3 arrows here.

When he gets even farther to the right and finds himself under a wide vertical
shaft, have him shoot an arrow almost straight up and slightly to the right so
the arrow will fall to his right and turn him around to the left. Immediately
make him a Roper and have him set the grappling hook into the platform ramp on
the left. Make him use 2 arrows to close the gap at the far left end of the
platform. At this point the pressure is off. Make the leader a Roper and have
him rope up to the left side of the exit platform.

Note: Keep rope lengths to a minimum as they do not appear to stretch as far
as in some other levels (which is probably to keep the leader from setting a
rope in the right side of the exit platform).
