History VideoGame / TheAdventuresOfLomax

* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: The {{Pirate}} [[DemBones Skeleton]] enemies attack Lomax by throwing their sword at him. Unfortunately for them, a simple SpinAttack from Lomax will knock the sword away harmlessly.

* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: The werewolves are giant humanoid creatures that jump at you when they see you. Hit them once and they turn into a tiny, embarrassed lemming. They do turn back into their werewolf self after a bit of time, however.

* DemBones: The skeleton enemies from the haunted ship levels.

* IncendiaryExponent: One helmet ability allows Lomax to throw his helmet except on fire. This kills all regular enemies in one hit, even the cowboys who normally take two.

* OurZombiesAreDifferent: The TechnicallyLivingZombie variant. The zombies you encounter in the second world are blue and do the ZombieGait at first, but start running angrily when hit once, and turn into normal lemmings when you hit them the second time. You can, however, kill those that pop out of the ground/coffins (since they start out in "angry" mode).

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Evil Ed causes boulders to appear on the stage, and you need to throw them at him in order to defeat him.

* MercyInvincibility: Standard for platformers, as long as you're wearing a helmet. It comes with a certain annoyance: if you get hit, your spare helmet that is placed in the slot at the top of the screen starts falling down; if you can't catch it in time, you are left with none and become a OneHitPointWonder.

* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: The werewolves are giant humanoid creatures that jump at you when they see you. Hit them once and they turn into a tiny, embarrassed lemming.

* TacticalSuicideBoss: The Airship. It fires evil lemmings on torpedoes at Lomax from the background... If they hit one of the background object stones, the torpedo explodes and the lemming flies back into the airship, damaging it instead.

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: The game is very generous in providing plenty of pots that pop out of the ground and contain either spare helmets or additional uses of an ability. It helps in situations where lacking a helmet or an ability would make the level {{unwinnable}}, and in such crucial moments, these pots will keep infinitely reappearing if you run out of either.

* OurZombiesAreDifferent: The TechnicallyLivingZombie variant. The zombies you encounter in the second world are blue and do the ZombieGait at first, but start running angrily when hit once, and turn into normal lemmings when you hit them the second time. You can, however, kill them in one hit if you hit them when they're jumping out of the ground.

* FloatingPlatform: Lomax can put floating wooden platforms down in order to reach higher areas.

* OurZombiesAreDifferent: The TechnicallyLivingZombie variant. The zombies you encounter in the second world are blue and do the ZombieGait at first, but start running angrily when hit once, and turn into normal lemmings when you hit them the second time.

* SuperDrowningSkills: If Lomax falls into water, he can still jump out once if you're fast enough. Fall into water for the second time or don't jump out fast enough, and he'll drown.

* EverythingsWorseWithBees: The bees from the third world, which mostly act as an obstacle flying in a predictable pattern.

* AWinnerIsYou: You defeat the BigBad and he falls down in a bunch of explosions. Then, [[ExpositionFairy The Old Wise Lorock]] pops in and tells you that you saved Lemmingland. Bye! Roll credits.

* TheWildWest: The third world, complete with cowboy enemies.

* CharacterTitle: Especially in the European versions, where it's simply called ''"Lomax"''.

'''''The Adventures of Lomax''''' (known in Europe as simply ''Lomax'') is a 2D PlatformGame and a [[SpinOff spin-off]] of the ''VideoGame/{{Lemmings}}'' series. It was made by Creator/{{Psygnosis}} in 1996 and is a SpiritualSuccessor to ''The Misadventures of Flink'', which has the same kind of gameplay. It was released on the original PlayStation and on PC.

* PasswordSave: After every level, you receive a code consisting of 8 symbols, which happen to be the classic PlayStation symbols. They're present ''even on PC.'' They preserve information like which level you reached and how many lives and continues you have.

* CheckPoint: Crossing a rope hanged between two sticks saves your progress on a level.

* MercyInvincibility: Standard for platformers, as long as you're wearing a helmet. It comes with a certain annoyance: if you get hit, a spare helmet that is placed in a slot at the top of the screen starts falling down; if you can't catch it in time, you are left with none and become a OneHitPointWonder.

* BonusStage: When you defeat 100 enemies, the exit at the end of the current level will bring you to a bonus stage, where you have a limited time to collect loads of money. The stage itself is made entirely out of money, too. No enemies to be found, and dying only brings you to the next level.

* BigBoosHaunt: The second world is a sort of a haunted forest with zombies, vampires, werewolves and such, with occasional levels near water and on haunted ship wrecks thrown in.

* VideoGameLives: You have a limited amount of lives. Should you run out of them, you have 3 continues available that bring you to the beginning of a level with 3 additional lives.

* SpinAttack: The only attack Lomax can use even without his helmet. Since nearly every enemy is susceptible to it and you are invincible to nearly every attack while you do it, you are very likely to keep using it without ever bothering to use the helmet attack instead.

You play as Lomax, a lemming hero who has to save the Lemmingland from Evil Ed, a bad lemming wizard who transforms lemmings into all sorts of monsters. In order to succeed in his quest, Lomax utilizes two of the classic lemming skills—builder and basher—as well as the magical abilities of his magic helmet.
