Description

Embark on a nostalgic gaming journey with Lemmings, an iconic puzzle-platformer developed by DMA Design and published by Psygnosis in 1991. The game's primary goal is to guide a group of anthropomorphic lemmings through a series of challenging obstacles to a designated exit. To win, you must strategically assign a finite number of eight different skills to the lemmings, enabling them to alter the landscape, influence the behavior of other lemmings, or clear hurdles. This creates a safe passage for the rest of the troop. Lemmings was a highly acclaimed game of the early 1990s, leading to the development of numerous versions and sequels, and inspiring similar video games. With levels grouped into four difficulty categories, each featuring unique game elements and hazards, Lemmings promises a timeless gaming experience. Remember, every lemming counts!
