Lemmings--it's been a long time since those cute green haired things invaded our PCs. This version brings together the first two games (Lemmings and Oh No! More Lemmings), with a souped-up Windows interface, some pretty animations, updated sound and graphics just so you can begin to start saving the little beggars all over again.
Basically the idea is to steer these brainless guys through a load of hostile environments trying not to let too many fall to their death on the way. To help you in this quest you get to give your charges special skills, blocker (who makes all lemmings after him go back the way they came, diggers (who can dig tunnels which the others fall down) and even bomber lemmings which blow holes in walls. If you guide enough of the little blighters to safety you get to proceed through the levels as guardian of the future of the lemming race.
As you progress through the levels, the environments that the Lemmings have to steer become progressively more difficult. The number of skills, the amount of time, and the number of lemmings which you have can vary from level to level.
The main graphics don't appear to have evolved but there are a number of cool extras. You can play the game at low-res or hi-res. The first is perfect for a 640x480 setup, and the latter for 800x600. You can also "zoom in" for a close-up of various areas of the screen which is really handy to see whether a bridge is "pixel-perfect" or whether the lemmings are going to fall to their deaths off the end. All said this is great retro puzzle action. --Lindon Kenilworth

Ever since my copy of Lemmings for the Amiga corrupted, I have desperately waited for a PC version to come out. When I found out about this, I instantly got it and was delighted.
It retains its original gameplay and music with the added bonus of a fast forward button.
The graphics are much the same but the lemmings are now shown in greater detail. The cute animations of the task buttons are also a nice touch.
It is exactly as I remembered it and as frustratingly enjoyable as ever.
My only complaint is that the unique levels along with their unique music have been removed. (There was 1 level on each difficulty where the palette was vastly different - fun difficulty had a bunch of trees - and was accompanied by a one-off piece of music that followed the levels style.) A great loss.
On the whole, excellent. If you loved lemmings but don't have it anymore, get this now!

I bought this hoping it would work on Windows 7 64-bit... and it does! I can't really add much other than the technical bits: It will run from the CD. There is no install/uninstall so you can copy the files to a folder and run from there without the need of CD (no registration required). You can add 'Players', so you can save your own progression. There is cheat option to skip those levels (rather than using codes) you can't quite complete (I have found cheat guides on-line though!) The game options are: Sound (sound effects, music, visual sound effects) on/off; Graphics high/low (low is the original pixelated level, while high is more detailed and smoother.) Zoom level (1x, 2x, 4x) to cater for different size screens and resoluitions. And there is pdf file provided in different languages with instructions on game play for the beginners. Enjoy!

The classic, the original, the benchmark for simple, addictive and exciting gameplay. 100s of Lemmings at you disposal like the great leader Sun Tzu said "lead your warriors up to the top, then kick the ladder out from under them".
I can still remember spending many a happy evening at my Aunt's old Amstrad desperatly trying to beat it. Ah, the memories!
Frantic, fustrating and hilarious in equal measures with brilliantly designed puzzles, forget online gaming, there aint nothin as satisfying as finishing the last level.
Great music such as Mozart's Fur Elise accompany the game, as well as some classic nursery rhymes which all add a sense of urgency to the game. Get it now, do not delay! What more could anyone ask for 5 quid?

Love it or hate it
I love the game but, it's sooo small on screen and may be an old fashioned but it's still one of the best.

Great Fun for All Ages. Works on Windows XP
This is a very addictive game in which you have to lead lots of lemmings, past obstacles, into lemming heaven. Sounds simple but can be head-scratchingly difficult at times. Read more

This couldn't be easier to set up and play. You could just play from the CD or copy the files to a folder on your hard drive and play from there. Make a short cut to LEMMINGS. Read more
