Description
Your task is to rescue the Lemmings across 120 levels of fast-paced puzzling. These creatures simply walk blindly through the world in the hope of reaching safety at the end of the level - unfortunately these levels include steep drops, gaps in the ground, barriers and rivers amongst other hazards.
You are in control not of any individual Lemming, but of a cross-hair, which can be moved over any of the Lemmings. Along the bottom are a selection of functions which can be assigned to a Lemming, including climbing, floating and bashing. You must click to select the appropriate function, then click on the Lemming to activate it. Each level has a different range of skills on offer, a different amount of Lemmings, and a different percentage target in order to progress.

Trivia
In Watertown, New York, during the spring of 1997, a 78-year old man was hospitalized (in critical condition) due to a heart attack, which he suffered when he entered the basement for the first time of the furniture store he owned and was surprised to find hundreds and hundreds of 5-foot Lemmings cardboard cutouts staring at him. The creepy green-haired critters gave him such a shock that he keeled over and went into cardiac arrest. After hearing of this and recognizing the cutouts (referred to as "lifesize zombie cutouts" by the TV news) as Lemmings, I asked both Psygnosis and DMA Design about the cutouts. Neither of them had any records or memory of making the cutouts, and nobody knew how they got into the base ment of the store -- which this man had owned and used as a furniture store for about 20 years. Spooky.
