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.

Alternate Titles

Trivia

Not all ports of Lemmings contained the same levels. All ports contained the 120 standard levels from the DOS version, with the following exceptions:

The Amiga, Atari ST, SNES and Sega Genesis versions contained 20 2-player levels.

The SNES version contained 5 extra levels.

The Genesis version contained 60 of the standard levels and an additional 120 unique levels!

The Macintosh version contains a unique level in place of the standard level 21 in Tricky rating.

The Windows 95, Playstation and Gameboy versions all contain less levels than the original DOS version.
