Consolemania (Dec, 1992)
In conclusione, se conoscete e amte il gioco, compratelo, ma se non lo conoscete e amte i puzzle game, Lemmings desterĂ sicuramente il vostro interesse, pur avendo del tempo sulle spalle.

Tough, challenging and full of things with green hair going bang! This game's going to cause a lot of late nights for a lot of people.

Nintendo Magazine System UK (Jan, 1993)
A stable conversion of a classic game. Spoilt by a few defects but worth a look for die-hard Lemmings fans anyway.

If you're a big Lemmings fan or simply inquisitive, have a bash at the NES version. Definitely a game to try before you buy!

Nintendo Magasinet (Sweden) (May, 1993)
Det hÀr spelet Àr precis lika kul som Super NES-versionen. Det enda som skiljer de bÄda Àr som sagt grafiken och ljudet men det spelar ingen större roll i den hÀr typen av spel. Det enda man irriterar sig lite pÄ Àr att lÀmlarna ibland börjar flimra nÀr det blir för mÄnga pÄ skÀrmen samtidigt. Annars Àr det jÀttekul!

Video Games (Dec, 1992)
Das NES ist denkbar ungeeignet, ganze Hundertschaften von Sprites zu verwalten. Deshalb wurde die Lemmings-Familie drastisch dezimiert. Statt bis zu 100 Lemminge schleust Ihr meist weniger als 20 Tierchen durch die Höhlen. Tummeln sich auf einer Ebene mehr als acht Wanderer, stören trotzdem nach ZeilenausfĂ€lle und Bildflackern. (...) Doch daraus will ich dem Spiel keinen Strick drehen: Auf dem NES gehtâs halt nicht besser. Nervig sind aber die Ungenauigkeiten beim Anklicken. Oft wird dabei ein Lemming auĂerhalb des Fadenkreuzes aktiviert - das ursprĂŒngliche Vorhaben miĂlingt und der Level muĂ wiederholt werden. Auch die Interpretationen der Lemmings-Melodien sind arg lausig. Da bin ich fĂŒr die Musik-Aus-Option echt dankbar. Trotz der schwĂ€chlichen NES-Variante ist Lemmings ein geniales Werk. Und das macht auch dem NES-Besitzer SpaĂ.

Version de trÚs bonne qualité mais avec son lot de surprises, Lemmings sur NES vient enrichir une ludothÚque déjà trÚs fournie sans avoir à rougir de sa prestation.

Die Jungs sind zwar graphisch etwas klein geraten und auch die Ikons fĂŒr die verschiedenen FĂ€higkeiten mĂŒssen erst erahnt werden, aber wenn man den Bogen raus hat, kann's rund gehen. Alles in allem kommt das Spiel voll rĂŒber und ich kann nur sagen: Habt Ihr heute schon gelemmingt?

Itâs fair to say that the NES version of Lemmings does not offer the definitive experience. The lack of sound effects deals a real blow to the gameâs charm, which it otherwise has in spades. Yet the core of what makes the franchise so compelling is firmly in place here in the form of original, entertaining, and challenging puzzles that, due to the downright cuteness of the titular creatures, really feel like they matter.

The controls can cause the biggest
problem, where jerky motions and a lack of response cause issues
with precision and reaction times. However, sometimes starting
over can be the fun part after watching all of the little guys explode.
Hours of fun await those with a little patience and a guiding hand.

Lemmings was never an easy game to begin with, especially on the harder difficulties, but itâs almost unbearably difficult on the NES, thanks to the controls. Lemming tasks canât be executed as quickly on an NES controller as they can on a standard mouse. Earlier stages are enjoyable, but watch out for anything on âTrickyâ difficulty and above. Also, to my old, tired eyes, the Lemmings have never looked more pixelated and abstract. I could make out the basic Lemming shapes and guide them to where they needed to go, but nothing beyond that. As a puzzle game, Lemmings is aces, but Iâd recommend looking elsewhere for your fix. Perhaps the Lynx?
