![]() By level 50, you’re considering suicide yourself…and level 51. Goofy music drones on relentlessly, subtly lowering your intelligence. The screens get so tough that you think there must be design flaws. To make sure you experience plenty of stress and frustration, Lemmings increasingly restricts your use of the most helpful skills. The only rough edge is the DOS-based copy protection. It recognizes an external drive and minimizes disk-swapping on single-drive systems. The program detects and uses extra memory. What it lacks in flash, however, it makes up for in comfort: Smooth and addictive, it includes a fast restart option, instant access to any level you’ve already seen, and a nifty two-player mode with 20 levels of its own. Lemmings graphics and sound are polished, but unambitious. When so many of the contrary little vermin have reached room temperature that you can no longer succeed, you have to reset with the apocalyptic Nuke ‘Em option and try again. The others, however, will cheerfully plunge to their doom at every opportunity. Select a skill, then click on the desired rodent, and that lemming will do as you command. Icons across the bottom of the screen represent the skills at your disposal: climbing, parachuting, traffic control, bridge building, demolition, and three kinds of digging. You manage the action by bestowing various skills on individual lemmings, enabling them to construct bridges and tunnels that divert their less-gifted buddies to safety. Lemmings ($44.99) looks like an arcade game, but it’s more a series of puzzles: Save a specified number of the cuddly creatures within a given time limit, or else repeat the level. These little guys are so darn cute you just can’t help wanting to save them from self-destruction. But no-Psygnosis craftily transformed the mean-tempered ice-rats into lovable Pillsbury Doughboys with green hair and 78-rpm voices. You’d think that would rule out computer-game stardom.

Review from Amiga World magazine's July, 1992, issue by Dodson Yaple: Want proof DMA Design loved the Amiga? Check out the screenshot below of the boing-ball hot air balloon. Lemmings is a shining example of a game that was created on the Amiga, for the Amiga, which became a giant global success beyond the platform's lifetime. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again! for a more modern example of concept theft, even though it is very fun, too). To that end, the concept has been repackaged and copied by even the "big boys" (see: Mario vs. But the magic of this game is the concept and level design. The graphics are pretty good, and the music and sound is as well. Except you aren't trying to solve level puzzles to avoid bad guys - you're solving level puzzles to avoid dying. ![]() It is similar in overall tone (IMO) as the classic Loderunner. Its a puzzle game, set in a real-time and compilation / shovelware. For the uninitiated, this game is a total blast and highly addictive.
