Summary: One of the best computer games ever made!
Review: I've had Lemmings for a few years now, and it was the first computer game I ever had and even after playing it for about 6 years, it hasn't gotten old or boring at all. You have to save a bunch of little Lemmings from getting killed by guiding them to the open door which will take them to the next level. But it's easier said than done. You have to use a number of different kinds of powerups including digging, umbrellas, building stairs, making a Lemming stand guard and not let the others through, and many other powerups in order to guide them to the exit. However, there are many ways that the Lemmings can get killed other than by falling down too far and going splat. They can get killed by many other obstacles such as fire and falling through the bottom of the level. There are also ways you can make the Lemmings fall from the beginning of the level faster and slower, and even a way to make them all self-destruct if you already know you can't pass the level and you need to retry. In each level, you have to rescue a certain number of Lemmings to pass to the next level, then it will give you a password you can write down so you can go to that level anytime afterwards. The levels start out easy, and get harder and harder as you make your way through the game.

If you have Windows 95, I definitely recommend getting Lemmings more than any other computer game out there. Lemmings will grow on you and you'll like it better and better the more you play it. And best of all, it's one of the few games that will never get old.

Summary: A good purchase
Review: This game is pretty good. The levels vary a lot, with different choices for each. Yout must get the Lemmings to their little base. The reason i gave this a four instead of a five was that the game gets a little boring and, eventually, repetitive after a while. Even still, it's a good buy.

Summary: Oh you poor helpless Lemmings...
Review: This is the kind of game that will drive you insane. You'll be up for days trying to figure out how to get past an obstacle without killing off most of the Lemmings, how to not go over the time limit, and learning all the different tricks to saving some of them. But you'll love doing it. Lemmings remains one of my favorite games to play even after 13 years. I remember how easy I thought it was going through all of the "Fun" levels, only to get my ass handed to me on "Taxing". And don't even get me started on the first time I tried the first level of "Mayhem".

This is what you do: get the Lemmings past obstacles and to their home at the end of each level. Using the following skills: climber, floater, bomber, blocker, basher, miner, digger, and builder, you have to get past the obstacles and use strategy getting them there. Oh it sounds easy, and it is...for the first 15 or so levels. Then, hidden obstacles get you. Things like bear traps, hangman ropes, meat grinders, lava, water, jackhammers and more will pummel the crap out of you. And for each stage, you're given a percentage of how many Lemmings have to survive in order to get to the next level. Get this: sometimes the drop hatch (this is what the Lemmings pop out of at the start of each stage) is too high above the ground, and right when the level starts, the Lemmings splat instantly. How are you going to save them? Try letting some of them float, have a blocker turn them around so they don't keep walking to the right, and have one build stairs so they have a little higher ground to not die on. You're going to be doing things like this throughout the whole game, but it's fun.

Oh, the Lemmings have a self-destruct feature. If you're stuck in a level and don't want to wait for time to run out, hit that nuke icon and watch the countdown begin. After 5 seconds, all the Lemmings panic and explode in a rain of confetti.

And the music is just flat-out cool. Most of the tracks are well-known dittys ("She'll Be Comin' 'Round The Mountain" "How Much Is That Doggy In The Window", etc.) and there are some original ones in here as well. The most memorable of which is [I think] original, and is known to me and many others simply as:

Bow-bow-bowbow-bowbow bow-bow-bowbowbowbowbow bow-bow-bow-bowbow-bow-bowwwwww...

Once you hear that for the first time, it'll get stuck in your head for the rest of your life.

Get Lemmings if you want something new in your game library. There isn't a single other game I can think of that compares to this. Well, maybe Sheep, but even then...I don't think they have a self-destruct feature.
