About This Retro Game
Lemmings tasks players with saving a percentage of adorable but suicidal creatures by assigning them jobs like digging, building, blocking, and climbing to navigate treacherous terrain.
The SNES version features all 120 levels from the original computer versions plus 4 new exclusive levels, with the added benefit of controller-friendly interface adaptations.
With its simple concept but increasingly complex puzzles, Lemmings became one of the most influential and ported games of the early 1990s.
The game's charm comes from balancing the comedic destruction of careless lemmings against the satisfaction of successfully guiding them to safety through clever strategy.
