Lemmings — About this game
Lemmings turns a stream of helpless walkers into a puzzle about timing and planning. They keep moving without regard for cliffs or traps, so you assign individual creatures useful jobs: block the crowd, build a bridge, climb a wall or dig through terrain. Each stage sets a rescue target and a time limit, while the available skills have limited uses. The NES version offers four difficulty ratings, from Fun to Mayhem, and passwords for continuing your progress. Pause to inspect the route before committing a worker to a task.
