...They were never meant to look like lemmings. Just act like the myth.

For those that have never played or just want another shot

Lemmings

I loved playing Lemmings on my Amiga 500 and spent many hours with it! I also remember getting the 1mb ram expansion later, just to be able to play Lemmings 2. Only games that came close where the Turrican series and Street Fighter II imho.

Ooh thanks for sharing this documentary. Lemmings is one of my favorite games of all time.

Here's the link if you don't want to go and give The Guardian more traffic.

But, released years before mobile phone games were a thing, it was nonetheless a fiendishly addictive game that feels like the spiritual precursor to the likes of Angry Birds. (from the article)

Precursor to modern mobile games the likes of Angry Birds? Really?

Saw the thumbnail and immediately started whistling the music from the game... Memories

I played this game a lot on SNES and a bit on Mac, and I can't for the life of me think of the tune.

Turns out the SNES version had 22 songs. Track 1 is definitely the most nostalgic.
