    We used to play this in my highschool electronics class for some reason. We had 90 minute periods and it was always something like 20 minutes of book work, 50 minutes at our benches, and then 20 minutes of Lemmings.

      My electronics teacher explained some aspect of circuits using Lemmings as an analogy. I don’t recall the exact details!

        There is definitely some problem solving involved that could probably be mapped to logic circuits (lots of For and While loops). Good excuse to play that game though!

    Actually Lemmy is named Lemmy partly because of this game (read it on some ‘why Lemmy?’ page somewhere)

    I was commenting in another thread that the Lemmy name does make me remember that game

    You can also download the true original DOS version, or run it emulated in a browser. HTML5 is probably smoother though.

      (quietly notes that the original version was the Amiga one)

      I had a DOS version on a 3.5" floppy disk. I loved the MIDI music.

    Beautiful game and… time for games… it still holds up. Emulate the Amiga version and ignore the rest for the purest experience (FS-UAE/Win UAE). Headphones on :)
