My first computer was a Commodore Amiga 512. Essentially an Amiga 500 with a small block plugged into the back that apparently made it faster. It was a Christmas present to my little brother and myself when I was about ten I think. It came in a glorious big red box with a bundle of applications (remember Deluxe Paint III anyone?) and a few games. 'Bart Simpson and the Attack of the Space Mutants', 'Captain Planet'- a dire dire attempt to convert a cartoon into a computer game I think there was another which I don't remember but more importantly (and as you have probably guessed) there was 'Lemmings'. An unassuming little game by Psygnosis that  Read the complete review

Name me a classic game. Now think about it properly, but first consider this – what IS a classic game? If you're me (which you almost certainly aren't), then you'll acknowledge the fact that one of the defining features of a classic game is that it's been around for yonks. Sure, there's a few generation defining games coming out this year, but they won't become truly classic is my eyes for a few years yet. Give them a chance to become crap! Lemmings is one such classic game. It's addictive, it's fun to play, and it's been around longer than my underwear (ahem). As you'll often hear me say, the simplest games are ...  Read the complete review

When Lemmings was released by Psygnosis in 1991, it was hailed as one of the most brilliant games of its day, and its simple idea and gameplay allow it to be just as accessible today. The premise is devastatingly simple. You are the sole protector of the Lemmings, which are green-haired, blue-clad dopey little creatures who must be guided from their point of entrance on the screen to the exit. Using a variety of tools and resources at your disposal, you can give them skills or building materials to navigate the map to the exit. Sounds easy, doesn't it... The Lemmings have the annoying tendency to act like, well, lemmings. They will continuously walk ...  Read the complete review

Well its a well-known game for a start. The idea was very original, Lemmings spawn from a box in a certain part of the map, and you must use the Lemmings skills and abilities to get the Lemmings home. In order to get the Lemmings home, you must have a strategic mind, although the earlier levels shouldn`t test you too much, as they`re fairly self explanatory, later levels can be challenging, requiring you to quickly multi-task in order to save as many Lemmings as you can. Unfortunately with the Amiga Mouse, acting quickly isn`t always that easy. The game has a few difficulty levels of which the player can choose at the main menu. The difficulty level affects ...  Read the complete review

A simple but ingenous game, lemmings is a 2d puzzle game with a very simple aim- get your lemmings from one side of the game map to another. At the start of each level your lemmings drop through a trapdoor in the ceiling and march relentlessly onwards to the right, turning back again the other way if they hit a wall or should they meet an edge plunging off it to their deaths. In order to prevent this from happening you must give individual lemmings special skills, of which you only have a limited amount, in order to guide your remaining lemmings through the levels and pave a way to the exit for them. There are eight skill types available, which are as ...  Read the complete review
