Lemmings is a puzzle-platformer video game originally developed for the Amiga by DMA Design and published by Psygnosis in 1991. The basic objective of the game is to guide a group of humanoid lemmings through a number of obstacles to a designated exit. In order to save the required number of lemmings to win, one must determine how to assign a limited number of eight different skills to specific lemmings that allow the selected lemming to alter the landscape, to affect the behavior of other lemmings, or to clear obstacles in order to create a safe passage for the rest of the lemmings. This version for Windows 8 has a rebuilt game engine and some new graphic elements, but the focus has been to preserve the look and feel from the original version(s).

.: 1991 Mode(s), (on some systems) Lemmings is a - video game originally developed by and published by for the in 1991 and later ported for numerous other platforms. The game was programmed by and, and was inspired by a simple animation that Dailly created while experimenting with. The objective of the game is to guide a group of through a number of obstacles to a designated exit. To save the required number of lemmings to win, one must determine how to assign a limited number of eight different skills to specific lemmings that allow the selected lemming to alter the landscape, to affect the behaviour of other lemmings, or to clear obstacles to create a safe passage for the rest of the lemmings. Lemmings was one of the best-received video games of the early 1990s. It was the second-highest rated game in the history of, and was considered the eighth-greatest game of all time by in 1996. Lemmings is also one of the most widely and, and is estimated to have sold around 20 million copies between its various ports.

The popularity of the game also led to the creation of several, and, and has also inspired similar games. Lemmings cross a bridge and tunnel through a rock formation in the Amiga version Lemmings is divided into a number of levels, grouped into four difficulty categories.

Each level begins with one or more trap doors opening from above, releasing a steady line of lemmings who all follow each other. Levels include a variety of obstacles that prevent lemmings from reaching the exit, such as large drops, booby traps and pools of lava.

The goal is to guide at least a certain percentage of the green-haired, blue-robed lemmings from the entrance to the exit by clearing or creating a safe passage through the landscape for the lemmings to use. Unless assigned a special task, each lemming will walk in one direction ignoring any other lemming in its way (except 'Blockers'), falling off any edges and turning around if they hit an obstacle they cannot pass. A lemming can die in a number of ways: falling from a great height, falling into water or lava, disappearing off the top, bottom or side of the level map, being caught in a trap or fire, or being assigned the Bomber skill. Every level has a time limit; if the clock counts down to zero, the level automatically ends. To successfully complete the level, the player must assign specific skills to certain lemmings.

Which skills and how many uses of each are available to the player varies from level to level, and the player must assign the skills carefully to successfully guide the lemmings. There are eight skills that can be assigned: 'Climbers' climb vertically though fall down if they hit an overhang. 'Floaters' use a parachute to fall safely from heights. 'Bombers' explode after a five-second timer, destroying themselves and any destructible landscape in close proximity, though not damaging other lemmings or traps.

'Blockers' stand still and prevent other lemmings from passing; lemmings that hit a Blocker simply reverse direction. 'Builders' build a stairway of 12 steps. 'Bashers', 'Miners' and 'Diggers' dig horizontally, diagonally downwards or directly downwards respectively. While the player is able to pause the game to inspect the level and status of the lemmings, skills can only be assigned in real-time. Lemmings are initially released at a rate predetermined by the level (from 1 to 99). The player can increase the rate as desired to a maximum of 99, and later decrease it down to, but not lower than, the initial rate. The player also has the option to 'nuke' all the remaining lemmings on the screen, converting them to Bombers.

This option can be used to abort a level when in a no-win situation, remove any Blockers that remain after the remaining lemmings have been rescued, or end a level quickly once the required percentage of saved lemmings has been reached. The four difficulty groups – 'Fun', 'Tricky', 'Taxing' and 'Mayhem' – are used to organise the levels to reflect their overall difficulty. This rating reflects several factors, including the number of obstacles the player has to surpass, the limitation on the number of types of skills available to assign, the time limit, the minimum rate of lemming release, and the percentage of lemmings that must be saved. Some versions have additional difficulty ratings with more levels in each. Two-player mode. In two-player mode, each player can only control lemmings of their own colour but attempt to guide any lemming to their own goal.

The original Lemmings also has 20 two-player levels. This took advantage of the Amiga's ability to support two mice simultaneously, and the Atari's ability to support a mouse and a simultaneously. Each player is presented with their own view of the same map (on a vertically split screen), can only give orders to their own lemmings (green or blue), and had their own base. The goal is to get more lemmings (regardless of colour) into one's own base than the other player. Gameplay cycles through the 20 levels until neither player gets any lemmings home.

Development Mike Dailly, the first employee of and one of the programmers for Lemmings, provided a detailed history of the development of the game entitled 'The Lemmings Story' in 2006., founder of DMA Design, has also commented on the development and success of Lemmings. The original Lemmings walk-cycle sprite animations from Mike Dailly (left) and Gary Timmons' improved version on the right. The animation was done using an 8×10 pixel space, with Timmons' version showing a less stiff walk cycle. The animation has eight frames and takes 0.8 seconds to complete one cycle. The inspiration for gameplay came as a result of a simple animated character in an 8×8 pixel box created by Dailly using as part of development for, then envisioned as a sequel to. Dailly was able to quickly produce an animated graphic showing his creations moving endlessly, with additional graphical improvements made by Gary Timmons and other members of the DMA Design team to help remove the stiffness in the animation. One member, Russell Kay, observed that 'There's a game in that!'

, and later coined the term 'lemmings' for these creations, according to Dailly. Allowing the creatures to move across the landscape was based on a weapon concept for Blood Money and demonstrated with the animations.

Levels were designed based on a interface, which allowed several of the members to design levels, resulting in 'hundreds of levels'. There were several internal iterations of the levels, each designer challenging the others. Dailly pointed out that David Jones 'used to try and beat us, and after proudly stabbing a finger at the screen and saying 'There!

, we'd calmly point out a totally new way of getting around all his traps, and doing it in a much simpler method. , he'd mutter, and scramble off to try and fix it.' They also sent internally tested levels to, getting back the results of their testing via fax. While most were solved quickly, Dailly commented that 'Every now and again though, the fax would be covered in scribbles with the time and comments crossed out again and again; this is what we were striving for while we were designing the levels, and it gave us all a warm fuzzy feeling inside.' Each of the designers had a somewhat different style in their levels: Dailly's levels often had titles containing clues to what to do (such as 'It's Hero Time', suggesting that one lemming had to be separated from the crowd) and generally required the player to perform several actions at once; Gary Timmons's levels were minimalistic, with popular culture references in the titles, and Scott Johnston's (whose mother was the first voice of the lemmings) levels were generally tightly packed. Dailly was also responsible for the 'custom' levels based on other Psygnosis and Amiga games, such as,. These 'crossover' levels also used music from those games, though in ports these levels have been removed or altered to remove such references.

After they developed most of the hard levels, they then created several simple levels either by copying the existing ones or creating new layouts; as Dailly states, 'This I believe is where many games fall down today, they do not spend the time making a good learning curve.' Timmons is credited with the official drawings of the lemmings, as necessitated by the need of Psygnosis for box cover artwork. Music was originally created by Brian Johnston (Scott's younger brother), who bits of copyrighted music. This had been common practice, but at that point there was a growing awareness of music copyright.

Psygnosis asked to replace the offending tracks, who often used arrangements and reworkings of and music to avoid copyright problems. Music tracks in the game include: 'Galop Infernal' from (the music by often used for the ), 'Rondo alla Turca' from 's, 'Dance of the Reed Flutes' from 's, ' from Tchaikovsky's, 'Ten Lemmings' (a track that uses melodies from traditional song ', 's (the part used as funeral march), 's ' (popularly known as 'Here Comes the Bride')), ', the English folk tune ' (adapted into the hymn 'All Beautiful the March of Days'), the carol ' mixed with the melody from the film, ' and '. The two-player option was inspired by then-current games. DMA Design initially wanted to use a connection between two machines to allow competitive play, but ended up using the ability of the Amiga to have two mouse pointer devices usable at the same time and thus created the split-screen mode.

Ports and remakes The popularity of the game on the Amiga led to its rapid to many other platforms, and it is regarded as one of the most widely ported video games. Within a year of its release, the game had been ported to,. David Jones stated that after porting the game to 20 systems, he stopped keeping count of additional ports. Other commercial ports of the original game include, and,. In early 2006, released a of for the, developed. It features all 120 levels from the original game, 36 brand-new levels as well as support (similar to the Extra Track system featured in ), and a user-level editor.

Every level in the game is a pre-rendered 3D landscape, although their gameplay is still 2D and remains faithful to the original game. User levels can be constructed from pre-rendered objects and distributed by them to a -specific Lemmings. The soundtrack also marks the final video game score created by longtime composer after he announced his retirement from the industry in mid-2005. In October 2006 the game was ported by developer Rusty Nutz for the with use of the. The basic change in the concept is that the player must stretch and use his/her limbs in the recorded picture to aid the lemmings. In 2007, Team17 produced a similar remake of Lemmings for the for download through the.

The game has the similar graphical improvements as the PSP title, as well as on-line scoreboards and additional levels developed for high-definition display, but lacks the ability to create and share levels as the PSP version offers.
