Lemmings (Amiga) - Intro

Step back in time to the early 90s and the frantic, adorable world of Lemmings! This groundbreaking puzzle game, originally a sensation on the Amiga before conquering platforms worldwide, captured hearts with its simple premise: guide a horde of mindless, green-haired creatures through treacherous levels to safety. What made it special was the sheer number of characters on screen, each with a unique, often comical, demise, and the innovative gameplay requiring players to assign specific 'skills' like building bridges, digging tunnels, or blocking paths. Its impact was huge, influencing countless puzzle games that followed. Players fondly remember the iconic 'Oh no!' sound effect when a Lemming met its end, the catchy, varied soundtrack, and the increasingly challenging levels that demanded clever strategy and quick reflexes. Lemmings wasn't just a game; it was a test of logic and patience, a shared experience among friends huddled around a screen, desperately trying to save just one more little creature.
