Aside from the logo, which I think I just upscaled from an icon (which is why it looks so blocky), I drew this in DPaint on an Amiga back in the 1990s. I was quite proud of how it came out given I have very little artistic talent, although I wish I'd redrawn the logo.

Lemmings features in the list at...

Lemmings 1, 2, and 3 are in positions 3, 6, and 7 respectively

(although I'm not sure that's really a spoiler, as it's a chronological list of games)

Medieval lemmings have to deal with fiery dragons!

(from Lemmings 2 level "Let's play twister!")

I never knew there was a video for this song. Incredible.

I picked this up in a charity shop some time ago and was trying to run it on Windows 95 with no luck. Just happened upon this guide which says it works on Windows 10 - ran through it and played the first couple of easy levels. It does work!

Lemmings went 3d. It's not the best way to play this classic game due to the clunky controls and camera, but it's still fun once you get past that. The controls just give lemmings 3d an extra difficulty.

A bronze tribute to the wildly popular video game from the '90s.

I'm not sure where this is from - the original music is by Tel Jeroen.

No scrolling required!

I think mine is the Shadow tribe. I love the whole aesthetic, smoke from the chimneys, and the exit is a TARDIS... um, I mean, blue police box... how cool is that?

The dinos in the Cavelem tribe are super cute though.

What's your favourite tribe and why?

Another day, another level of Lemmings! This one is rather simple.

Another day, another level of Lemmings!

Another day, another level of Lemmings! This time I added some CRT shaders and it looks much better.

Why YSK

One Of Lemmy's creators mentioned it as part of the inspiration for the name, so it's a nice dive to play the game.

Per Wikipedia

In a 2020 post, Lemmy's co-creator Dessalines wrote about the origin of the name Lemmy. "It was nameless for a long time, but I wanted to keep with the fediverse tradition of naming projects after animals. I was playing that old-school game Lemmings, and Lemmy (from Motorhead) had passed away that week, and we held a few polls for names, and I went with that."
