I used to love playing this game. I apparently still do!

I believe you’re in it.

GAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!

It’s too fun. TOO FUN, I TELLS YA!

It’s funny how it makes a modern computer feel soooo slooooow.

Anybody need any help? It kept locking up on me after the 4th fun level, so I bailed on those (because they are just introductory levels) and moved on to the tricky. After finishing all of those on pretty much the first try, I’m up to taxing. The first map took a couple tries to figure out the timing, and when I finally got it right, it locked up. Doh! It worked fine on the second try, and the second map was easy. So now begins the third.

Way too fun.

A little bit more work, but you can also play this game running STEEM, the Atari ST emulator. It’s a lot faster and a lot nicer in a number of ways, because you can close STEEM at any time and then when you start it again you just continue where you were. Great stuff.

Certainly lemmings is one of the all-time classics, but there comes a time when you just want to let the little green-haired bozos prove Darwin correct.

When you reach that state you can go to Every Video Game and pretty much destroy any hope of ever working again.
