Enthralling gameplay, a real gem

The Good
The variety of lemmings at your disposal is just right -- not too many, not too few. Just when you've gotten into a habit of sacrificing the little dudes, along comes a level where you've gotta save 90% or more of them. There are hundreds of levels but amazingly, the game never gets tedious, as there's enough variety of different challenges to keep you interested.

The Bad
There's literally nothing to dislike about Lemmings. As close as I can figure, it's a perfect game.

The Bottom Line
A masterpiece of rich, compelling gameplay, great use of colors, cute little animations, and fun happy music. A must play for anyone who calls themselves and old-school gamer.
