Description

Lemmings is a puzzle-platformer video game originally developed by DMA Design and first published by Psygnosis for the Amiga in 1991. It was later ported to a wide range of platforms, including the Atari Lynx. The game tasks players with guiding a group of anthropomorphized lemmings through various obstacles to a designated exit, by assigning them specific roles such as builders, diggers, or blockers. The game is known for its challenging puzzles and the need to strategize the use of limited actions to guide the lemmings to safety. The Atari Lynx version retained much of the gameplay and charm of the original, making it a suitable adaptation for handheld gaming of the time.
