Actually Lemmy is named Lemmy partly because of this game (read it on some 'why Lemmy?' page somewhere)

We used to play this in my highschool electronics class for some reason. We had 90 minute periods and it was always something like 20 minutes of book work, 50 minutes at our benches, and then 20 minutes of Lemmings.

My electronics teacher explained some aspect of circuits using Lemmings as an analogy. I don't recall the exact details!

There is definitely some problem solving involved that could probably be mapped to logic circuits (lots of For and While loops). Good excuse to play that game though!

It was certainly memorable

I was commenting in another thread that the Lemmy name does make me remember that game

This was one of my favorite games back in the day!

Woww I had a CD-ROM of Lemmings and I always felt so sad for the lil guys. Thank you for sharing that link!

I had a DOS version on a 3.5" floppy disk. I loved the MIDI music.

You can also download the ~~true original~~ DOS version, or run it emulated in a browser. HTML5 is probably smoother though.

(quietly notes that the original version was the Amiga one)

(quietly hides face in shame)

Well at least I feel less old then, first I recall was on the NES

[-] MusketeerX@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Nice! Thanks for the link - now added as a web app in my games folder 😁

Oh no!

Beautiful game and.. time for games... it still holds up. Emulate the Amiga version and ignore the rest for the purest experience (FS-UAE/Win UAE). Headphones on :)
