It seems appropriate to end our little trip through gaming nostalgia than a game where you have to guide little people away from doom.

Released in 1991, Lemmings is a strategy game where you have to guide green haired little creatures dressed in blue to their homes all while avoiding certain doom by giving them skills such as digging, building and even exploding.

Real Lemmings don't have suicidal tendencies, that was a myth spun by Disney and the fact that they are extremely popular prey for predators.

Pros
Pleasant public domain music
Addictive gameplay will keep you going
Fun colourful backgrounds
Decent challenge

Cons
Bit slow
Bit awkward with gamepads and buttons
Easy to create Lemming fireworks than actual game progress

Verdict
The game almost has as many ports as the original Tetris, a simple idea with great execution.
