This game is unbelievably addictive and challenging. Anybody out there who won't even acknowledge it as a superpower of strategy games is sadly missing out. There are 4 difficulty settings. Fun, Tricky, Taxing and Mayhem. All in order of easiest to hardest. Fun is the best place to start to get used to the basics of what each command does. Then as you progress through each difficulty your skills and experience will come into play more with every stage. The levels also have scenery that is pleasing to the eye.
The idea is to get the lemmings to blindly walk into their escape hatch, which is in the form of a pyramid, monster's head, pebble archway, and many other designs depending on the theme and design of the level. The game has also evolved onto many platforms and editions, such as the Christmas lemmings edition. All in all it's like buying a bottle of Jim Beam Smacll Batch with some Ballantines and churning them together to make one heck of a fearsome, formidable strategy gaming
experience. Without a doubt one of the greats of the old school gaming era. Give it a try today ohohoh.
