- THE GAME
- Lemmings is an intriguing one or two player game in which you help hordes of
- otherwise-mindless rodents - known as WALKERS - escape over 100 hostile
- environments.
-
- Lemmings drop through a trapdoor onto each screen and, as they're creatures
- of very little brain, they need all the help they can get to survive the
- dangers thereon.
-
- To assist these cuddly, yet suicidally stupid creatures you use your mouse
- (similar to a Lemming but it has more buttons) to select a skill from the
- panel of icons at the base of the screen. Once highlighted you then choose
- a suitable Lemming, from the throng on screen, to perform that skill. You
- have a strict time limit in which to get a required percentage of the little
- perishers through each level.
-
- A quick brain, the ability to plan ahead and a lifetime's dedication to the
- SAVE A LEMMING CAMPAIGN are what's required to get the right Lemming to
- perform the right action at the right time. A forgotten Blocker or
- misplaced bridge could spell disaster for every Lemming on screen.
-

- 1: Decrease flow of Lemmings onto the level.
- 2: Increase flow of Lemmings onto the level.
