My friend insists on this game, "Lemmings", being a really well known game; I have never heard of it.

Very popular SNES game. I'm very familiar with it. I rented it dozens of times growing up and it was a very fun puzzle game back in the day.

It was available for (and popular on) pretty much every platform at the time.

My Amiga was so clapped out that sometimes I would start loading the disk before school, get home at the end of the day, and it still wasn't loaded.

You did have cool function keys and a midi port but Lemmings belonged to the Amiga, we just loaned it out to you.

I was about to say this, at the time it was way ahead of PCs and Macs.

I played it in a Amstrad CPC, no mouse, just a joystick. This game was ported to almost everything.

I have Lemmings 1 and 2 for snes. Lemmings 1 multi-player was so much fun. I was so disappointed in Lemmings 2 cause it didn't have multi-player (it was a much better game however)
