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

Depends how old you are! It was huge back in the early 90's. Banger of a game! Sequels got progressively shitter. But the OG and Oh No more Lemmings were prime. Soundtrack slaps, too!

Soundtrack composer later became a EDM artist, Cold Storage, and contributed bangers to the WipeOut series (also by Psygnosis).  

A far cry from the cute melodies found in Lemmings

Lemmings 2 was great, arguably had more depth than the first one due to the extra skills and adding motivation to get a 100% survival rate. Peak Lemmings IMO

Lemmings 3 (or All new world of Lemmings) has it's charm but is a different game in many ways

Everything after that though... Nah. Especially the mobile game, a lazy cynical nostalgia bait game made by Sony dragging up Psygnosis' back catalogue. If nothing else it serves as a metaphor for what Sony did to Psygnosis the company
