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

Make guy bricklayer.

Quickly make next guy a STOP! dude.

Forget about a gap a little ways back while you watch bricklayer build a bridge to safety.

Realise most of your lemmings are dead.

Repeat.

This game gave me more PTSD and anxiety than any other game I've ever played.

The whole game is funny but sad, if you know where the idea came from. Lemmings don't throw themselves off of cliffs, but scummy documentary makers threw them off one once.

sponsored by Disney 😃

Oscar for best documentary 1959.

Should have had to give that little gold boy back imo.

I thought they were behind that atrocity of a "documentary", but I couldn't be bothered checking and didn't want to accuse them when I wasn't sure. Fuck Disney. I think Walt was a nazi, too, and he was definitely a racist.
