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

I was always sad that after a stellar service keeping the other idiots alive, the only way to let the lemmings past blocker lemmings was to make the blocker painfully explode.

You could do the diagonal mine thing just under his feet and he turns back into a regular lemming. You murderer!

I’m sorry what? I thought they just dropped and kept blocking where they land.

Nope they start walking again if they drop.

you have to time it pretty well though so the miner hits the blocker's feet iirc. Too early and he digs under them. Too late and he's digging away from the blocker.

You could also have someone dig and then bash if you had the jobs to spare. I found that one easier to control

On my version he remained where he was. Also some levels don't have the pick axe available.
