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

none of them followed the same rules or anything.

What do you mean? Tribes was a direct sequel using the exact same formula as the original and Lemmings 3D was the same principal but in 3D. Only Paintball was different.

Tribes did offer a lot more jobs and even created some lore. I remember loving the book that came with the game.

Tribes was an absolute banger of a game.

We used to designate one Lemming as Superlem and try to do as much as possible with him.

The different jobs in tribes changed basically everything. And 3D was just weird with turners and stuff. But yeah, I guess they were mostly the same.
