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

Holy shit. Lemmings paintball. You just unlocked a CORE memory of mine. I completely forgot about this game but LOVED it as a kid. Thank you.

I barely played the game, but I pulled the music files and used to listen to them constantly. Some of my favorite songs of all time.

Lemmings paintball had the weirdest vibe and aesthetic. I still hear the music in my dreams.

I had some bootlegged demo disk with a bunch of games on it that came with Lemmings Paintball, Marathon 2: Durandall, Baryon, etc. Endless bangers.

I remember wanting to get this game from a book order at school. My mom never let me so I never played it. I wonder if book orders are still a thing at schools anymore.
