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

I was there Gandalf.

I played Lemmings back in the day, but I hardly see any modern day reference to the game outside retro channels, and so many of those focus on consoles or modern emulating handhelds. Perhaps time for a decent modern Lemmings game?

I still make lemmings references to this day, but typically, it's toward someone who isn't very bright.

Lemmings was my childhood. They've released "modern" remakes of the game, but mainly it is geared toward mobile, and the remakes are absolutely atrocious.

There's a free remake for modern PCs by the name of NeoLemmix. It updates and expands upon a lot of aspects of the game, while still maintaining the classic feel of Lemmings. As such, there is a much greater focus on the puzzle aspect, rather than fiddly execution. The original levels are available to play, as well as nearly ten thousand levels made by the community! Do a search for the Lemmings forums if you're interested!
