Lemmings is a puzzle[1]-platformer[2] video game
originally developed by DMA Design[3] and first published
by Psygnosis[4] for the Amiga[5], Atari ST[6] and PC[7]
in 1991. The game was programmed by Mike Dailly[8] and
David Jones[9], and was inspired by a simple animation
that Dailly created while experimenting with Deluxe Paint
[10].
The objective of the game is to guide a group of
anthropomorphised[11] lemmings[12]
through a number of obstacles to a designated exit. To
save the
required number of lemmings to win, one must determine
how to assign a
limited number of eight different skills to specific
lemmings that allow
the selected lemming to alter the landscape, to affect
the behaviour of
other lemmings, or to clear obstacles to create a safe
passage for the
rest of the lemmings.
Lemmings was one of the best-received video games of the
early 1990s. It was the second-highest rated game in the
history of Amstrad Action[13], and was considered the
eighth-greatest game of all time by Next Generation[14]
in 1996. Lemmings is also one of the most widely ported
[15]
video games, and is estimated to have sold over 15
million copies
between its various ports. The popularity of the game
also led to the
creation of several sequels[16], remakes[17] and spin-offs
[18], and has also inspired similar games.
