Lemmings games are my all-time favorite. This gameboy game is just like the computer lemmings games. You have little lemming men who walk around and follow the leader. You must get as many as specified to the exit safely in the alloted time. You have different tools to help you, such as builders, diggers, stoppers, floaters, bashers etc. Each level is different and you are given a specific number of certain tools. You have to figure out which tools to use and when. For example, on one level, if you have to get from one mountain to another, you could build a bridge, however, while the bridge is being built by one lemming, the others will fall off the end if you don't stop them somehow. It is easy to stop them if you have a stopper, but what if you don't? You might have to dig a hole for the rest to fall into until the bridge is completed. That is the challanging part of this game. I highly recommend this game to those who enjoy logical thinking and planning.

I had this game many years ago on 5.25" floppies. I wasn't able to successfully transfer it to another format, so I've been without for quite some time. I found the GameBoy Color version here in Amazon, and ordered it. It's just like the original PC game I bought many years ago. I won't take the time here to describe the game. The game is just as good (and irritating!) and I remembered. The only flaw is that the package had absolutely no instructions in it. Fortunately, I knew how to play the game, but I had to experiment a little to figure out how to select the various types special lemmings to get what I needed done....diggers, builders, etc. The hardest thing to figure out was how to nuke the level so I didn't have to wait several minutes to just run out of time after I had all except a few blockers out. I'm glad this version has the first 10 levels as easy levels to experiment with the different types of lemmmings. It helped refresh my memory and gave me a chance to get used to it again. I'm sure if I did some searching, I could probably find instructions. If you already know the game, then the lack of instructions is no big problem. I'm looking forward to working on the many levels for some time to come.

Lemmings is a very fun game, you might just think "Lemmings....." Sounds OK. This game is Very Fun, it takes a lot of strategy and you have to know what you are doing before you do it, you have to think very fast and you very oftenly make make errors which they always happen even if the thing is the simpilist known possible thing to do. You get very few items per level so use them very carefully, go in to the box select the item with numbers that is the right one to use and then hit B or A and it will activate on the lemming that you enclosed on. The game is fun, and is very challenging which is what I like, it took a while to get used to, when I got it I didn't know what to do. I practically couldn't do anything at all and then I gave it another chance and now I am enjoying it quite a bit, my cat ain't getting her paws/claws on this baby!

I loved this game.Its great because it is challenging.It takes a lot of strategy and skill to play this game and thats why it is so fun.It can get a little frustrating and if u make one wrong move you might have to do the the level over and that can get frustrating. I would recommend this game to anyone who likes a classic arcade game but not a boring one.
