The title screen displays a large red "Lemmings 2" logo at center with a green lemming character perched atop it. Below the logo, white text reads "Gotta Ascertain" with subtitle text partially visible. The background shows a natural landscape with stylized trees, grass, and foliage in greens and browns. Four menu buttons in green text are arranged horizontally at the bottom: "LOAD", "PRACTICE", "SAVE", "PLAY", and "MAP".

Lemmings 2 - The Tribes is a puzzle-action game developed by DMA Design and released in 1994. Players guide small creatures called lemmings through increasingly complex levels by assigning them specific jobs or abilities. The game features multiple tribes, each with unique skills and tools available. Using the SNES controller, players select lemmings and assign them actions like digging, climbing, building, or blocking to create safe paths to each level's exit. Success requires planning routes and managing lemming assignments before they reach hazards. The level design progresses in difficulty, introducing new environmental challenges and puzzle mechanics that demand creative use of available abilities. Victory means directing enough lemmings safely to the exit within time constraints, making it a blend of real-time strategy and puzzle-solving mechanics.
