Lemmings (Original levels only) (MS-DOS)
旅鼠：(Original levels only) (MS-DOS)
Lemmings is a real-time puzzle game developed by DMA Design and released in 1991. Players guide a stream of small creatures called lemmings through various obstacles to reach a safe exit. The core mechanic involves assigning lemmings special abilities—such as climber, digger, builder, and floater—to overcome environmental challenges. Each level presents a specific number of lemmings to save and a percentage goal. Controls are mouse-based, allowing players to click on individual lemmings to assign abilities. The MS-DOS version features colorful graphics and a steady flow of lemmings that requires quick thinking and planning. Levels range from simple introductory stages to complex puzzle scenarios with multiple obstacles, traps, and timing requirements. Success depends on understanding each ability's function and deploying them strategically to navigate terrain and reach the exit before time runs out.
