A wonderful game. Another game I grew up playing as a kid. I really don't want this game to become abandonware. I hope you can find who owns this game and bring it to GOG.

Oh Lemmings, you were one of my first gaming addictions. We had this in primary school on the Acorn Archimedes in 91 or 92. It was bundled with education software, I think this was included to teach children to use the mouse. it was in 1993 we got the Amiga and a copy of this and I spent most of that summer playing it with a few friends. A classic Psygnosis game... speaking of GOG nudge sony TO sell you the IP for Psygnosis ;)

This Amiga game nearly drove me and my best friend both insane. The music took over our minds, and we'd find ourselves humming it at odd times. We'd see lines of lemmings when we blinked. But by golly, we beat it. We both beat it. I feel like it would break me today, but... it's important. There's never been anything else like it, such a unique collision of charm and unforgiving precision. Please save it!
While I didn’t play Lemmings as much growing up, it is one I used to watch my cousins play for hours trying to come up with new strategies. It was also the first game that taught me level design. I remember drawing my own levels and figure out what Lemming would be the best to solve each situation. I would love to replay this now that I am an adult. It would mean the world to me.
Classic lemmings and Christmas lemmings are so good. I think it would be great to release them as is, but I think a remake with all the old versions included along original art and interviews would be ideal. It’s historically relevant

I mean, it's Lemmings. This is about as classic as they come. A 30 plus year old point and click puzzle game with cheerful renditions of popular music, and whimsical levels and sound effects as they bash, dig, float and build their way to the end. The start of a timeless little franchise that is hardest to revisit in its original form, and I think that is the BIG draw on why it is so highly requested.

An awesome puzzle game, so many options in many levels on how to solve them. I spent so many hours on this game when I was younger. I have wished for a long time to be able to have a copy now. Would love to be able to play it again.
This was one of my first games on pc... I remember spending hours trying to guide the little lemmings to the end as a child... If nothing else this game's puzzles are worth preserving...

This is one of the most fun games that has ever existed. Gaming in the 1990s was fantastic. Lemmings was installed on my first PC when I bought it. I still have the floppy disk. I do remember reading something recently about Sony acquiring the rights. They need to know how important this game is to all of us.

I remember owning this game on a 3.5 inch floppy disk, and playing it with my dad in the early 1990s- it would have to be one of the first video games I ever played. I remember one level that I found incredibly difficult- the only thing I could think of was to try to click on every single lemming to make them dig before they fell off the edge, it was very tense! I've felt ever since that there must have been a better way. Great pixel art and really fun puzzles!

Discworld
DiscworldDiscworld is a game released for PC (subsequently Mac, and Playstation) by Teeny Weeny / Perfect 10 studios in 1995. The game was released both on floppy disk and CD-Rom. The latter featured a commentary team created of many veterans of famous Brit-Coms. This included Monty Python's Eric Idle, Radio 4's (later to be more famous) Rob Brydon, ex- Doctor Who John Pertwee, 70s pop singer Kate Robbins, and Blackadder star Tony Robinson. The game is a riff on the Discworld title 'Guards, Guards', however many elements of the text have been shifted, not least the inclusion of Rincewind as protagonist. The game featured puzzles which were considered far too difficult and obtuse for gamers of the time, but the game itself has had a lasting legacy, now being accepted into such emulators as SCUMMVM.
