Lemmings

Online version of Lemmings for Arcade. Lemmings is an action-puzzle game developed by the Scottish studio DMA Design and published by Psygnosis in 1991, originally for the Commodore Amiga. The player guides swarms of mindless, self-endangering lemmings to safety by assigning eight different skills to individual creatures — from digging and bridge-building to self-sacrifice by explosion. Its intuitive mouse control, dark slapstick humour and hundreds of ingenious puzzles made Lemmings one of the most acclaimed puzzle games of its era and a widely cited forerunner of the real-time strategy genre. It was ported to more than twenty platforms and spawned several sequels.

Arcade game

Online emulated version of Lemmings was originally developed as arcade game or coin-op game, a coin-operated entertainment machine typically installed in public businesses such as restaurants, bars and amusement arcades. Most arcade games are video games, pinball machines, electro-mechanical games, redemption games or merchandisers. While exact dates are debated, the golden age of arcade video games is usually defined as a period beginning sometime in the late 1970s and ending sometime in the mid-1980s.
Virtually all modern arcade games (other than the very traditional Midway-type games at county fairs) make extensive use of solid state electronics, integrated circuits and cathode-ray tube screens. In the past, coin-operated arcade video games generally used custom per-game hardware often with multiple CPUs, highly specialized sound and graphics chips, and the latest in expensive computer graphics display technology. This allowed arcade system boards to produce more complex graphics and sound than what was then possible on video game consoles or personal computers, which is no longer the case in the 2010s.

This emulation is powered by MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) project, an open-source emulator designed to recreate the hardware of arcade game systems in software on modern personal computers and other platforms. Its intention is to preserve gaming history by preventing vintage games from being lost or forgotten.
