Lemmings

Online version of Lemmings for NES. 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.

NES Console

Online emulated version of Lemmings was originally developed for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), an 8-bit third-generation home video game cartridge-based console produced by Nintendo, first released in Japan as the Family Computer (commonly known as the Famicom) in 1983. The NES, a face-lifted version, was released internationally in the following years. The NES featured a number of groundbreaking games, such as the platform game Super Mario Bros, the action-adventure game The Legend of Zelda and the action game Metroid. As one of the best-selling gaming consoles of its time, the NES helped revitalize the US video game industry following the video game crash of 1983.

The game controller used for both the NES and the Famicom features an oblong brick-like design with a simple four button layout: two round buttons labeled `A` and `B`, a `START` button, and a `SELECT` button. Additionally, the controllers utilize the cross-shaped joypad, designed by Nintendo employee Gunpei Yokoi, for Nintendo Game & Watch systems, to replace the bulkier joysticks on earlier gaming consoles' controllers.
