Yeah! Lemmings!

When the first series of Lemming hits the stall, basically every show PC in front of department stalls and computer stores in Sim Lim were ablaze with Lemmings on their.

Lemmings is such a simple game, easy to play, easy to figure out, and really satisfying when you finally put the tribe into the temple where they thank you and go onto the next level. On the other note, Lemmings is really easy to develop. With no AI (yes, Lemmings are dump), and 2D sprites graphics, any multi-media student worth his diploma or cert can do a Lemming clone using Flash and actionscript today.

However, what really helps in Lemmings gameplay is actually the ultra catchy background music. You simple CANNOT get it out of your head after a few hours of Lemmings. Every music tune is for a few levels, and each of them have their own way of making their way into your senses and emotions.

Here is a medley of Lemmings music tunes done by Xky Rauh. I found it on the Lemmings Universe site. I really love the first tune! I think it is for the first 5 levels if I am not wrong. This tune is really great for animation. I wonder if any company has any rights to the original Lemmings music.
