Play Lemmings on Msdos Online

Game Overview

Lemmings on MS-DOS is one of those games that looks simple at first—until you realize how quickly things spiral into chaos. You start with a little crowd of green-haired dudes mindlessly marching toward their doom, and it's your job to give them skills like digging, climbing, or building bridges to guide them safely to the exit. Sounds easy, right? Then you watch half your squad walk off a cliff because you forgot to assign a blocker in time.

The charm is in the puzzle-solving—figuring out which lemming gets which ability at the exact right moment. Some levels feel impossible until you spot that one tiny ledge where a builder can make a staircase, or realize you need to sacrifice a few to save the rest. The MS-DOS version nails that classic early '90s vibe, even if the controls feel a little clunky now. It’s still weirdly satisfying when your plan comes together and your little guys finally make it home.

Fun fact: This game was so huge back in the day that it spawned a ton of sequels and knockoffs. But the original? Still holds up.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
