Play Lemmings (Rev A) Online

Game Overview

Lemmings on the SNES is one of those games that looks adorable until you realize you’re basically herding suicidal little creatures with zero survival instincts. They’ll walk straight off cliffs, into lava, or through spike traps without a second thought—unless you step in and give them jobs. Assign a digger to tunnel through dirt, a builder to make stairs, or my personal favorite, the umbrella guy who floats down safely (most of the time).

The first few levels trick you into thinking it’s easy, but then suddenly you’re sweating over timing a blocker just right so the rest don’t march into a crusher. The music’s weirdly cheerful for how often you’ll watch a lemming explode, and the pixel art gives them this dopey charm that makes their deaths funnier than they should be. It’s puzzle-solving with just enough chaos to keep you from feeling too smart.

If you’ve never played it, expect to fail a lot at first—then get weirdly proud when you finally guide all those idiots to the exit.
