Lemmings is a classic game where you must help a hapless band of small rodents avoid obstacles.

It requires a combination of logical thinking and fast action as the lemmings blindly walk into roaring flames and deep water.

Winlems is a redesign of the original game that works in Windows. The original was written for DOS (Microsoft's operating system before Windows) and getting it to work can be tricky. With Winlems all the hard work is taken care of.

Although lemmings can only walk backwards and forwards, individuals can be given extra abilities such as digging through walls or making bridges. Only a limited number of each ability can be given out and this is the challenge of the game.
