The player has the ability to assign specific functions to individual lemmings; these function include climbing, digging, building bridges, and other functions that allow the player to help the lemmings navigate through the obstacle-strewn levels.  The goal on each level is to get a certain number of lemmings safely to the exit.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe trick to the game is that the player has access to only a certain number and kinds of tools for each level and must determine how best to use them to circumnavigate the obstacles.  For the most part, the levels get harder as the game goes on.  I say for the most part because some of the later levels, though complex looking, are pretty easy to clear.  I wonder, though, how much of that is simply a factor of how individual players look at a level.  Some of the levels I find easy might be difficult for another player and vice versa. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis game, as I said before, is highly addictive.  In the later levels, when the lemmings are falling from the sky faster than the player can decide what to do with them and the lemmings are, in turn, getting chopped up by spinning blades or falling into pits of lava, the game is truly intense.  I also like that there are multiple ways to beat most levels, making it possible to develop a personal style of play\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor DOS\/Windows (via DOSBox) [*Please review compatibility\/platform sections in 'What You Get']\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Psygnosis","offers":[{"title":"Used In Sleeve","offer_id":31982575026308,"sku":"16635","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used In Box","offer_id":31982575059076,"sku":"17760","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/products\/g0102330oi3_170dd2d1-4df4-40e3-89eb-d0026a19dfd6.jpg?v=1588681525","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/lemmings-w-manual","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
