About this game

Lemmings is a single-player puzzle game in which players guide groups of creatures through hazardous environments by assigning them specific functions/abilities.

Each level begins with a group of lemmings dropping into a side-scrolling environment.

These creatures march forward blindly, turning only when they hit a wall, and will walk into hazards such as pits, water, lava, or traps unless directed otherwise.

The player’s goal is to save at least a set percentage of the lemmings by leading them to the level’s exit.

Levels vary in design, with some requiring the rescue of only a handful of lemmings and others demanding careful planning to save large groups under tight time limits.

Instead of controlling lemmings directly, players use a cursor to assign skills drawn from a toolbar at the bottom of the screen.

Available skills differ by level and may be limited in number.

Common abilities include Climbers who scale vertical walls, Floaters who survive long drops, Builders who construct staircases, and Bashers, Miners, or Diggers who carve through terrain.

Other abilities include Blockers who halt the progress of their peers, forcing others to change direction.

Selecting the right skill for the right lemming at the right time is essential for success.

Gameplay involves balancing speed with precision.

Lemmings emerge continuously from an entrance hatch, and their flow must be managed so that they neither rush ahead into danger nor crowd too densely in confined spaces.

Timing is critical when building bridges, digging through obstacles, or diverting groups away from hazards.

Some levels allow liberal use of skills, while others restrict players to only a few, requiring efficiency and experimentation.

The game includes 120 levels divided into four categories: Fun, Tricky, Taxing, and Mayhem.

These categories serve as a difficulty curve, with early stages introducing skills gradually and later levels demanding complex multi-step solutions.

About PC

PC gaming spans over four decades, from early DOS titles to today's massive Steam and digital-storefront libraries. Because "PC" covers everything from 1990s CD-ROM releases to current AAA titles, it's the single largest platform by game count on Gamevaro. For collectors, PC gaming splits into two very different worlds: physical big-box releases from the 1990s and 2000s (increasingly collectible, especially complete-in-box with original manuals and inserts) and the modern digital library, which Gamevaro tracks for portfolio and spending purposes even though it has no resale market.

Gamevaro tracks Lemmings for PC with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Lemmings to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PC release dates back to 1991.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
