Lemmings (レミングス) is a very successful strategy game developed by DMA Design and published by Psygnosis in 1991. It stands as being one of the most ported games in history, seeing a release on dozens of platforms including the Sega Mega Drive, Sega Game Gear and Sega Master System.

The player's task is to guide a number of Lemmings to a goal, trying to make sure they do not kill themselves during transit. Lemmings can be set to do certain functions such as digging or blocking, though the user only has a limited number of these moves in supply.
