Lemming is a puzzle-platformer created by DMA Design and published by Psygnosis for the Amiga, DOS, and Atari ST in 1991.
Lemmings is one of the most iconic puzzle games ever created, a title that defined the genre and left an enduring legacy in gaming history. Developed by DMA Design and published by Psygnosis in 1991, the game combined innovative mechanics, charming animation, and brilliant level design to create a unique and addictive experience. The origins of Lemmings can be traced back to a simple animation experiment by Mike Dailly, who tested the Amiga's graphical capabilities with a software called Deluxe Paint, by creating a tiny, 8-pixel-tall character that could walk. This "walker" animation, featuring smooth and fluid movement, caught the attention of the rest of the DMA Design team, including Steve Hammond, Russell Kay, Gary Timmons, and David Jones, who saw the potential for a game based on these tiny creatures.
