congratulations to whomever amongst you who capitalized on this and initially created the Lemmings game for the Amiga

I mean, it was Russell Kay[0], David Jones[1] and Mike Dailly[2], though I don't know if they're here.

Personally I enjoyed the Lemmings Revolution game in the series, and that was much later than the Amiga version.

Lemmings was a huge hit on any platform it was released on. I think I played it on the Mac at the time.

And it has so many clones! I played at least 10 when I was younger with different animals or popular characters, same mechanics of having to save them before they die.
