To stop other Lemmings from walking in a certain direction you make a Lemming a Blocker. To stop them you as some kind of God, would need to assign them little jobs. These green haired bastards would simply walk off cliffs, into fires, water, lava whatever that was going to basically kill them. Problem is that these Lemmings were pretty damn stupid and had no common sense. A ton of humanoid creatures called "Lemmings" fall out of a trapdoor in the sky and you have to guide them safely home. Like most hugely successful home computer titles it got ported to pretty much EVERYTHING that could do it even the ZX81! It followed Tetris in becoming the premier puzzle title. Lemmings was a huuuuuge ass hit, first coming to the Amiga 500 and Atari ST, it was so popular Commodore decided to package it with their awesome computer which helped shift a ton of Amigas back in the day. ​Before hitting the headlines for all the wrong reasons with Grand Theft Auto and Manhunt, Rockstar North was called DMA Design and in 1991 they hit upon gaming gold with an addictive puzzler named Lemmings, it was the Angry Birds of the 90's only it required skill.
