An innovative 3D version of the classic Lemmings, 3D Lemmings took the great gameplay of its forerunner to a whole new level. The official blurb: “The game features include twenty trainer levels, allowing Lemmings fans the chance to experiment with their new found freedom; ten unique graphically themed sections with a hundred levels in total; nine Lemmings skills fully-rendered ‘Lemmings last request reward screens: quirky new sound samples and unique ‘Lemmings – eye view’ options that put the player into the shoes of our little green haired friends as they leap to victory – or doom.”

The concept is still the same– assign foolish lemmings various roles as diggers, blockers etc. to lead the tribe to safety– but now you can do it all in true 3D, observing the action from any angle. Controls are confusing, but you can use the practice mode to learn the ropes. Good “auto-replay” function rounds off this underdog 🙂
