Warnings

The Windows 3.x release of this game does not work on 64-bit versions of Windows (see Availability for affected releases).

Lemmings is a singleplayer side view platform and puzzle game in the Lemmings series.

The game has multiple fan remakes which come with custom level support and are designed to work on modern computers - SuperLemmini and SuperLemminiToo are some of the most popular, though the above-listed require a copy of Lemmings for Windows 95 to function.

    "Now to run it on something like Windows 10, it’s just a matter of copying the WINLEMM.INI into %sysroot%, along with placing a copy of WING32.DLL into the %sysroot%\SysWOW64 directory and you are good to go!"
