Lemmings is a classic puzzle-platformer where you must guide a horde of blindly marching green-haired rodents to safety. On the Sega Master System, the game challenges you to assign specific skillsโlike digging, building, blocking, or parachutingโto individual lemmings to overcome deadly obstacles and reach the exit before time runs out.
How to play: Use the Arrow keys to move your cursor. Press Z or X (Buttons 1 and 2) to select and assign skills from the toolbar, and Enter to pause or start the game.
Tips:
- Blockers are essential for crowd control; place one early to trap the main horde safely while a single “worker” lemming builds the path ahead.
- You can blow up a Blocker once they are no longer needed by assigning them the Bomber skill, which frees the rest of the group.
- Always check your skill counts at the start of a levelโmany puzzles limit you to just one or two uses of a crucial tool like the Builder or Basher.
