Lemmings 2: The Tribes 1993

Is it still worth playing?

DMA Design's 1993 puzzle strategy game, the sequel to Lemmings, in which the twelve tribes of Lemming Island face a prophesied darkness and have to assemble the Lemming Talisman. Twelve worlds, one per tribe, have ten levels each, and you can tackle them in any order. Each world begins with sixty lemmings, and the count carries over between levels. You deliver one lemming from the entrance to the exit to advance, and some levels need several lemmings to cooperate, so earlier levels may need replaying to keep enough survivors. There are eight original skills plus 43 new ones, and each level gives a limited number of uses. Medals are gold, silver or bronze by how many lemmings reach the exit. Pause, nuke and fast forward are available. Each level is a puzzle about who to spare, with skills you have to ration and levels that need several lemmings to survive, and it absorbs you today.
