Is it still worth playing?

Green haired lemmings walk out of trap doors in a steady line, and you have to guide enough of them to the exit in this 1991 puzzle game that first came out for the Amiga. You never steer them directly. Instead you assign limited uses of eight skills to single lemmings: digger, miner, basher, blocker, bomber, builder, floater and climber. Unless given a task, a lemming walks in one direction, falls off edges and turns around at obstacles, and it can die from a long fall, lava, water, traps or a bomber countdown. Every level has a time limit, after which all the lemmings explode, and each has a quota to save. There are 120 levels in four difficulties, called Fun, Tricky, Taxing and Mayhem. Every level is still a problem of which skill to give to which lemming.
