  • Export saves: export the savegame files from your browser, so you can switch to another browser or computer. You can also use them in an emulator installed on your computer.
  • Import saves: import savegames that you exported before with the Export saves button.
  • Download disk: export the whole game from your browser, with all your savegames. Useful to switch to an emulator installed on your computer.
  • Reset game files: if you somehow messed up the game files, you can reset them to an exact copy of the original.
  • Reset saves: delete all savegames from your browser. We recommend that you export them first: there is no turning back!
Import saves?

The saves in the zip file replace your saves that have the same name. If the game runs, it starts again.

Reset game files?

This puts back all the files that the game came with, also the files that you deleted or changed. Files that the game made, such as saves, stay. If the game keeps a save in one of its own files, that save is lost. If the game runs, it starts again.

Delete your saves?

This deletes all your saves and all your changes to this game. You cannot undo this. To keep a copy, export your saves first. If the game runs, it starts again.

F1 - decrease number
F2 - increase number
F3 - F10 - select lemming activity
F11 - pauses game
F12 - causes lemmings to explode

I can't get my mouse to select any of the lemmings. The cursor changes when they walk under it, but there is no interaction otherwise when I click either left or right mouse button. No other keys seem to work.

I played and enjoyed a lot this game in 1991, and now I showed it to my 10 years old daughter, she loved playing lemmings even if it's not a recent 3d game, she said that we had a lot of chance playing this type of game when we were young. :)
PS:
To run the game just type "lemmings" and choose VGA then, high performence PC.
I reached level 16 and surely will continue next time

run and start didn't work, so i typed "vgalemmi" in the field and that finally took me to a few numbered lists that i used to start the game (just hit "1" and enter a few times). worked the first time, but it crashed in level two. restarted after that and it said the disc couldn't be found, so i gave up

I'm on Windows 10. Run LEMMINGS.BAT, VGA, High end PC worked for me, although the colors were (kinda) terrible. The game runs fine. Relived the times I played this on my mom's Nokia and destroyed the arrrows button.

Sometimes it doesn't start. Randomly trying to execute the .bat files usually works after some time.

Works for me in the emulator above, HOWEVER.
one - click into the dos box above before you press 1 or 2
Note that the executable used vgalemmi.exe doesn't work because it's looking for the cd driver that isn't available.
so when you get back to the command prompt run vlem2.exe
voila!

I could not get the game to start -- stuck at the "1 for vga, 2 for ega" screen, as pressing 1 or 2 did nothing.
