And now for something completely different. That Monty Python phrase would make a pretty good intro line for Lemmings , which first debuted in 1991. This was one of my favorites a cross between a puzzle game and an action game, with a lot of humor built in.
Lemmings is probably one of the hardest games to describe to someone who has never seen it before.
Anyway, you have to get them to the exit of each stage, without getting them all killed, cause they will walk right off of a cliff if you let them. Without letting them get themselves killed. Well, needless to say, I didn't get it until I actually played the game, then it made perfect sense. Every stage has an entrance and an exit, the entrance looks like a trapdoor, the exit looks like a stone doorway. They will walk in one direction until something stops them or kills them.
