Lemmings (1991)

                                                                 Developer: DMA Design
                                                                   Publisher: Psygnosis


According to pc.gamespy.com

Until 1991, the lemming was an oft-ignored member of the animal kingdom, and justifiably so. Suicidal subniveal rodents don't exactly make for the most inspiring science lecture. While the lemmings' penchant for mass death may be a largely exaggerated phenomenon, that didn't stop Rockstar (then known as DMA Design) from exploiting these critters' most infamous trait for the purpose of evil. Or, better, for the purpose of creating a fantastic puzzler that casts quick-witted gamers as their only hope for salvation.

The Lemmings march to their doom across destructible terrain, towards rocky cliffs or one of the strategically placed exits, depending on how well you calculate things. Proper planning leads to a safe and prosperous victory, whereas failure to carve a safe path for the kamikaze rats provides a seemingly Rube Goldberg-inspired spectacle of self-slaughter. Either way, you're bound to endure a few casualties, so prepare yourself for a bit of guilt and regret. Multiple difficulty levels and stage exits ensure that the game can be manipulated in thousands of variations, as evidenced by the fact that next-gen and handheld Lemmings installments continue to appear today. Not a bad lifespan for an animal so prone to death!
