Lemmings....

Ok...back in the early 90s my husband had a super intendo which I bought games for and have since took over that machine since the creation of playstation 2.....well, I dug out a very old game call Lemmings....what are lemmings?

Lemming suicide is fiction. Contrary to popular belief, lemmings do not
periodically hurl themselves off of cliffs and into the sea. Cyclical explosions
in population do occasionally induce lemmings to attempt to migrate to areas of
lesser population density. When such a migration occurs, some lemmings die by
falling over cliffs or drowning in lakes or rivers. These deaths are not
deliberate "suicide" attempts, however, but accidental deaths resulting from the
lemmings' venturing into unfamiliar territories and being crowded and pushed
over dangerous ledges. In fact, when the competition for food, space, or mates
becomes too intense, lemmings are much more likely to kill each other than to
kill themselves.


The object to the game is to save as many lemmings as you can before the committ "suicide" in other words they are to stupid not to jump off a cliff after someone else just did! hmmm that trait sounds fimilar. Besides it's just nice to know I can nuke them all and start over! the power! the CONTROL and it's all about control with me!
