I actually learned the lemmings thing from the windows 95 era PC game "Lemmings". This is also how I learned that lemmings have green hair!

fun fact, lemmings was developed by a little studio called DMA designs, which later changed name to Rockstar North, and is nowadays most known for the GTA games.

That is indeed a fun fact!

My favourite DMA game was Blood Money.
Good old times!
Thanks for bringing that memory up!

They are skilled with bricklaying and mining tools too ⛏️

I'm not sure if "skilled" is the word, but they get by

Let's go! Door creaks

PC game “Lemmings”

Best game of all time IMHO. "I'll just try one more level" followed by the sunrise.
