Sometimes I wish I could just shout “Oh no!”, grab my head and explode…
Now do the Nvidia DLSS 5.0 version.
No, j/k, do not do that. Pixelation, imagination, and simple but unique gameplay are what made those games great. Even back in 2000 for EverQuest, I said I would trade the graphical improvements of the game for the alpha test version’s blocky low textures and simpler animations if we could have all that its marketing demo had suggested would be possible.
Organisms shooting DNA at each other to make babies, I find it offensive!

https://archive.org/details/gg_Lemmings_1992Probe_Psygnosis_SegaI tried playing Lemmings a few months ago and it was crazy frustrating. User interfaces have come a long way since the 90’s. I didn’t really give the game a fair shake and I remember liking it as a kid, so I’ll probably try again.
Don’t fool yourself, it is also a very hard game once you get into the complex levels. Even if the UI was great I would still struggle.
I remember the handbook and typing in the codes to skip to the hardest levels… I doubt I could do it today
The very last level, rendezvous at the mountain, isn’t all that difficult. Lots of pausing and scrolling to either end of the map, but as long as you can multitask then it’s doable. Playing through all the Mayhem levels to get there? Man alive. Managed it when I was a young teen, couldn’t do it for the life of me now.
The ‘win’ screen - a static picture of the devs, with a sampled sound of them applauding your efforts - is still one of the most rewarding endings to any game, I think. If you can get there, you deserve that.
So many hours of my life went into those games.
Oh no!
This is amazing.
Let’s go!
