The Lamentable Later Life of Lemmings

The article discusses the decline of the classic platformer game Lemmings, which was released in 1991. The game was developed by DMA Design and published by Psygnosis. The game's popularity peaked in the early 1990s, with the release of the Amiga and Atari ST versions. However, the game's later sequels and spin-offs failed to match the success of the original. In 1997, Psygnosis was acquired by Sony Computer Entertainment, and the Lemmings franchise was sold to Codemasters. The article notes that the game's original creators have since moved on to other projects, and the franchise has been largely dormant. The article concludes that the Lemmings series has not had a significant impact on the gaming industry in recent years.
