pining away

...for Lemmings. i used to have that game on the first computer our family had. we had to close windows 3.5 and run it out of DOS, as we did with most of our games. it was all pixel-y and the lemmings were just little blue rectangles with white faces and pixel-y green hair. they were so cute. i liked the blockers best-- they stood there with their arms out and shook their heads back and forth: "you can't go this way!"

at the same time i got a pleasure out of hitting that button that made them all explode. there would be a little countdown above their heads that went 5...4...3...2...1... and then they'd shake and explode and pixels would go everywhere and there would be little craters blown out of wherever they were standing. ooooooh man. so good.

does anyone know if there's any way for me to get Lemmings again?

music: still ...nothing like the sun
