No discussion of where to download games unless they are available legally! Very few titles/ports in the Lemmings series are available legally, any download links without permission cited will be removed.
If you've ever played Lemmings and wanted to take a more hands-on approach, Moons of Darsalon may be worth a try. Coming to PS5 and PS4 on 6th February next year, the game has you playing as a little astronaut who must rescue all the others in each level.
When you find characters, they'll follow along behind you, and it's your job to get them all back to base safely. However, you're actively involved in this action platformer, needing to dispatch aliens, solve puzzles, and overcome obstacles. You'll also make use of large vehicles and blow holes in the destructible environments.
The art and animation is particularly strong here, with what seem to be 3D models converted into this sort of gritty, pixelated style. The jury's still out on whether it's fun to play, although the Steam version stands with a Very Positive rating, so it seems promising.

A while back I was replaying Lemmings 2. I managed to rescue quite a few of the tribes (but only silver), and I'm stuck on a number of levels. This is what my talisman currently looks like.
Back in the 1990s I managed to complete this with gold on everything. However it was a "less than legal" version and I discovered that one of the disks was missing, which had the winning animation on it - so I never got to see it. Piracy doesn't pay, kids.
A series of pictures I made to decorate the bathrooms in Hotel Indigo Dundee. The hotel's decoration is heavily influenced by Dundee's history, and I was asked to create something that incorporated Lemmings, a video game franchise that originated in the city.
