The Lamentable Later Life of Lemmings

After the original Lemmings became a massive worldwide phenomenon in the early 1990s, rivaling Tetris and SimCity in mainstream appeal, the franchise rapidly declined and was largely forgotten by the turn of the millennium. Rather than becoming an enduring staple like SimCity, Lemmings was reduced to a kitsch fad due to a series of incremental missteps in subsequent games, beginning with sequels like Lemmings 2: The Tribes.
