50 Video Game Characters: 46

"Oh no!"



46. Lemmings(Lemmings)

Cute, cuddly and easily manipulated, the Lemmings are creatures of habit. Tell them to move one way and they will. And that's all they do until the reach a wall or pit. So the obvious solution is to assign them jobs, jobs that they will do until the end of time.

The Lemmings are yours to control and do with what you may. Including just letting them all perish. Press the bomb button and all the remaining Lemmings will have a counter over their heads. When it gets to 0, they go "oh no!" and explode in a little puff.

Sadism is well and alive in the cute little world of the Lemmings. Theirs is an evil god, but they press on, every trying to get to the exit and staying pretty precious while they do it.

Best moment: The satisfaction of either A. succeeding in getting them all to the end or B. pressing the bomb button.
