The graphics were high quality.  Sounds like you just didn't like what there
were, cute and benign.  They met my expectations of what Amiga gfx should be;
full of detail, distinct, shaded, textured, et ceter-ed.  As for the size of
the lemmings... they "were tiny little figures" is your game-shattering 
complaint?  The animation did a great job of defining their shape, which is
a lot better than a poorly animated big figure.

Here, I agree.  Some of the harder levels were simply tedious, but not 
challenging...  in fact, they were even fun.  This wasn't the case with the 
early harder levels, but it was as the game progressed.

Now you're just baiting.  "Maybe there are two versions, my shitty one, and the
ones y'all were talking about?"  Yeah, right.
