[glow=navy,2,300]So the second lemmings game is like an updated version, but isn't really as good as the first. Sounds like most sequals! ;D
I haven't really played this game that much, but I did play it a few times when I was younger. Except when I played it, it was on the SNES.[/glow]

Actually, real lemmings behave that way as well. Like, every year, they all jump off a cliff or something. I read it in one of my National Geographics. i heard that they mass migrate once a year and all end up drowning in a river or something

We're talking about the emu...you know...aren't you not allowed to discuss stuff like that here? I don't see anywhere that says this topic is specifically about the rom. I wasn't directing it at you anyway. I never expected more from animals... Some animals are quite smart.

[glow=navy,2,300]Typical female response to seeing a picture of an animal . J/k Jaggy. [/glow] Hahaha. Shush. According to some site: Lemmings are widely ridiculed for their apparent need to run off cliffs and quite illogically kill themselves. A game has even been created based on this legend. Obviously, this website perpetuates the rumor, but what is the truth?
According to several sources, lemming suicide is a myth. Overpopulation leads to scarcity of food and overcrowding, in turn causing the animals to migrate in search of food. The lemmings embark on their single-minded quest, swimming lakes and rivers, crossing mountains, eating all vegetation in their path. When they reach the sea, they try to swim it as they would a river and drown in the attempt. This occurs infrequently, even though population fluctuations occur every 3 or 4 years.
The story that lemmings habitually commit suicide may even have been perpetuated by Walt Disney himself. It has been reported that lemmings were herded over a cliff during the production of a Disney film in order to obtain footage of this bizarre (and uncommon) behavior. Visit the Urban Legends Reference Page, or this article from Outside Online to learn more.

Why did the people of those games choose lemmings as the little animal dudes that are going to do whatever

Um... maybe because they're the animals that are perfectly fitted for that job.
