Collector interest

Lemmings on NES brings DMA Design's puzzler via Sunsoft, released around 1992-1993 in North America late in the console's cycle. The original concept shines, but the conversion arrives late, when the franchise was already thriving on computers and 16-bit systems. Its value rests on the small print run of a late release and Lemmings' global fame rather than the NES version itself. A curiosity for fans of late NES ports of a puzzle classic.
