Description
2D platformer by Psygnosis and Lemmings spin-off where Lomax must save his Lemming-Land village turned into monstrous hordes by Evil Ed. Created by Psygnosis, released in 1996 in Europe and Japan. Over forty colorful 2D levels, costumes granting different powers, puzzles and bosses and Tim Wright's cheerful soundtrack. European and Japanese edition.
A platformer spun off from the Lemmings universe, transposing its little creatures into a more classic 2D adventure by Psygnosis. Its decent distribution, rarer in Japan than in Europe, makes it a curiosity for fans of the franchise and of mid-generation platformers. Its interest lies in this Lemmings link rather than a general scarcity of the title.
Is Lomax still worth playing in 2026?
