3D Lemmings is a computer game released in 1995, developed by Clockwork Games and published by Psygnosis. The gameplay is mostly the same as the original Lemmings game, requiring you to lead all the lemmings to their exit by giving them the appropriate "skills". While all previous games of the series were 2-dimensional, this was the first to be in 3D. It was released for DOS, PlayStation and the Sega Saturn.

Storyline
The storyline in 3D Lemmings appears unrelated to previous Lemmings games, presumably because the story in All New World of Lemmings never got completed, and because the previous developer, DMA Design, was no longer involved in the series. Instead, there is an introduction movie showing a completely flat (2D) lemming popping out of a computer's floppy drive, and finding a "3D" button to press, which makes him 3-dimensional. After that, the PC blows up and the (now 3D) lemmings inside it escape. All New World of Lemmings is a computer game released in 1994, as the third game in the popular Lemmings puzzle game series. ...

Gameplay 3D Lemmings is played by using four different, movable cameras to fly around and get an overview of the level. While some levels have fixed cameras, most of the time they can be freely moved at any time, although without the ability to tilt up or down. Another viewing option is the "virtual lemming" which allows the player to see through the eyes of a selected lemming. A camera is a device used to take pictures (usually photographs), either singly or in sequence, with or without sound, such as with video cameras. ...
The virtual is a concept applied in many fields with somewhat differing connotations, and also denotations. ...
All skills from the original game are available, with one new one: the turner. A turner is similar to a blocker, in that he stands still in one place and can only be removed by being blown up. However, instead of making other lemmings turn back, he directs them 90 degrees either left or right, as chosen by the player. Diagonally positioned blocks in levels will also make lemmings move left or right (basically reflecting them). In mathematics, diagonal has a geometric meaning, and a derived meaning as used in square tables and matrix terminology. ...
One of the by-products of being 3D was the importance of the camera-handling. Even though most of the levels didn't need complex camera setups, some levels could only be solved if the player was skilled enough to move the camera in the correct way - or by using the Virtual Lemming mode: One level featured a massive indestructible block of wall with the lemmings arriving on top - the only way the player was able to deliver the lemmings to the bottom floor was by digging through a certain part of the block which was left destructible - the only way to handle that was to use the VL mode because the player was unable to fit the camera through the hole. Some levels included rooms or halls where the camera couldn't go in to (or come out from) and the player had to peek in through windows or use VL mode. In computer and video games, a level (sometimes called a stage, course, episode, round, world, map, wave, board, phase, or landscape) is a separate area in a games virtual world, in modern games typically representing a specific location such as a building or a city. ...
The release rate buttons (in-/de- crease rate of lemmings), instant replay mode, and fast forward button all return from previous games. Levels are once again divided into four difficulty settings: Fun, Tricky, Taxing and Mayhem. There are 20 levels of each setting, with 20 more practice levels to learn about different game elements. Each level has a set amount of lemmings again, and can be returned to through the use of passwords. Jump to: navigation, search For the album by The Monkees, see Instant Replay (Monkees). ...

3D Lemmings Winterland An additional level pack/playable demo named 3D Lemmings Winterland was released for 3D Lemmings on the PC, which included six levels with in a new winter style. The gameplay stayed the same. The word demo has different meanings, most of which are derived from shortening the word demonstration. ...
