The popularity of the game on the Amiga led to its rapid porting to many other platforms, and is considered to be one of the most widely-ported video games of all time, together with Pac-Man and Tetris.
The game was released for Japan on March 9, 2006, for Europe on March 10, 2006, and for US/Canada on May 23, 2006.
The game was recently also announced for EyeToy - the basic change in the concept is that the player must stretch and use his/her limbs in the recorded picture to aid the lemmings.
It was first published in 1987 for the Atari ST by FTL Games and went on to become the ST's best selling product of all time, reaching an astounding market penetration of more than 50% of the Atari STs ever sold.
The game was also ported to PC, Apple IIGS, SNES, X68000, PC-9801 and FM Towns and translated from English into German, French, Japanese, Chinese and Korean.
It was retired directly from the top spot in the CGW game ratings as one of the original members of the CGW Hall of Fame in November 1989 after having spent almost a year in the top spot with no serious challenger.
