Lucky Lucky Lemmings

Warning: The following post contains a high dose of nostalgic goodness. Side effects may include sniffling, weeping, wishing you were back in 1991 and wondering how much your Commodore 64 would be worth today if you hadn't let your mom sell it at a garage sale. Reader discretion is advised.
Aaah, Lemmings. When I saw a screencap of those little white dudes with the crazy green hair and the bright blue smocks marching unquestioningly towards their immanent death I was magically transported back to a time when I used to play this fantastic game on my brother's Commodore 64 (actually, I mostly only got to watch my brother play because I wasn't really allowed to touch the computer). It was a time when life was simpler and graphics were pixelier. It was a time when my brother told me there was a key on the computer that would make it blow up but didn't tell me which one so that I would be too afraid to touch anything. And it was a time when I believed him. And now I (and you) can relive that time whenever I (you) want with an online javascript version of the game.

Thanks for causing me mild psychological trauma, Sash. And thanks for Lemmings!
