Xmas Lemmings is a series of short computer games released in 1991, 1992, 1993 and 1994, as additional level packs to the original Lemmings game. Also known as Christmas Lemmings or Holiday Lemmings, the games were developed by DMA Design and published by Psygnosis. The levels were made available only for the Amiga, DOS, and Macintosh.
The gameplay remained exactly the same as the original Lemmings game, requiring you to lead the required number of lemmings to their exit by giving them the appropriate "skills". The original game Lemmings was not required to play any of the Xmas Lemmings games.
The difference between these games and the original game were the Christmas/snow-styled graphics of the levels, and that all the Lemmings wore Santa Claus suits.
[edit] The Games
- Xmas Lemmings 1991 had only four levels and was a freely available Lemmings demo. Two christmas levels, two new levels from Oh No! More Lemmings.
- Xmas Lemmings 1992, like 1991 had four levels and was free. This time, they were all Christmas-themed.
- Holiday Lemmings 1993 had difficulty ratings "Flurry" and "Blitz" with 16 levels each, and was sold in stores at first, but was later made freely available with the release of Holiday Lemmings 1994.
- Holiday Lemmings 1994 was sold in stores and had difficulty ratings "Frost" and "Hail" with 16 levels each, plus the levels from 1993.
In late 1995, versions of the game 3D Lemmings came out with 3D Lemmings Winterland included, which was an expansion pack of four levels with wintery graphics. While it wasn't particularly Christmas-themed, but rather had the themes from 3D Lemmings disguised, its concept appears to be a conclusion of the Xmas Lemmings games.
