Lemmings in OS X?

I don't supose Lemmings ever got ported for OS X?

I know it's playable in Classic, but I don't install Classic/OS 9 any more and want my kids to play Lemmings in a couple of years when they're old enough.

Or run the Mac version in Classic. Still, it is one of those games that I'd like to see as well. If I remember rightly, Lemmings was the first computer game I ever bought ... and I had to buy a mouse too, just so I could play it!

Perhaps Pingus can be compiled on Mac OS X? ... http://pingus.seul.org/

I'd suggest trying out DOSbox with the DOS version of Lemmings before you try running the Win version under VPC. Easier on the wallet and the processor.

There was someone out there trying to port it in the 10.1 era, but I can't find it (website describing the project) anymore. It must have died.

Last time I checked, you could get "Classic" Lemmings for free from
