Trivia
  • This is a spin-off of the more popular series Lemmings. In that game, it's more a puzzle game, not adventure. Lomax's skills in this game were the skills of individual Lemmings in other games.
     
  • Music not included, this game was developed by two people. Yes, two.
     
  • If the game looks oddly familiar, it should. The two people who worked on the game were the guys who did the Sega CD game Flink, which shares the same level design and animation style. 
     
  • At the time, the game presented a somewhat novel attempt to start pushing earlier 3D attempts through 2D ideas. This was achieved by layering the stage levels atop of one another, allowing the player to walk into and out of the current area up to 9 layers deep. Some of the older games that began pioneering this theory included Super Mario Bros. 3 (dropping into the background) and Fatal Fury (jumping between foreground and background).
