DHTML Lemmings is still playable in a modern browser: https://www.elizium.nu/scripts/lemmings/ https://www.elizium.nu/scripts/lemmings/ It's dated 2004, but I'm convinced I remember playing it earlier.

  It used to (see control.js) but it doesn't seem to be working anymore.

The first version is from 2003: https://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_message/18377456#18377456 https://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_message/18377456#1... It got taken down shortly after that by BREIN, the Dutch copyright watchdog, but it lives on as Pumpkins. Amazing that JS from the Internet Explorer era still works well 20 years later.

Anyone know why this is hosted on a metal band's website?

  From what I see, bot the developer of the DHTML version and the band are from Netherlands, and the developer had to take the game down from his site [0] So maybe somebody uploaded it in support. 0: https://crisp.home.xs4all.nl/lemmings/lemmings.html

Dynamic HTML? This thing doesn't use canvas, pretty cool.

Absolutely wild this doesn't use <canvas>! I remember playing this way back in the day, before I was a SWE, and didn't really appreciate that fact. Of course, I'm sure it predates being able to effectively use the canvas... but still! Super cool. I can't seem to find it online anywhere, but I'm also reminded of the knockoff game "Flea Circus" which I played in grade school :)
