When I was like 10 years old I did a commercial and bought a PSP with the money.
One day my grandma offered to buy me a game, so I picked Lemmings off the shelf. She was very concerned whether it would be age appropriate, but I reassured her that the E for Everyone ERSB rating meant it was totally fine, and my mom would have no problems.
Turned out the ERSB mislabeled that game. I mostly avoided the gore after getting bored of it though. The level creator was a lot of fun, and I'm sure the gameplay in general lent itself to my brain being wired for programming.
I totally understand that you got bored of it on the PSP - I was a great fan of the original Amiga game, then years later I tried the SNES version, and found it much less enjoyable to play without a mouse...
