Note: I did played the SNES Lemmings in the old days but didn't played it long enough to know everything about it. The PSP version is where I know more about Lemmings since it refreshed my memory about this game. I'm noticing differences on the traps between the old Lemmings and the PSP as I keep using LemEdit.
There's something different about the spike trap in the Egypt theme from the old Lemmings. The trap can only kill a Lemming when it touches the two middle spikes and not the top or bottom. They will just walk through it. It has less range than the one I know from Lemmings for PSP. In the PSP version, all four spikes can kill a Lemming.
This one I already knew before using LemEdit. This is how the flame thrower looks like in the PSP:
The gray part that looks like a cannon where the fire is coming out from, a Lemming can actually go through that. Because of this, Taxing Level 21 "Feel the heat" is a joke in the PSP version because you don't really have to build over the fire since the Lemmings can just fall through the cannon and not get burned.
