SNES & Sega Genesis Lemmings. Oh no more lemmings is good though.

I think reason i loved retro lemmings. SNES lemmings i´ll pick up this game year 1994 when i was 6 year old. Im not was good with this game then. its take me some 4 years to completed. (we no haves internet or passwords then) So just have to figured out all. If one level roadblock you cannot goes next ones. So its sometimes very tedious.

Sega Genesis lemmings is another super awesome. This lemmings motivate me most make my amgica classic special pack 2. Loved those boards here, not that familar as orginal boards. So my amiga 2 pack contains most sega genesis boards replanned.

Oh no more lemmings is good though, but disliked those timebomb levels. This game contains hugeamount those heck time bomb levels. its repeat a lot.

I´ll also recommend test NES lemmings. Its quite fun, but those horrible controll systems and bit quirky system. You can pause freee this game. I´ll did it with my challenge. Its not easy task.

I've always been a fan of the Acorn Archimedes version of the Lemmings and Oh No! More Lemmings.  The animations are super-smooth and it largely adheres to the original Amiga implementation (e.g. has only a 2-minute timer on Mayhem 15), and the music is quite good for its chipset, which is why I also like the Oh No! port on the Acorn Archimedes because it has a very wide selection of new music tracks, from the Trumpet Hornpipe (Captain Pugwash theme), British Grenadiers, the Camptown Races, Greensleeves and even Wicked 2: Inroducing [sic] SUPERLEMMING! gets a unique and very fitting track... Yakedy Sax!

I've only played Lemmings and Oh No More Lemmings, of what I preferred
For Lemmings its DOS, SNES and Genesis
and For Oh No, Easily DOS

DOS is responsive, it may not have the best music, but its very responsive, which makes why Amiga Oh No having a click delay baffling (I broke a mouse because of it, I'm ashamed at my own rage)

Snes and Genesis make D-Pad control feel responsive, give me a good D-pad and a game that plays well with it, and im set, I've done my entire Lemmings LP using a Dualshock 4 even because of said D-pad.

Of the port I've played but wouldn't play again unless I really have to....PlayStation, why is that a very disappointing version? The music is that very sterile MIDI style where it feels like im playing a religious game instead of feeling more energetic like SNES, Genesis, Archimedes, or C64 even. It doesn't even have the songs from Oh No More Lemmings, the mouse can't be used in tandem with the controller with a cursor that has momentum for some reason. And on a console with 2 controller ports it doesn't even have multiplayer At least with the windows version released at the same time, it lead to custom levels. But dang I'd wouldn't recommend the PS1 version to anyone
