This port saw the same enhanced graphics and UI upgrade from their respective standalone ports return, as well as the higher quality music. However, an intro is absent.
This port of Oh No! More Lemmings sees the resolution noticeably increase compared to the original, which can be very obvious when viewing the lemming sprites. The soundtrack also gets clearer and in better quality overall.
This port of Lemmings required the game to be pretty significantly downgraded from its original release on the Amiga due to the 8 bit archeticture of the C64. The graphics and SFX are downgraded, the intro is downgraded, and the reduced width of the screen means that scrolling left and right is much more common.
The Philips CD-i port of Lemmings is pretty similar to the original release. However there are a few changes, most notably the brand new 2 minute long intro movie that completely changes the scene. Also, the UI is slightly tweaked and the soundtrack/SFX are of higher quality, with the soundtrack even getting slightly rerecorded with additional instruments. Unfortunately, the frame rate is incredibly, incredibly slow and choppy as well, making this a pretty undesirable port.
This port of Lemmings saw a pretty heavy graphics downgrade, with the resolution and screen size being reduced considerably. Perhaps most significant is the need to pause the game while choosing different Lemmings, which drastically affects the gameplay in a way that many believe is for the worse. The intro movie also sees a downgrade in resolution quality and the music/sfx are downgraded to 8-bit chiptune sounds.
