Gameplay
The PSP version brought back all 120 original levels, added 36 new ones, included expansion pack support, and featured a user level editor.

Players could create levels from pre-rendered objects and share them on a PlayStation-specific Lemmings online community. In October 2006, Rusty Nutz ported the game to PlayStation 2 with EyeToy support, letting players move their limbs to help the lemmings. A 2012 remake by d3t for PlayStation Mobile introduced touch controls and similar graphical upgrades.
