The mouse is definitely a lot better for moving the cursor around, or even a "Wiimote lightgun" pointer or Touch Screen for the newer incarnations. I'm playing the PS2 version with a SmartJoy Frag and mouse.
The mouse is the way to go for Lemmings. This is why I disliked home console versions of Lemmings. Some games just can't be played as well with a controller.
As you get further in the game the levels take a lot longer to complete. Some of the Mayhem levels take something like 6-7 minutes from what I recall. And it really sucks to eff up 5 minutes in and have to start over...
According to howlongtobeat, Lemmings is a 25-30 hour game!

CD-I port has mouse support!
I have the 3DO port as well but that version doesn't support the mouse. I'm surprised the game takes about 25-30 hrs to finish! I have to try to play with you guys this month.
If you can see the future while remembering the past, you may just have control of the present.
The 25-30 hours sounds high, but keep in mind you will die. A lot.
For what it's worth there's one of those no-deaths/no-big-mistakes "longplay" videos on YouTube - it's six hours long.
The number of ports this game has is staggering. I'd like to try it on Amiga CD32 and the PC Engine CD. I grew up with the floppy disk Mac version, which I still say has the best music out of all of them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUlc5Ufv ... 0F464DC7B8
