It blows my mind that a decent mobile version of this hasn’t been released. One came out a couple of years ago but it was a huge scammy microtransaction pile of

  Well, the concept of the original Lemmings games only works with a mouse-based interface which enables you to (more or less) precisely pick out one Lemming out of the crowd you have milling around on your screen. But there are a few good "save-em-up" games (as the category created by Lemmings was sometimes called in the nineties) for Android. The one I enjoyed most was World of Goo - however I don't recommend playing it on a phone, and it probably also is more enjoyable on a PC with a mouse...

  Ages ago I had the Motorola A1000 - a touch screen phone with a stylus. This had a proper commercial version of Lemmings released for it and it was perfect. The stylus (while annoying for lots of normal phone stuff) was perfect to get pixel accurate lemming selection at speed. Great fun. There was also a tower defence game that was also great use of the stylus. Any other touch screen version I've played never came close to that version from (I'm guessing) 2005.

    I had that phone as well! I remember playing lemmings (also one of my favourite games ever), and a lot of old Lucas Arts adventures with ScummVM.

      Ah yes the scumm emulator was great but I never really got into them. The doom version below me away on that too. That phone had some fun features and got some good software for the time, but as a device, was pretty woeful really.
