I tried playing Lemmings a few months ago and it was crazy frustrating. User interfaces have come a long way since the 90’s. I didn’t really give the game a fair shake and I remember liking it as a kid, so I’ll probably try again.
The very last level, rendezvous at the mountain, isn’t all that difficult. Lots of pausing and scrolling to either end of the map, but as long as you can multitask then it’s doable. Playing through all the Mayhem levels to get there? Man alive. Managed it when I was a young teen, couldn’t do it for the life of me now.
The ‘win’ screen - a static picture of the devs, with a sampled sound of them applauding your efforts - is still one of the most rewarding endings to any game, I think. If you can get there, you deserve that.

Don’t fool yourself, it is also a very hard game once you get into the complex levels. Even if the UI was great I would still struggle.
I remember the handbook and typing in the codes to skip to the hardest levels… I doubt I could do it today
