When the Arcade machine was being written, the CEO of Data East apparently
wouldn't start a meeting without challenging the person to a 2-player version
of lemmings! This is also where the fast forward of Lemmings 2 came from, we
saw it in the Arcade version, and borrowed it. Its now very hard to play the
original Amiga one without the fast forward. The arcade version was joystick
or trackball.
