The original game did not include a fast-forward option, meaning the player would have to wait in real time for the lemmings to either die or exit the level. It was only after working on the ultimately doomed attempt to create a Lemmings arcade cabinet for Data East in 1991 that the fast-forward icon was included in Lemmings on the Atari Lynx and Lemmings 2 and the process was sped up.
