Actually....Lemmings on the C64 uses a really neat sprite trick. That playfield is done in sprites, and the lemmings use characters (probably stored in vertical columns as its much quicker).
The sprites are then placed behind the background. This gives 2 playfields and allows much faster drawing of the Lemmings....pitty the P4 can't do that...Oh well.
I used 2 playfields on the SNES as well, and used a 4 colour screen for drawing the lemmings....soo much easier. Course... it also had DMA meaning the clear screen was much faster as well.
