There were alot of these games. But I suspect most of them are forgotten now.
I had alot of fun with all of them. Though the one I remember best is Lemmings 2: The Tribes, which added a ton of new abilities and things to assign to them. It definitely got pretty loopy.
There was also Lemmings 3D, which was... strange. Not a bad game, but not as good as the others.
The ones I remember were Lemmings and Oh No! More Lemmings - I don't think I finished either but the game was fun (when it wasn't maddening). I am pretty sure there was a Christmas Lemmings! game as well which might have just been a free demo but I remember playing it - it was basically a set of levels like the other two games but the lemmings were all wearing Elf hats and the music was Christmas themed. I am pretty sure that the original game was ported to Flash by someone at some point since I also remember playing it years later in a web browser.

I had Lemmings on my SNES. It's been many years since I played it, but I remember it as starting out as fun, but soon got frustrating. I never got very far. The game was just called Lemmings.

Oh, I loved this game. It was included free in the box of software for my Soundblaster external speaker for my PC in 1995. It was very fun to play, giving those Lemmings the different orders and figuring out how to get them around obstacles and traps to the exit, in order to proceed to the next level.

I love lemmings. The original dos version is the one I'm most familiar with. I used to play it all the time as a kid. Although it's not a lemmings game Lode Runner is another one of my favorite vintage games.

That game was awesome! Spent a lot of time playing it. Lemmings paintball was also a lot of fun! I always liked the pulp fiction reference in one of the cut-scenes in that one!
In the original dos version, "A Beast of A Level" was my favorite level. Loved the look, as well as the music on that stage!
