What exactly is your reason for choosing the NES version?
At least two major differences between the NES version and the 'proper' versions (Amiga, PC, SNES, Genesis, etc.) have been pointed out, as well as a few others that haven't been mentioned:
1. (already mentioned) You cannot alter the drop rate, which means some levels will require some rather long waits.
2. (already mentioned) 20 of the levels in the game have mysteriously vanished, most likely due to space constraints.
3. It only has 8 in-level songs (out of the original 17), and they don't sound that good.
4. Its graphics are of rather poor quality.
5. Many of the remaining levels have been physically altered. To name a few:
* In the first level of 'Fun' difficulty (Just Dig), if you have one lemming dig down to the exit, all remaining lemmings who fall down that hole will crater; this does not happen in the proper versions.
* In the first level of 'Tricky' difficulty (This should be a doddle!), 13 of 14 lemmings (at a fixed release rate of 50) must be saved within 2 minutes using exactly 1 blocker, 1 bomber, 3 builders, and 1 basher. In the proper versions, 50 of 100 lemmings (with a base release rate of 50) must be saved within 4 minutes with 10 of each job available.
* In the first level of 'Mayhem' difficulty (Steel Works), the lemmings will safely fall from the gate and land on the steel platform. In the proper versions, they will not survive the fall from the trapdoor and will crater, requiring the player to use several floaters, blockers, and builders to make a small bridge to catch them.
6. Some elements of gameplay have been altered; namely, builders build upwards at a 45 degree angle instead of at a ~26.6 degree angle (across 2, up 1).
and the most important: u cant play music by yourself using the tools lol XD

i think it can be made exceptions in situations like that, where its impossible to make this TA without determinated things saved in SRAM, and only under an avaliation to prove that there's no cheats in the game.. this could open the range of possible timeattacks available without a lie to the viewers.. in addition, it can be made a rule to punish the users who tries to put something with cheats on the website..
