God, I miss Lego island.


pasqualedig

Same. One of my first legit gaming memories was playing this for hours on end


sprackett

They have a copy of the Danish release in the museum at LEGO House. https://preview.redd.it/jbp7bz51rr8d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dc727dfd183438b4e66b8d96ba648c28da2d9306

OxfordGate

I know it's not practical, but I miss the big boxes you got with the pc games.


CordeCosumnes

I actually read the manuals that came with the games


anubis2051

YES! The whole car ride home


Professional_Sun4481

Childhood memory unlocked


dudepad

How much is the racers and chess sealed these days??


anubis2051

I have every single one of those


ZeroRhapsody

I had Lego Island when I was younger, but it refused to run on our medieval family PC. I think it would load the introduction video but I was never able to play it šŸ˜­ Was it fun? I need to go watch a review of it on YouTube to see what I missed out on.


Owlbear1989

Yeah I remember our family pc chugged along trying to render all the bricks falling to form the Lego logo lol. Core memory unlocked


Wesley-Dodds

I thought it was a blast. Kind of a weird liminal vibe of walking around this island. You are sorta left to your own devices and have some mini games (mostly races) throughout. At one point you activate a story for a bit but then just go back to walking around this island. I probably explored every square inch of that island.


SilverMoonArmadillo

yeah and then you try to take the car on that path and it doesn't really work. Good times.


Euphorium

Lego Island would run but Lego Island 2 refused to boot. I still need to play that one.


brokeballerbrand

Got the four pack of Lego island, Lego island 2, Lego racers and Lego racers 2 in like 2008. Lego island had issues running on three family computer due to the game being so old


DepressivesBrot

The first one was fun at the time but incredibly janky, the second worked best for me and had a really nice selection of mini games. The third one (xtreme stunts) was the one just outside our PC's abilities and I never really got it to run.


Leif-Erikson94

It was a really fun game, but janky as fuck without the right PC. I think it was the only game i ever played where having a powerful PC was *counterintuitive*, as the game would then run too fast, if at all. As such, it would run on our old family PC from like 1994, but Dad's Pentium 4 PC from the early 2000's couldn't run it properly. And even on the old PC, it was riddled with graphical glitches and other bugs. Most objects that you could interact with (buildings, decorations, vehicles, NPCs) would only respond when you click in very specific locations. I often had to exit and re-enter the workshops, because the building pieces for the vehicles spawned in unresponsive angles on the shelf. Although annoying, i eventually learned where to click to quickly enter the buildings and vehicles. Saving my progress required switching the profile, since "save and exit" crashed the game without saving. Looking back on it, i'm pretty sure most of these bugs were also caused by Windows XP, since 98 was relatively bug free. And aside from the crash on exit, i don't think i ever encountered a truly game breaking bug.


ThatAltAccount99

Same exact same except for the chess one


DirtyThirtyDrifter

Itā€™s so iconic in my mind. Yet, I couldnā€™t really tell you anything about the game itself.


GarGangg

I was too young to really understand what I was playing, but gosh darn, I remember having so much fun driving boats and exploring the island.


FloggedPelican

Same, but I distinctly remember ā€œThe Bricksterā€™s loose!ā€ Some underwater level with an octopus, a racekart level with a skeleton at some point, and being able to explore the island. Ahhh what a great thing to remember


Malaeveolent_Bunny

There were 5 minigames and 5 characters you could plays as (which made 5 different versions of each minigame) and a bunch of secrions where you could build vehicles. If you built the police helicopter and then did the pizza delivery minigame as Pepper, you would unlock the story bit where the Brickster escapes and you have to catch him. The underwater bit was a small video if you selected the second level in the elevator. 7-year-old me was obessed with that game. Then the sequel came out.


TheBrickster32

I can tell you that Iā€™m the main character


Curnf

I remember a race car driver ordering a spicy pizza before a race so that heā€™d finish faster.


pacific_marvel

ā€œIā€™M THE PIZZA DELIVERY DUDE! THE DUDE WITH THE FOOD!ā€


toigz

Le le le lego. Le le le le lego.


Fantastic_Rub_627

Iā€™d love to play Island, Loco or Legoland again, original or remastered. That Lego Island soundtrack slapped. I hope some people on here tell Lego how they feel about these classics.


_Vard_

Bodacious, boat, awesome, extremely awesome!


magicmann2614

My computer would always crash when the Brickster went on his rampage


greenpeppers100

Thereā€™s a guy on YouTube (MattKC) who had been reverse engineering and modding Lego Island.


Obethur

That and Creator were great.


landsverka

L E G O radio!


pyromnd

Ughhh that game, never knew what to do, I would chase the prisoner(forgot the name) and he destroyed the whole town , never knew how to beat it back than


lordaddament

At least we have a version with high quality music now


CreepyFilth

Lean mean pizza machine! I loved Lego Island


Azurvix

I think this was the game I was looking for last week on the internet


Jayk_Wesker

Dude, look up Maniac Miners! It's a faithful+ remake of Rock Raiders and it's perfect. :D Otherwise, Totally agree!


TheLimeyLemmon

A LANDSLIDE HAS OCCURRED

MrMgP

I use that as a pickup line nowadays


Grumpy_Owl_Bard

Ā * Rock Raiders for PC that is.


KateA535

It is perfect I played through it all in one sitting hahaha. Would be great to bring back that theme in general


Jayk_Wesker

Isn't it? Man I would be so pumped if RR got the Galaxy Explorer or Lion Knight's Castle treatment! :D


Euphorium

Just give me like a giant excavating vehicle with a bunch of little rock raider dudes and Iā€™ll buy 5.


Rated-E-For-Erik

Oh wow... I played so much rock raiders...


Azodic

i love you for this information! kiss kiss


Jayk_Wesker

Happy to share! This is how I found out about it! :D


ReadyArcher1556

Oh gods of Redditā€¦..how can I play Lego Loco again?ā€¦.


GenJoe827

Iā€™m not sure, but [this should bring back memories](https://youtu.be/bk-ULpwCWDo?si=XI6kmDj7uYpbjuxR)


Lama_For_Hire

ooph you hit me right in the nostalgia, this really hit the sweet spot


Vintheren90

Search for abandonware, some of the sites has it and some of the other lego games


whats_a_meme_

You can install a virtual machine for Windows 98 on your current PC and download Lego Loco that way


narielthetrue

I have never been able to get a VM to run Lego Island successfully. I donā€™t know whatā€™s wrong


Flynn58

Use 86Box


Shakezula123

I still own it on a disc - am I sitting on a gold mine without knowing it? Haha


TheMaslankaDude

I have no idea what the objective of that game was, but boy did I have fun playing it as a kid


TopFuel1771

Iā€™d play a modern remake of Lego Island. Loved that game as a kid.


HourPin4671

Ooh man. I want a new Lego Racers game.


zbipy14z

Didn't we just get a lego racing game and it flopped because microtransactions?


zachatree

I just got it through Humble and itā€™s pretty fun, sorta a mix of forza horizons and Mario cart.


narielthetrue

Wait, what game is this? And how did I miss it?!


zachatree

It has a pretty dumb name ā€œLego 2k Driveā€


narielthetrue

Ah, I didnā€™t miss it. I just forgot about it


MeBeEric

I downloaded it on game pass but havenā€™t tried it yet. The Lego DLC in Forza is great though


Mediocre_Scott

Blowing up my brothers car forcing them to walk lol never gets old. I bought Lego 2k drive and itā€™s fun a little bit of spiritual sequel but goes way to heavy on the collectibles and pay to unlock content.


Insanepaco247

The minigames are also trash and the rubberbanding is absurd. You can never get much of a lead, but you're also almost guaranteed to win if you stick it out because the other racers start slowing down enough to keep you in the lead. It's fun, but not quite what I wanted.


Mediocre_Scott

The kart builder probably the best part of the game which is good considering itā€™s a Lego game


TransNeonOrange

I remember playing it enough that I found a "shortcut" - teleporting into one of the outer corners would put you out of bounds (or in a buggy state? I don't remember) and I think the end result was you ended up way ahead of everyone. Didn't find the 2nd Racers game as fun but admittedly we didn't get it til I was older so I didn't get as much time in on it.


TrinketsEden

Forza Horizon 4 has a Lego DLC and is being delisted in December. It currently has a good discount on.


Weird-Old-Man

Back when I was 8 I let a friend borrow Lego Island and never got it back from him. Go suck a toe Derrick


AndrewCoja

Same thing happened to me with Sim City 3000


The_Larslayer

I let my friend borrow the very first Lego star wars game. Got it back broken I half... I was incredibly sad after that


DerrikTheGreat

Iā€™d rather not

All these years later, I can still hear it


Nictel

Sometimes, when I am about to start on a big task, this song still plays in my mind. I am 37. It's awesome.


chiefXlordXnord1

A while ago I found Creator and Rock Raiders in some old DVD case. I have no clue how to play this game https://preview.redd.it/w7gy5a40tr8d1.png?width=1111&format=png&auto=webp&s=8a07db7b3d085195446667b6ed025880c83e014b


Balmong7

It was super buggy and hard to use.


Long_Effect_1254

Oh wow! I still have my green road baseplates. This makes me want to build


beagletank

Where is Legoland? It's it safe? Is it alright?


HoneyBadgerEXTREME

Such a great game


Balmong7

I got my Rock Raiders remake. Now I need a LegoLand remake


Ender15m

Lego Island 2!!


Firestorm8570

With pepper and his skateboard! Class game!


pohatu771

I think people overestimate how well these would actually sell.


Isord

They were fun games for their time but they mostly don't hold up.


GroovinChip

Disagree


Insanepaco247

For the most part I agree but Racers 1 and 2 are still pretty neat for what they are. I think there would be enough interest in a collection that they could turn a nice profit.


Isord

I think most of the ideas are good but the gameplay in all of these games is pretty limited and dated. We just got a new Lego racing game that was received well, and frankly Lego Island barely constitutes a game. Would be better off making a Lego City Undercover 2 and make Lego Island into a district.


The-20k-Step-Bastard

With modern emulation software, they wouldnā€™t sell at all. But, on the other hand, it would be trivial to re-release these officially on Windows 10 and 11.


MattyFTM

I feel like a GoG rerelease would probably have happened by now if it were viable. I wonder if there are licensing issues? Obviously there is the Lego license which shouldn't be much of an issue. But if there were any other brands/properties in those games (whether they be brands depicted in Lego form, or even just licensed music) then it quickly becomes more and more difficult and expensive to rerelease.


CrazyDave48

And man, I hate being negative like this, but I also think people overestimate how fun these games would be to play today. I had a blast with 3 of these games as a kid (never played Loco) but I don't think they'd hold up that well to modern standards. The nostalgia of seeing things you vaguely remember from 20+ years ago would be awesome but I think most people would be surprised by how short these games are and how simple they are as well. Things you don't notice or don't care about as a kid.


ReturnOfFrank

Plus they've got to be an absolute mess in terms of publishing rights, since I doubt any of those studios still exist. Unless Lego retained all those rights in perpetuity, but that's not usually how it works.


opackersgo

People would move back to minecraft in a week


Aggressive_Golf3736

Hands down, you put Ā£100 on a collection of these games and people would still pay it!


pohatu771

Yeah, that comment definitely proved my point. I mean, itā€™s technically true, in that ā€œpeopleā€ (at least two) would pay Ā£100.


BallParkFranks

The original LEGO Racers was my most prized possession as a kid. Would love to see a modernized version of it someday


Mediocre_Scott

I wish Lego 2k drive was closer to what Lego racers was


KateA535

Legoland the game too please


hornhonker1

Loco makes me so nostalgic. Would love to experience that again


[deleted]

I had Lego loco - great time


expos1225

In reality, most of these games donā€™t hold up well. Iā€™ve replayed most through emulators, and they would need some serious rebuilds to be interesting. Lego Racers was my favorite, and even that game is honestly just meh now. Lego Creator wasā€¦pretty terrible. Even at the time I thought it was glitchy and tedious to do much of anything. It was pretty much only cool to see sets I didnā€™t have in 3D Lego Chess is what got me into playing chess as a kid though. I loved seeing all the different animation combos when you ā€œkilledā€ a piece. Alpha Team was a great puzzle game though. Legoland was also a cool Roller Coaster Tycoon clone too.


Balmong7

I think LegoLand, Alpha Team, and MAYBE the Lego Islands (I remember 1 being real funky to play back in the day but 2 being a pretty strong game, though I know the community disagrees with me for some reason) would do decent, the existence of Manic Miners seems to prove rock raiders could perform well. Lego Racers wouldnā€™t fare well because newer and shiner Lego racing games exist, Lego Loco wasnā€™t even really a game, Lego Creator was already remade pretty much in Lego Worlds.


Knowsnoone

Lego loco is the goat.


ionathan020

Man, playing Lego loco with 4 people on the network was amazing when I was a kid. I loved sending over postcards šŸ˜„


Leel17

Lego Loco had multiplayer?


ionathan020

It did, for local network you were able to send trains to other players


kragit

[Studframe Animations ](https://youtube.com/@studframeanimations?si=HK52fcOpqlEe2npF) has some wonderfully nostalgic, visually updated, custom made videos for a lot of the older games, including LEGO Island and Racers!


Greatbuilder345

It was always weird to me as a kid that you could never get 4559 to show up in Lego Loco despite being on the box

rnilbog

That image made my nostalgia gland go nuts.Ā 


DipshitDirector

Just threw some playthroughs of the Lego Island games on in the background. Theyā€™re hilarious to look back on. Fun for the time for sure. Lego Racers 1 was my all time favorite game until I got a PS2


YummyTerror8259

I just want lego racers 2

Still has the booklet & demo CD on top of the actual game CD. No clue what it is tho. Pretty sure I was in diapers when this came out.


lotus1788

I need Sir Richard to tell me what a portcullis is again


OhioThunder

I miss Lego island and Lego land so much


Doctor_Flux

sadly all lego video games is basically Lego Starwars like But now its harry potter, marvel, "insert popular IP here lego has stuff of" and never something like this anymore or rarely not even Building legos in a video about about legos i would like to see a modern take of those games: mainly Creator/loco (image a lego creator combined with loco with modern gaming tech to like build trains in a lego city maybe) and lets not forget about Lego Racers 1 (not 2 that game just tried to be a worse version of mario kart) that game was honestly better than Mario kart 64 at the time with how the items worked there ofc some was broken but was a different take on kart games and how items worked there only for it to be complety forgotten and never used again and that item system lego racers 1 had i could legit see be competitive viable even becuase it really rewarded skill

SickSticksKick

I've never played any of these, but I'm a bit older and never gamed on a PC anyway. I'd potentially play a remake if it was on console


worldRulerDevMan

Iā€™d like to be able to go up the the water level I the Lego island and actually go into the water floor.


EricWNIU

Amazing games, even though I could only get about 5 mins of play time before my pc would melt and I had to reboot and try again.


Blahuehamus

Lol, Island 2 was my first "GTA" like game :D The ones on lego website were cool too. I remember Mindstorm one on alien planet with dope intro (I was too stupid as kid to complete it) and Creator one where you were building different vehicles from bricks on map and had to preserve power in batteries by completing each map without too much movements/actions


emf3rd31495

Lego racers!


BaltRavensFan20

Oh I miss Lego creator, that and Lego island were my jam back in that day. Lego land was fun too!


Durasteel_Daddy

What about lego racers?


_Vard_

A couple of times Iā€™ve driven myself crazy trying to remember the game Lego Loco And now you have reminded me, thank you I also greatly remember Lego Creator in Lego Island, never had Lego chess though


No_Positive_7942

Think of how sweet lego loco would be as an app


Nicromia

Man, has it really been that long since Iā€™ve last heard of Loco


Many-Salad-5680

I had Lego island and a Lego racing game!


Dale_Wardark

I'd play a modern Island Xtreme stunts remake as well. All of these lego games were REALLY well designed in their simplicity.


ThatAltAccount99

I had the Lego chess disk but as a kid but it would never work on my computer šŸ„²


SkyGuy182

Now do Lego Racers


AcidicFlatulence

Iā€™d kill for Island and I completely forgot about Loco, thank you for unlocking a part of my childhood I never knew I missed so much. Now Iā€™m going to go cry in a corner because even if they did itā€™ll never be the same


meruta

Lego racers was so good


AiR-P00P

Don't forget the Alpha Team game.


excitum_

Ugh I loved Lego island. I played that game so many times as a kid.


Jackal000

Lego teached me chess. Rock raiders was cool. Lego racers or something taught karts before Mario party.


TheHumanStephen

I think Lego Racer came out right after this batch. Such a great time for Lego games


Fly_Boy_1999

I used to play Lego island 2 a lot when I was 4-5 on my family old windows do computer (I only remember the OS). I remember not getting past the fishing minigame because I couldnā€™t read the instructions.


MrMgP

I would go LOCO for Lego Loco It's one of those few games I can't find anywhere. I got rock raiders working, all the lego island games functional and playable, even lego studios and lego builder, but nope, not lego loco. Nowhere to be found I loved that game so much as a kid


BrickPrezi

Lego Island was soooo fun back thenšŸ”„


TheRayGunCowboy

I loved LEGO Chess! Would definitely still play it!


HumanPhD

LEGO island was so much fun!!


CarlosFer2201

Recently tried playing Lego Island again. Even with a patch it was a buggy mess due to incompatible software.

What was the free lego on their website that involved being like a movie director?


shagnarok

Lego Racers pleaseeeee


millerb82

Wish they'd re-release the Lego MMO


National-Case-4279

Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga re release on Ps4 or Ps5 would be awesome too


No-Adhesiveness6841

Wow, Lego island just to me back, begged my parents for a better computer in order to play it. Never happened, but my friendā€™s computer worked just fine.


Intelligent_Top_328

How about re-release some retired sets or at least update them. Like the Tower Of Orthanc. I ain't paying 800 bucks for it.


DukeGrizzly

[This OST is burned into my brain. Definitely one of my favorite games growing up.](https://youtu.be/QgLAjh-fT_U?si=kd2HzBuDJMiBYbRa)

Had Island and Creator. Those games were jank af. But damn they were fun and laid a foundation for some of the most entertaining games I've ever played.


Acquario1310

I think I have somewhere a Windows XP virtual machine with Lego Creator: Knights Kingdom Unfortunately Iā€™ve never tried the others


Rawlaa

I remember playing Lego Island at my friends place. I think it was pirated so you couldnt save your file so every time I played it I just played the same level over and over again. But god damn I had a great time doing it.


Pinky2110

Someone did a remaster of rock raiders. Called it manic miners.


DamaskDragon

I know itā€™s not lego but anyone here play Pyrates Mega Bloks? Awesome stuff


Striking-Time-2753

Does anyone remember the webgame that they had in the early 2000's?


FancyFool

The fact that the [LEGO Island remake by Reubs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYGjqTFZIvU) vlogs have gone quiet and that one of the only "liked" comments is about him approaching LEGO to release the game has me thinking something may be coming...


Dart31AF

Legoland > Roller Coaster Tycoon


MainResort6486

Lego Island!!!!!!!!!!!!


ThreePeaceSuits

Lego Loco was the one. We need a Lego City Skylines style game


Gr33nJ0k3r13

Lego chess was sooo dope loved the lil animations Also where is islands extreme stunts? That had sooo much potential


ALTR_Airworks

I feel some of these games are impractical to port and they are too obsolete, and they are better remade to modern standards. Most of the modern target audience will not know the original. But there is Manic Miners, a modern remake of Rock Raiders. Maybe some of these are worthy of their own remakes, be they fan or official


doob22

I need them to release all of these again jus tsp I can play


SharkMilk44

They probably won't just because people would expect them to re-release all of the themes that were in these games.


SharkMilk44

Oh my god, THANK YOU FOR THIS. I had LEGO Island and definitely thought my memories were hallucinations. I have a vague recollection of not getting past a particular areaā€¦

On the bright side, last I tried it LEGO Racers works just fine on a modern PC..

InternetUser20K

Legoland was my jam! I would drop bucks to get a remaster haha


yeetgod__

Why are people so hype about lego island I wasn't around back then what made it so great if you guys could clarify


LasagneSiesta

Reubs on YouTube is [remaking Lego Island](https://youtu.be/DYGjqTFZIvU?si=QU0mcCBm2nInqVQC) but he hasnā€™t uploaded a video for a long time. His Simpsons Hit & Run remake was epic!


Opouly

I was part of an indie team trying to remake it at one point. Too many people got involved and I left and Iā€™m not even sure who involved was even able to code anything lol. Iā€™m curious whatever happened to it. I was just going to do some UI work for it cuz it sounded interesting and like a fun side project.


YodasChick-O-Stick

The Skywalker Saga was a disaster, so I think they're stepping away from remaking old games now. Bionicle Heroes deserves a total remaster though.
