Oh heck YES. These games have suffered Keep Circulating the Tapes for a while now, not to mention as time goes on, compatibility naturally becomes more difficult, and LEGO has not done diddly-squat to combat that. It would be my dream to have these updated for modern computers; Lego Island Xtreme Stunts is one of the worst cases of these, as it is not only the least known game in the series (despite being miles better than its predecessor), but it is also notoriously difficult to run on modern computers. In fact Windows 98 and XP are pretty much the only ones where it will actually run without any issue, not to mention it also has that evil saving glitch. Some have aged better than others, but all in all I am all for LEGO games on GOG. I'd love to see the Humongous games on there too, given I'm also a big fan of those (more so than LEGO, in fact), since those have also had some issues on modern machines, like how the older ones use 16-bit launchers that cannot be run on 64-bit computers without a workaround. But I wholeheartedly think LEGO deserves a spot as well. They're hit-and-miss games to me, but the ones that are good are really good.

UPDATE: Version 0.1.2 has been released. I'm an idiot and never noticed the code to add d3drm.dll was broken. I'm planing on making a unified modding system for LRR. It's going to be an all-purpose launcher, patcher/mod installer, wad manager, etc. It's going to be written in python, frozen with py2exe for usability. The source and download will be on github. Patchman scripts will be supported. CFG mods will be managed with diff and patch (if I can get it working). If people want, I will even make sure you can play custom music with it. I'll start it out as a launcher, then add modules to it as I go. Anyone who knows python is encouraged to help. Links and updates will be posted here. Current features: Game launching Automatic color depth changing Wad priming Automatic adding of d3drm.dll Telling you off for trying to mod in Program Files Source: GithubDownload: LMS V0.1.2 Currently planned: Launcher Wad management (Priming, manual de/recompiling) Mod management with conflict detection Mod patching (maps, models, animations, etc) CFG patching (if it would quit being stupid) CFG checking Overhaul mode Registry based settings (new) Alternate installer functionality (the disk is obviously required)(new) Possible future additions: Map making and npl scripting In-game custom music playing ???

GOG.com wishlist search for LEGO games: http://www.gog.com/wishlist/games#search=lego&order=votes_total EDIT: Perhaps contact LEGO via Twitter or email to let them know you support this idea. tl;dr: This RRU n00bie/big LEGO and GOG fan is interested in trying to bring classic LEGO games to GOG.com, and was wondering if anyone had any support, suggestions, and feedback. Hey RRU community, I've never posted on your forum before, so I hope I don't speak out of turn, but I have a proposal of sorts that I'm interested in. Some of you may be familiar with the PC/Mac games digital download service GOG.com (formally "Good Old Games" or as I call them, "Good Old Games and more"); despite having moved into new games territory, they are still very well-known around the interwebs as the service dedicated to preserving classic games and tweaking them to work on modern machines. I frequent the forums there A LOT, and thus have a decent reputation and a few developed "digital friendships" over there. A few months back I created a topic dedicated to raising support for bringing the Humongous Entertainment classics (which some of you may be familar with) to GOG, as although they are children's games (which GOG doesn't have very many of), they are very fun point and click adventures of yore. (Plus, the company that bought HE - Atari - is already on GOG, and indie developer Nimbus Games is re-releasing them for iOS and eventually for PC/Mac.) I bring this up because I'm considering doing something similar with the LEGO games (although not tonight; I'm too tired), the pre-movie titles of which are somewhat like the HE games as they are beloved classics that kind of been swept away in the mists of the mind. (Or, both HE games and Lego Island are some of the most posted "nostalgia" images on Reddit Gaming.) GOG will go after games their community shows interest in (look at the recent re-release of System Shock 2) or ones they believe will sell well. They help judge that via the Community Wishlist; I've posted a link to the LEGO titles here: http://www.gog.com/wishlist/games#order=votes_total&search=lego (Please only vote for the ones you're interested in, to keep it accurate.) Also, you can contact GOG saying you would like to see LEGO on GOG here: http://www.gog.com/support/contact/other_questions_issues (just realize you'll get a generic response about how bringing games to GOG can be tricky due to legal and liscensing issues) Having browsed just a tad before posting, it does seem like this community has developed some connections with people who have worked on some of these games, I was wondering if you all could think of anyone who might still have "sway" with those in the LEGO world. I'd be willing to contact them if you don't really want to. In essense, I'm looking for support if you like this idea (email GOG and vote on the wishlist), and for your ideas as to how I can help make this happen. I plan on making a thread on GOG dedicated to this eventually, but again, I'm tired and am partially focused on the HE titles. Thanks everyone. EDIT: Free bonus content is also big over at GOG, so some sort of Lego Island soundtrack would be nice (although getting The Torpedoes music for that release would probably be next to impossible, unless they were desperate for money. ); also, the Lego Island comic book was really fun to look at.

It would be more helpful if you made your own topic asking for help instead of asking in a topic that is meant for something else entirely.

I'm still working on the vanishing part. The only thing I'm working on now is finishing Cirevam's biome for TR; then I'm done with modding. I spend more time on the OC forums than this these days.

I love how everyone has all these boxes and stuff and I just have sleeves and cracked cases.

A super rare minifigure? LET THE BAG FEELING BEGIN!

In Soviet Russia, mine crafts you.

Let me explain the rules more thoroughly. 1. Make posts as a command. By this he means that YOU DO NOT GIVE THE RESPONSES. Lair is the original poster, so he posts the responses. 2. Write in full, descriptive sentences. By this he means that he wants you to not just say "that shelf over there go see whats on the shelf, take the salt off and then pour it in your eyes causing you to spaz out." He wants you to say "Go by the shelf and examine what is on the shelf. If there is salt, pour it in your eyes." 3. Replies like "do that" will be ignored. This means he does not want you to second commands. 4. Don't make posts just to reply to someone else's commands. If there is an issue I will adress it. Kind of obvious. 5. If you want to give a command that is random/funny, do so, but use good sense. You can do funny/random commands, but do not make them too stupid.
