LEGO Island is one of my favorite childhood games and I thought it'd be a fun project to do some hacking/modding. I've consolidated all my patches so far into one tool: the LEGO Island Rebuilder. It's a LEGO Island launcher/mod tool that currently does the following things: * Set turn and movement speeds. If you're sick of turning too fast on modern PCs, use this to slow it down to a more sane speed (or turn up the movement speed to cheat in races). * Set windowed/full screen mode without editing the registry/administrator privileges (software rendering modes only) * Keep the game active even when defocused (windowed mode only) * Extract and insert music. No sound effects yet, but all music can be replaced with other music of any length or quality. * Doesn't require administrator privileges to run * Patches at runtime - doesn't permanently modify any files. * Can redirect LEGO Island's save files to %APPDATA% so the game doesn't require administrator privileges either (September build only) * Supports Windows 98+ (requires .NET Framework 2.0) Obviously this is a work-in-progress (and your mileage may vary depending on your setup), but check it out if you're interested in LEGO Island! http://itsmattkc.com/rebuilder

(by awkward I mean it feels weird just saying hello in the title) So... hey! I'm just a dude who grew up with LEGOs... and eventually discovered LEGO games, both on LEGO.com and offline games. I've owned a lot of the classic games over the years... except Rock Raiders, ironically enough. I get the feeling I'm seriously missing out. Gonna have to try and track down a copy sooner or later. Among my favorites: LEGO Island: Xtreme Stunts (PC) LEGO Racers (PC) LEGO Racers 2 (PC) LEGO City Undercover (really all the TT LEGO games are good but they start getting repetitive after awhile. This is my favorite out of the bunch that I actually own, though.) Beltz (Web Game) Dreamz (Web Game) Junkbot (Web Game) Junkbot Undercover (Web Game) Worldbuilder (Web Game) Worldbuilder 2 (Web Game) Spybotics: The Nightfall Incident (Web Game) Mars Mission: Crystalien Conflict (Web Game) (This game was so good that I honestly wished they had made a fully-fledged premium video game out of it instead of being simply a web game.) Oh, I also used to own LEGO Fever. Sadly, the game's been lost to time at this point, and I doubt I still have a backup of my files when I did have it installed. From what I remember, the game was basically Junkbot 3.

Oh, I forgot about LEGO Battles! I actually own that. Was able to satisfy my CrystAlien Conflict nostalgia somewhat after its webpage vanished and before I was made aware of the existence of an entire community devoted to fixing bugs with the game... and they've even recently come out with a map editor for it! I could hardly believe it myself when I discovered it. The Nightfall Incident used to be playable on jayisgames.com but due to the EOL of Shockwave, it isn't anymore unless you already have Shockwave and its compatability components installed for Internet Explorer.
