Yeah, this is my entry on this competition. Music is my passion when we are talking about creationg something own. My original plan was making 10-20 mins medley which would have included all songs but I encountered some technical problems so I abandoned that plan and went on this. LEGO Racers is for me THE game. I first played this game when I had only demo version of this game. Around 2-3 years after that my big brother installed the full version and that was like dream. I finally could save the karts I made and those extra tracks were awesome. I and my younger siblings sucked on that game but we got in Basil the Batlord Then our first PC broke and there went LR I tried to ask my brother to install it again but he was on in his teens and didn't listened me. Around 3-4 years after that we got own gaming PC (for children) and my big bro installed the LR again. I was so happy about that. First time I beat the Rocket Racer and that was such achievement for me :DD Today I just try explore this game and go back the "better days in gaming". When I hear the Main Menu Theme I instatly get cold vibes on my bones and I start jamming it myself I just hoped taht this game would be little harder and multiplayer would be more interesting. Otherwise it's 10/10 game for me.

Lego Island 1 Music production memories: I was the guy they pulled in to overlook the music for the product, though Wes Jenkins, Kyle Bogertman and various Mindscape management people were way over my head. I picked some and supplied some, and resources were tapped that were beyond my choosing. At that time, I lived in Sausalito, CA on a houseboat that contained my studio, a nice deck and the usual necessary rooms. Wes and Kyle lived in San Francisco on Van Ness at the time, so the Golden Gate Bridge was between them and me. Most of the work that I did myself was done alone on my houseboat. Flying Rhino Studios was where we recorded musical additions, voice parts and did most of the audio mastering. We had regularly scheduled meetings at Wes and Kyle's place to discuss game details, musical submissions, etc. During those meetings, we usually listened to music submissions, played with large Lego sets while building the world. And drinking beer. When we needed to refine some of my submissions, Wes and Kyle and occasionally other players would visit my place where I'd edit the music to match lyrical content they'd come up with. And we drank beer. At the time, in the world of computer-based video games, we were doing stuff that was considered to be impossible. Hah. It was not a fast process. We couldn't share audio files online at all, everyone who played together or sang had to get together at "real life" locations. At one point, I had encouraged Wes and Kyle to join me to see "Polkacide" live, because they were insane. We went, we saw and heard, we got pummeled in the polka-crazed mosh pit (while chugging beer) and decided that they should definitely be included. They were included. While I did the majority of the synth/sampler-type music, I wasn't the only one who got on the project. A few other excellent composers and players got onto the project. I won't name any names because no matter how many I mention, some might be overlooked. Everyone involved did creative original musical work. There were times when some great and highly amusing musical pieces had to be dropped, having been deemed inappropriate for children of the age in the demographic the game was intended to serve. But some of it has gotten out anyway, and since the kids who grew up with the game are now adults, who cares? I will say that even though it didn't work out for any of us financially in the end, the creation process involved in that game was exceptionally detail-oriented along with being just lots of fun to have worked on. The whole group involved in that project (and others) later joined together to record bi-weekly comedy radio broadcasts as "Radio Shorts". That was aimed at an older demographic target audience, so it got considerably more "blue" at that time. It was an exceptional time with the merging of exceptional people who all just wanted to do their part and have fun. And that's what we did. Lorin

LEGO Racers took up a lot of my time as a kid. I would spend days just making cars to race. The tracks and worlds were very imaginative, with themes and characters from those themes intertwined and interacting with each other. LEGO Racers was my first racing game. There were times I'd just mess around looking for all the shortcuts. For my entry, I created a scene of Rocket Racers and some of the old racers going out on a race for old time's sake. Though, they probably should have checked to make sure there was no scheduled road maintenance first. In honor of the LEGO Racers 20th Anniversary, I'd also like to make available the decals for stickers I created to be used for Rocket Racer's car. I created them last year in anticipation of the release of the physical Rocket Racer minifigure from Minifigure Series 18. The designs are based on the details from the car costume accessory refitted for his iconic car from the games. I hope you enjoy them.
