From what I've found, it's just the standard game with a launcher added on that advertises Cheez Mania snacks. No changes to the game itself.

Last I looked LEGO Island (and the rest of the classic titles) aren't in print anymore, but if you can I'd definitely suggest getting a physical copy - a quick ebay search brings up (for the UK at least) quite a few copies and nearly all of them are under a tenner, but if you've got a few charity shops nearby it may be worth checking there too on the offchance someone's donated a copy. Some folks are also properly into just collecting the early 90s big box versions, but if you just wanna play the game then any of the newer releases will do - they all have the same game on the disc after all, it's just the packaging that's different (I still swear by my RE:FLEX copy from my childhood!). Now if you do decide to go the download route instead, we can't help you there as per the forum rules but I'm sure a bit of browsing through google should help you there.

It just depends on how "legal" you want it to be. Not that people would really care if you actually owned it.

I would just like to state that I've made great progress on checkpoints. We are finally able to make 100% custom checkpoints.

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
