Zed Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) I was really curious about the number of people on LEGO Island in the GBA Port of LI2, so I ripped the sprites and grouped characters together. Rhoda Hogg, Technician Bob, the injured guy, and vehicle drivers were also counted. UPPER SECTION (34): MIDDLE SECTION (50): LOWER SECTION (38): MISCELLANEOUS (10): Boney Hawks/Gnarly Bones is also mentioned, but never seen ingame. With him included, the estimated total is 133. It interests me how IXS and this port of LI2 depicted LEGO Island more as a small town.

Ostoya Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Ohh the nostalgia. Delicious nostalgia, at least for me. The GBA layout of Lego Island is still my favorite one. The 2D graphics of the system certainly benefitted it - sure, GTA III came out the same year so it'd be technically possible in 3D but the PC version of LI2 was nowhere near that level.

lol username Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I spy a Bob Longtree-esque character and several of the minifigures based on developers. Also that early DJ (Ablebody) design again, of course (same as his trading card). Shame the fire station and firefighters were in any of the other games (aside from the random firetruck in the racetrack in LI1). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longtree guy also has a house in a park-type area and was obsessed with the color green, IIRC. I remember the game had some good jokes about how the firefighters never do anything because there are never any fires on the island. Oh yeah, isn't the miscellaneous bandage guy Lucky Larry? Like, he had a little cameo before his proper introduction in IXS. lol username 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a long (and fun) description of the patient's accident, Pepper refers to him as "Lucky." So there you go! Zed and lol username 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 Those character card renders just reminded me of a strange texture I ripped from IXS years ago - I have no idea where it came from. 18 hours ago, Terrev said: I spy a Bob Longtree-esque character and several of the minifigures based on developers.

There's a grumpy guy who looks like Mr. Cunningham; he lives next to the multiplayer clubhouse across the street from Pepper's. I also noticed a girl who perfectly resembles this character, a guy who looks like Jimmy in IXS, and another girl who looks similar to a background character in the IXS movie. 6 hours ago, Pereki said: This was bothering me so I dug up my old let's play to check.

I originally thought that Pepper sarcastically called the patient "Lucky" because they couldn't go to Castle Island. emily 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
