Preserving Lego Island 1997

[Danunblock]

Hi.

 

So... I'm making this message just to say that, the developer for the original Lego Island game from 1997, Mindscape, has gone through a history.

 

In 2001, Jean-Pierre Nordman acquired Mindscape from their previous owner, The Learning Company, and moved it's headquarters from the USA to Boulogne-Billancourt in France.

 

Jean was the last owner of Mindscape and Mindscape closed down in 2011.

 

If we have the ability to contact Jean-Pierre Nordman, we could ask him where are the Mindscape's archives now.

 

The purpose of all that is to preserve more of the game, along with it's source code, so that we can make ports of the Lego Island game for any future operating system.

 

Let's just make this dream come true....
