(...) You just had too high of expectations. Personally, I liked running over minifigs with my virtual motorcycle and watching them fall to bits and come together again. I thought the opening movie was very cool too. (25 years ago, 28-Oct-99, to lugnet.games.lego.island, lugnet.general)

Sorry for another late response. Awhile back I started scanning old Mania magazines, and learned something about this Lego Island game. Lego Island was the first Lego video game. When it was first released, it included a comic, which I thought was (...) (25 years ago, 28-Oct-99, to lugnet.games.lego.island, lugnet.general)

(...) When I first installed LEGO Chess, the movement of the cursor and response to key presses was so slow that the game was unplayable. The purchase of an expensive 3D video card enabled the game to run correctly. Grahame Reid (25 years ago, 16-Oct-99, to lugnet.games.lego.chess)
