I had no intention of ever buying this game but for ten bucks I decided I could give it away and not feel like I wasted much while making some kids day. But it was alot cooler than I thought.

(...) Nope. The 'first edition' of LEGO Island included both the limited-edition InfoManiac minifig, and a manual/comic book. I'm not sure if that's the same comic as you mentioned. But the minifig was definitely in the first wave of the software. (...) (26 years ago, 28-Oct-99, to lugnet.games.lego.island, lugnet.general)

(...) 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. (26 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 (...) (26 years ago, 28-Oct-99, to lugnet.games.lego.island, lugnet.general)
