Hmmm,  I can honestly say that the very first copies received in-store did not
include any kind of figure.  Is it possible that the bagged Infomaniac figure
was a promotional item that could have been handed out to buyers and then only
in specific stores?  The fact that he's bagged rather than boxed leads me to
believe that it was a limited-time promotion and was not actually included
in-box.  Has anyone bought the game and found this figure included in the
package?

There was never a minifig included with the Lego Island game.  I was

Loco, Lego Chess, and presumably, Rock Raiders.  Note that Lego Racing also
does not include any kind of limited edition minifig.

Yes, there was a minifig in Lego Island.  It was the Infomaniac.  You can

(...) Yes -- It was included in the box I bought. There was a sticker on the box which said "Minifig inside!", or something to that effect. (25 years ago, 13-Oct-99, to lugnet.games.lego.island, lugnet.general)
