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.

(...) I'm not sure this is correct. I know I purchased the game when it first came out, long before they had any other games, and it included a minifig. (25 years ago, 28-Oct-99, to lugnet.games.lego.island, lugnet.general)

(...) Matt, I think your right on the order of things, I bought LEGO Island soon after it first came out and it had the mail-in offer in it.

(...) Bought it the day it was released to stores - had a minifig. Returned it 2 hours later because it sucked, along with the minifig. (25 years ago, 28-Oct-99, to lugnet.games.lego.island, lugnet.general)

(...) Dunno about you but if I had gotten a minifig that sucked I would have kept it... <GD&R> (25 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. (25 years ago, 28-Oct-99, to lugnet.games.lego.island, lugnet.general)

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