(...) Yes, there was a minifig in Lego Island. It was the Infomaniac. You can see a picture at (URL). Steve (25 years ago, 8-Oct-99, to lugnet.games.lego.island, lugnet.general)

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 (...)

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)
