(...) And let me say, if you don't normally play the games on LEGO.com, this is the one to make you start. I have cursed Tomas, et. al for creating this HIGHLY addicting game more than once! Much fun for kids of ALL ages. "Hi, my name is Jake, and I (...) (23 years ago, 11-Aug-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) I gotta' agree with Jake here, Tomas...HOW DARE YOU! You took up a WHOLE lot of my afternoon today when I stumbled across Junkbot. And I only got to the fourth building...Oh well, back to the trash-eatin'! Matt "Junkbot Addict #2" Gerber (23 years ago, 11-Aug-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

Well, it's been 5 hours since I last posted ...I finally completed all of the Junkbot levels, with a score of 1093. Now, shouldn't I be ranked #23 on the Hall of Fame? 'Cause I'm not. Did I miss something in the way of rules? I assumed this game was (...) (23 years ago, 11-Aug-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

Tomas As the new Lego Mindstorms site has launched, when can we expect to see the old content "converted" to the new content? I have been looking for the scout SDK and it is to be found nowhere. I know the SDK is rather old, but many of the members (...) (23 years ago, 11-Aug-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) Junkbot is a lot of fun! Nik and I spent several enjoyable hours. There are a number of good puzzles in it. It doesn't seem to be saving stats from one session to the next, though, is that WAD? (23 years ago, 12-Aug-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) Larry, I got word from Tomas a little while ago. The build of the game that made it to the site IS NOT saving. The beta builds did...hence the Hall of Fame scores. They will be fixing it next week. I played the game straight through late last (...) (23 years ago, 12-Aug-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

Instead of clearing a path a brick or two at a time, grab a whole pile, let Junkbot walk "through" them and put them back basically right were they were. For example, you should be able to (...)

Can someone verify this for me. If you try it out, I suggest you pick an easy level to try it on.

I wasn't about to try to repeat it on purpose - it definately isn't regular behavior though or it would happen to me a whole lot more than just the once. (...)
