| | | | | (...) 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)

|
| | | | | | 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)

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 (...)
