#13I liked this game when I was a kid but I remember being massively disappointed that there wasn't more building.
My two favorite games for some time were Lego Island and Lego Loco.
Lego Loco is a city builder and railroad builder game. Something like a more basic SimCity and Railroad Tycoon crossover maybe. I really liked Lego Loco because you can build a whole city out of Lego to your own liking.
So I had Lego building in Lego Loco and I had Lego Island with all the fun stories and things you could do there, like chasing Pepper the criminal with a helicopter and using donuts and pizzas to help the police on ground and the skateboarder.

#14The tooling and infrastructure in this project are pretty interesting as these things go. It's always cool to see how each decompilation project springs up with different ideas and goals - this one seems very focused on 1:1 accuracy, with a side-project for compatibility / cross-platform reimplementation: * https://github.com/isledecomp/reccmp is a lint tool which compares compiled function reimplementations with the…
I’m gonna have to get Manic Miners, lots of fond memories playing Rock Raiders with my friends

Wow, I've seen anyone mention Lego Loco before! That was a great game. I was horrible at it, but the art style and atmosphere was great.

This was a favorite of mine as a kid as well - I remember revisiting it after seeing a YouTube video of someone doing a technical breakdown. I realized that this game had maybe less than half an hour of content! I remember losing hours to this game.

I loved Lego Loco. You could even set the game as a screensaver, and it would basically play whatever map you were on whenever your screensaver turned on!
I kind of miss screensavers actually

#18Thank you to everyone who worked on this. One of my favorite games growing up, I’m glad to know it’ll be around to show my kid.

Brickster's the criminal, Pepper chased him with a rebuilt police helicoptor lobbing pizzas and donuts to help Nick and Laura on the ground catch Brickster.
Also, second you on LEGO Loco. Of the original trilogy (Creator, Loco, and Chess), Loco by far was the most fun. Kudos to the Chess King though, saying the Knights are BMX bikeriders still hasn't been surpassed.

What we didn’t have in content we made up in replayability! So many “Great games” from that era had a sandbox mode or other replayability.
