Having been the director of music and sound effects on this project, I find this to be a very amusing critique of the game. Heck, it was what it was then. We had fun doing it. And yes, when I was a kid, I was an idiot.
Woah, how'd you get lost in the comments? I'm in a game design major, so you're a celebrity to me! This game is one of the first I ever played, and that music and those sounds are what stuck with me for years after. Well done! :)
I found the Creative Director of LEGO Island, Wes Jenkins, on Facebook. After telling him how much this game meant to me when I was younger (and now, really): "It was really quite touching to read that. You just made all the efforts that our Lego team did worth while...It was great fun to work with such a great bunch of people. We all lived on that Island... but it sure had it pitfalls as well. I think we all went through just about every emotion one could have at the time." Such a cool guy.
The overly sensitive controls actually aren't the game's fault... kind of. See, on a PC typical of that time that could only run the game at 10-20 FPS, the controls were actually just fine! The turning was at a reasonable speed. They just neglected to decouple the turning speed from the framerate - higher framerate, higher turning speed. They didn't notice until after the game shipped, when they were testing it on a higher-end PC that could run it at a higher framerate, and while they were able to quickly come up with a fix, the publisher made no effort to distribute it (hardly the worst thing Mindscape did in relation to this game). A guy made a custom launcher for the game that fixes this issue (among other things), and it plays just fine.
WASD was popularized by Quake, which came out in 96. And even then it was only because a certain amount of the fans found it to be better, but you still had to fiddle with the in-game command console to do it.
This isn't correct at all. Doom 1 had WASD controls built-in to it's first release back in 1993 The manual even suggests switching to WASD+mouse for better aiming after getting used to the game.
You turn so fast because the devs based the turning speed on the framerate. On computers that were absolute turbopiss, the turning speed was reasonable. But on a modern-day PC......
+Alicja Płoska Yeah, you'd think they'd be complaining about Brutalmoose saying the pizza's HEAT melts steel locks, instead of the fumes from the toppings! ...oh wait that makes even less sense
I still remember the time my friend had a completely red score cube, but he accidentally scratched the disc and it stopped working. It was like the end of the world.
Playing this game is honest to god like playing with Lego after both injecting twelve liters of LSD straight into your veins and watching a LOST marathon. Nothing makes sense, everyone is crazy, and every inch of the sparsely populated wasteland you find yourself in is made of colorful plastic blocks.
Ive personally have wondered if maybe the "remodeling the store" thing was a feature that got cut, but the dialog was still used. I recall there may of been a mention by the hospital guy that you could build a ambulance but you cant. There isn't really a 'Behind the scenes' or in depth in the development in this game so its untelling what may of been cut.
8 years later there is now a lot more behind the scenes and development about this game The post office, general store and bank were supposed to be places you could go inside but they were all cut.
+Jax Craft There should be a LEGO fan-movie about someone trying to compromise making a nice living for themselves and their families, and staying within their own ethical and moral boundaries, as Octan does what evil oil companies have been known to do, namely fuck up our earth and jack prices up.
In the bad ending, the Brickster succeeds, and the Island remains in shambles. I think the Info-maniac assures you that they can put it back together because they're all tight knit
+mlpLinky can't you people see?! jet fuel can't melt steel beams! the terrorists were using pizza power! 9/11 was a inside job! Lego is a terrorist organization!
Well, to be fair, he did directly insult them. Sure, he's not wrong, and I find the whole joke pretty funny, but usually, if you insult someone and make it into a clever joke, the person will probably focus more on the insult than how clever you are. (Especially at "child" ages, because emotions are strong and often take precedence over reason.) guess I didn't need to take so long to say that. Sorry about that.
@@mellow_mallow it kinda proves the point of them being stupid lol. But I guess if you think about it they aren't stupid they are ignorant. They haven't learned a while lot yet and like you said emotions and everything take over. Maybe that's what's wrong with my generation, they just never grew out of that phase and that's why they're so easy to trigger all the time. They want to base everything on emotions which in the real world can't happen. Sometimes you have to suck it up and be an adult you know?
Some things I'd like to point out. 1. Playing as different characters will give you different pizza delivery missions, each with unique dialogue. 2. It also will give people wandering the island different dialogue when they meet you. 3. You can also click to edit the islanders depending on what character you use. You can edit peoples' hair/hat type, body parts color (everything but the face and body I believe), and walk cycles, which is pretty funny. 4. After the info guy says Pepper should use the skateboard to catch the Brickster, you don't actually mount a skateboard, you go there on foot, and there are no ramps to jump over. 5. Info guy states at one point that he made the Brickster, why don't they just disassemble him instead of keeping him locked up in view of impressionable kids?
Oh god...I remember the entire layout of the island. Alongside those humongous adventure games, this is one of the few games that actually feels nostalgic for me.
I think this is the most nostalgic review you've done... I actually thought this game was more obscure because I didn't know anyone who had it, not even fellow Legomaniacs like myself, but I adored it when I was a little girl. Then again I adored just about anything Lego related and I still do. I actually have a tourettes tick where I have to have something relatively small and fiddly that had some sort of tactile feedback beyond what buttons could do (Hence why computers and such didn't satisfy it.) and I solved this by carrying around a Rubik's cube (I still do) when out and about but at home, creation toys like Lego and clay/play-doh (Which led into my love of making sculptures and stop motion animated films.) helped me calm the tick at least a tiny bit. I still enjoy Lego, particularly because of my daughter, Alessa. She loves them too, and she, my wife & I all love playing with them together. Alessa loves to make aliens, one day she even had the idea of making a planet for all her aliens but she was sad because she didn't have enough bricks, and she didn't want to "kill" any of her aliens to get more, and although I still had to convince her she couldn't feasibly make a planet the size of her room I still remember how excited she was when I came home from storage one day and hauled in some huge, heavy boxes and they were filled with all my Legos growing up and she & I worked on her planet. ^__^ Sorry, I know I'm going off topic and being loquacious. I just felt like sharing why Legos are so nostalgic for me in general. ^__^ Good video!
1legomaster No. I did not mean husband, I am a lesbian and hence I have a wife; her name is Moriko! Unfortunately we can't be legally married because we live in a totally ass-backwards state stuck in the 40s (Utah) but we are in what is considered a common law marriage since we've lived in the same house, gone out with each other, raised a child and been monogamous in nature for like 9 years. I am hoping that same sex marriage is allowed in Japan though, Moriko is moving us all back there this Summer so that we can get away from this stupid state and go back home, and because it seems really important to her that our second child, Chie, be born there since she's wholeblood I guess - she at least claims the donor was written down as being Japanese. Blah sorry I'm getting off topic. Point is: I didn't mean husband. ^_^
Every once in a blue moon this video series will get stuck in my head and I have to watch them all in one sitting It doesn't help that everytime I grab pepperoni at work I think of Pepper
Lego Creator was awesome too! I actually seemed to remember it being more well known/highly thought of than Lego Island, in fact I still remember that during the hype for the first Harry Potter movie they released a Harry Potter Lego Creator and the kids at my school seemed to talk about that just as much as the movie and ironically, more of them had it than the actual licensed game for the movie. :P I think my parents also liked Lego Creator simply because we weren't rich, Lego's were expensive, and they openly said that sometimes when I'd ask for lots of Lego sets it became a nightmare but it helped tide me over for awhile.
I actually spent years of my life at some point trying to get the pre-XP compatible version of Lego Creator working again... Oh man, games were serious business.
I love how some kids are just proving his point. I have a little cousin, and I simply hate him. He once deleted all my save files from my Gameboy! Little bastard.
The WASD movement is something that was done because you do something else with you right hand. with Chantelise, a game that doesn't use a mouse, mapping the keys to the letters are better, and since you use the letters to do things, whay would you ignore the other side of the keyboard?
3:52 I remember when I was a kid, I got so confused as to why I couldn't change the appearance of the store. Same with the bank. I remember being able to change I think one of the houses though. Been a long time since I've played this.
Same. The best case of scenario is that store was meant to be customizable in beta or demo version of the game (like any other buildings in Lego Island), but somehow customization for store has been removed in current game which means store now doesn't have anything to do with what the lady just said, and developers forgot to delete her whole carrier.
From what I understand, the sensitivity is due to modern computers trying to run the game at a higher frame rate then intended. Apparently the game was designed to run at only 15 fps, so faster then that screws up a few things (a few of the animations on the car racing mission are another example).
ThatBritishYoshi i agree i am offended by myself cause i am 0,01 % british ... so anyway still wanna discuss the parlament? tell me wen u redy so i can get tea and cookies
I cant even describe the feeling this game used to give me... just pure childlike wonder :') glad to have the memories. I hope one day we reach Warren Spectors idea of "the block". a small, self contained and self operating game enviornment where things change everytime you play because the AI operates on it's own. This game felt endless even though it was sooooo small looking back on it.
I'm pretty sure that criminal is voiced by one of the people from the Garfield cartoon. I'm sure it's one of Jon's relatives in the Christmas special VHS I had and I'm surprised I could even place the voice. Anyone else notice that?
I found this video randomly on the day you released it (I must have been nostalgic for lego island). You only had about 2000 subs then and look at you now :) (Btw, there is an alternative bad ending if the Brickster gets away)
That's correct, actually. Also the GPU. Most of these old games were coded for different graphics technology. Some of them for example, require DirectX 7 or 8 and/or instructions only available on older graphics cards and that are either no longer present in modern ones or are just emulated by the modern hardware (and we all know that emulation is usually not as good as the real thing). There's also the CPU technology to take into account. Some of these old games require 16-bit instructions just to run the installer. They are simply not compatible with modern 64-bit operating systems and processors, in most cases. Get King of the Road (Hard Truck 2) to run on a x64 Windows 7 machine, for example, is nearly impossible. I never managed it myself, at least. I also could never get Need for Speed II SE to even install on my PC because its installer runs on 16-bit. It installs fine on my old AthlonXP 2000 machine running x86 Windows XP, though. It's a real shame that these old games have so many issues to run or even install on modern hardware/software, most of the time. A lot of them are pure gold that deserves to be replayed! This video actually made me want to pick up my copy of LEGO Island and LEGO Racers and see if I can get them to work on my Windows 7 computer. I love these games!
Mike Dragon they work fine on windows 8.1 for me, but lego racers has one missing texture, and when I minazed (sorry for my grammar) lego island it won't let me open it back up. but the cool thing is, that you can mod lego racers :0
+TheProcrastinatingWolf Arrrow keys are ment for people who have the mouse on the left. Most people have it on the right, so it should be on option, not the default.
Can you believe this game is no over 20 years old? Also, you don't have to take a look at it, but someone is working on "LEGO Island Redux" which is an attempt to remake the original game.
He didn't even get the bad ending where the Brickster shrinks everything down and Pepper surveys the island on his skateboard to witness the devastation and despair everyone's enduring while there's a blood-red sky overhead. And then the Infomofo's like, "Whoops! The Brickster won! Ah, no harm done, we just put everything back together."
I've re-watched this video so many times from when I was young on into adulthood that I remember there was a graphical glitch when he says "wavelength" that looked like a rainbow. I thought he was doing a joke when I little but then he fixed it years later.
+leon thompson Seeing that he's as funny as JonTron, but without his -fucking abysmal work ethic, and possessing all the charm of PBG... I am only left feeling confused as to why Brutal Moose is not the most popular member of the three.
***** Yes. And yes, his work is quality stuff. But he needs to find some sort of balance and get his act together. Or he will continue to grow at a snails pace as he has for most of his career.
***** Actually the early PS3 models(I know the 60GB and first 80GB did) had the actual PS2 CPU and GPU chips on the motherboard. The rest did by software and eventually not be able to with the later models.

I tune out to your jams on my iTunes! Thx dude!
Thank you very much for helping shape my childhood memories. :)

Such a cool guy.
About the controls using arrow keys: Please don’t forget that by 1997 WASD was still a new concept and not that well established as it became later.
And that his computer is way too fast for it, that's why the controls are so sensitive.

It was supposed to have a fix that avoided it relying on frame rate.. didn't get to go out
I actually recently watched a video of a fan patch that fixes the control sensitivity.
They forgot one line of code to fix it , like if you add” x a variable “ it fixes this issue
@@Jah_Coby it didn't go out cause Mindscape didn't care cause they were getting ready to fire the team anyway.

This game was so rad and always will be. My disc shattered for it and I still have the shards to this day.
this is still my favourite video after so many years
my god...what is on those lego pizzas and how do i make one?
Grass mask! Wow it seems we think alike. 👍
Please don't put plastic in an oven...
Its a TRAP! THE BRICKSTER TRYING TO ESCAPE AGAIN
Island's soundtrack is wonderful.
that fucking choking scene always gets me.
same with the scene with a guy who was a shark in his hat.

No when the dog chokes a cat and dosent pet it or put it down it i shit my pants in that moment
SWAT Guy I almost pee'd my pants on the scene where a guy has a shark in his hat, at the beach.
That ending scarred me for life.
I can’t believe this video is ten years old I started binging brutalmoose when I was 17
I was 11 years old when this vid came out, damn does time just fly by.
man brutalmoose used to do more scares than he does now
From what I understand, the sensitivity is due to modern computers trying to run the game at a higher frame rate then intended. Apparently the game was designed to run at only 15 fps, so faster then that screws up a few things (a few of the animations on the car racing mission are another example).
THE NOSTALGIA
Being a 12 year old, these kids in the comment section... Holy Moly.
The joke
Xirce
Kreepin' on kidz
Thats what I call a bloody username mate gg I am sending you some tea and we can discuss the royal parlament while we drink
XxXPHaseKLanMLGDOGEXxX I'm offensive and I find that British.
ThatBritishYoshi i agree i am offended by myself cause i am 0,01 % british
...
so anyway still wanna discuss the parlament?
tell me wen u redy so i can get tea and cookies
XxXPHaseKLanMLGDOGEXxX u meeen m8 m9?
I cant even describe the feeling this game used to give me... just pure childlike wonder :') glad to have the memories. I hope one day we reach Warren Spectors idea of "the block". a small, self contained and self operating game enviornment where things change everytime you play because the AI operates on it's own. This game felt endless even though it was sooooo small looking back on it.
seriously THANX for reviewing this game, you gave closure to my childhood nightmare of plastic pizzas and this disturbing triple whistle sound.
I never actually found the story part but I remember this game like it was yesterday!
This was NINE years ago?! Wow
If only you knew
I'm pretty sure that criminal is voiced by one of the people from the Garfield cartoon. I'm sure it's one of Jon's relatives in the Christmas special VHS I had and I'm surprised I could even place the voice. Anyone else notice that?
hello
2:28 - Sign. Octan? OCTAN? The villans from the Lego Movie!? Why are they here!!!!!!
3:44 remodeling the store was a feature cut in development that the dev team forgot to replace the voice for.
This whole game looks like a compressed gif
Pizzas cant melt steel beams
I found this video randomly on the day you released it (I must have been nostalgic for lego island). You only had about 2000 subs then and look at you now :)
(Btw, there is an alternative bad ending if the Brickster gets away)
7:50 The guy on the right has the appropriate reaction to Sir Toppum Hat's proposal.
10 years later and it feels like a video that can still be released today
this video aged beautifully
"he tosses it like a fucking javelin thrower" hahahaha
I think the reason the animations aren't working to well is because of modern clock speeds, the guy on the shark is supposed to be much slower
That's correct, actually. Also the GPU. Most of these old games were coded for different graphics technology. Some of them for example, require DirectX 7 or 8 and/or instructions only available on older graphics cards and that are either no longer present in modern ones or are just emulated by the modern hardware (and we all know that emulation is usually not as good as the real thing). There's also the CPU technology to take into account. Some of these old games require 16-bit instructions just to run the installer. They are simply not compatible with modern 64-bit operating systems and processors, in most cases. Get King of the Road (Hard Truck 2) to run on a x64 Windows 7 machine, for example, is nearly impossible. I never managed it myself, at least. I also could never get Need for Speed II SE to even install on my PC because its installer runs on 16-bit. It installs fine on my old AthlonXP 2000 machine running x86 Windows XP, though.
It's a real shame that these old games have so many issues to run or even install on modern hardware/software, most of the time. A lot of them are pure gold that deserves to be replayed! This video actually made me want to pick up my copy of LEGO Island and LEGO Racers and see if I can get them to work on my Windows 7 computer. I love these games!
Mike Dragon they work fine on windows 8.1 for me, but lego racers has one missing texture, and when I minazed (sorry for my grammar) lego island it won't let me open it back up. but the cool thing is, that you can mod lego racers :0
2:51 that sounded like ellis from l4d
I much prefer the Infomaniac's voice and personality in this game than the sequels. He is a lot of fun and legitimately funny in this.
Freedi Fish was something buried so deep into the creases of my memory that mentioning it made me tear up a little
Guy choking on a shark? Sounds like a runescape problem.
I am a kid and I think that arrow-key controlled games are the spawn of hell.
except for a select few.
TheProcrastinatingWolf Agreed.
Getamped did it right! :3
+TheProcrastinatingWolf Arrrow keys are ment for people who have the mouse on the left. Most people have it on the right, so it should be on option, not the default.
0:49 XD
2:31 to 3:09 perfect commentary XD
3:59 XD
Can you believe this game is no over 20 years old? Also, you don't have to take a look at it, but someone is working on "LEGO Island Redux" which is an attempt to remake the original game.
He didn't even get the bad ending where the Brickster shrinks everything down and Pepper surveys the island on his skateboard to witness the devastation and despair everyone's enduring while there's a blood-red sky overhead. And then the Infomofo's like, "Whoops! The Brickster won! Ah, no harm done, we just put everything back together."
Imaging playing this game on shrooms
This game *is* shrooms.
Sasaeng Master more like a bad lsd trip
9:47 OK WHO PUT LCD IN MY JUICE!?!? >:(
WIERD I got this game at a grocery store in 2006
Lego island teaches you that everyone's stupid. Actually, the best edutainment game ever.
Lego games have come a long way, baby.
Why in the fuck did I love the song at the end... (Not the outro)
It has its charm to it.
Wavesong Gaming MYEMYAH MUMU
Wavesong Gaming you are the ... worse chilldhoo ever
Blake Blast it was so catchy XD
Pizza can't melt mom's spaghetti
That last part though
This video is still by far my favorite vaporwave album
I've re-watched this video so many times from when I was young on into adulthood that I remember there was a graphical glitch when he says "wavelength" that looked like a rainbow. I thought he was doing a joke when I little but then he fixed it years later.
2:00 someone explain this part
We don't talk about Uncle Sam and the demon kids adventure Island for Macintosh...
Pretty weird but does anyone else get: Caddicarus, Space Hamster and Brutalmoose confused?
+leon thompson Nope.
I get space hamster and brutal moose confused, but not caddicarus
+leon thompson Seeing that he's as funny as JonTron, but without his -fucking abysmal work ethic, and possessing all the charm of PBG... I am only left feeling confused as to why Brutal Moose is not the most popular member of the three.
planescaped Cause Moose is more reserved and less outspoken than both of them.
*****
Yes. And yes, his work is quality stuff. But he needs to find some sort of balance and get his act together. Or he will continue to grow at a snails pace as he has for most of his career.
Pizza can’t melt steel beams
Alright, he went from LEGO Island, to a Banquet Beef Competition. Makes sense
Yeah that's odd
I always got the bad ending as a kid. After seeing this I'm glad I was never able to beat it.
couldve done without all the random creepy jokes. otherwise, good video
Hey its b break guy!
Any1! Watching when olympics are happening
Me
I love mario ans sonic olympics
but the ps4 can go waaaaayyyyy back to the ps1
Maybe the quality of the games deteriorate as you go back? I don't know, I don't own a PS4
No it actually works and looks better watch caddicarus
It's a PS3. PS3 can play PS1 games, but can't run PS2 games, unless it is a special model which has a PS2 emulator.
*****
Actually the early PS3 models(I know the 60GB and first 80GB did) had the actual PS2 CPU and GPU chips on the motherboard. The rest did by software and eventually not be able to with the later models.
me too
This brings back memories, I remember the songs on the juke box next to the pizzeria and I remember going into the “hidden” cave.
This video was so ahead of its time
