The thing about Lego island is that it encapsulates the attitude of the time. It's really a product of that manic over the top early 90's / late 80's sense of humor that was in other media.
The bad ending was actually shortened and less obnoxious in the final game. Still managed to be traumatizing though, and what the Infomaniac said to the player afterwards never made up for it. I always quit out of the game with the escape key and try again later, whenever I was about to lose.
This video is criminally underviewed, the production value alone is amazing and I love the amount of info being delivered. I only ever had Lego Island so learning about all these other Lego games is really cool. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much! What a lovely comment. I’m glad I was able to give you a deep dive and intro into the other Lego games of that era :) Please do share the video around as much as you can! I feel like that’s the only way it will spread at this point 😅
I absolutely loved this video! It's clear that you put a lot of effort into writing, editing and 3D modeling. It's nothing short of stunning! I'm quite familiar with most of these games but I still learned something new. Excellent work! 👏
omg the lego island 2 super stationmaster scene makes so much more sense after seeing lego loco. i always thought that was so random - even as a 7 year old
I’d love to see a follow-up to this video including some of the 2000s games, like Legoland and Drome Racers This was such a fun look at the old games, and left me wanting more!
There was a SEGA Pico Lego game in 1995 that was fairly basic and it’s own little thing, but I was more wanting to focus on the actual movement inside of Lego to fully pursue video games, with that era starting with Lego Island :)
@@UnderTheMoons I guess I'm mostly surprised that it's so old in their catalogue more than the fact that it was the first or not but thanks for the history and additional information about it all. It's a pretty interesting genre and concept to start with as one of your first games.
This deserves so much more viewership. An incredible analysis of a bygone era of Lego that so many of us fondly remember, even if some of it has aged a little bit rough. Rock Raiders and Lego Racers were always my favorites, though Lego Island had its charm too, as a zany adventure that leaned hard into an utterly massive amount of audio for a game of its era.
Not to be a stickler, but the bad ending video you showed for Lego island was actually cut from the final game and changed for a much shorter, lighter in tone ending that’s more wacky than depressing, cause they were worried about upsetting kids
Bro sorry it's a year later but the brickster gave me nightmares for years that I still remember part of even more than two decades later. A big factor in that was the bad ending that I received constantly at first. The original yes was worst now that I see it, but still the final was terrifying as a kid.
God this brought back a lot of memories, now thinking about it Lego Island must of been the first PC game I ever played, had all the other ones but Racer, favourite had to be Rock Raiders (PS1) man I loved that game
Warp to now and Manic Miners just got it’s 1.0 release that includes multiple campaigns and all the core features. The only thing missing is mod support that’s coming sometime down the road. Hopefully the guy also adds cut content to better flesh out the game and allow map makers to create cool levels. Great video. It was definitely interesting.
This video is amazing and it was worth the time you have spent to it! I really like it and watch it over and over when I wanna find out some details of the Lego games!
I found myself pausing and rewinding at so many instances throughout this video, just to appreciate the 3D animations and special effects! SO GOOD! Even from the very beginning with the recreated Lego logo animation I knew this was gonna be a great video. Admirable and entertaining throughout, mister moons!
Aww bless you :) thank you very much. Make sure to check out the breakdown of the effects. I had too much fun making them all. Always do! Feel free to share the video anywhere you think an audience will be :)
@@UnderTheMoons I actually stumbled upon that one shortly after I watched this, and it went right onto my Watch Later queue! The fun you had shines through, for sure.
5:22 This is uncut version and was only in BETA versions, in Final versions it was cut to some seconds to not traumatize and scare children Final version Bad Ending: ruclips.net/video/1Em7eZ-KX8Q/видео.html
Watching this and thinking back, Lego clearly had a bad habit of releasing games with broken or missing features, sometimes still advertised in the booklet or opening video. I am bothered to this day by the 5 new locations they said would appear on the map in Lego Island when I captured the Brickster.
The editing and presentation in this video is absolutely impeccable, cannot wait to see the algorithm finally give you the attention you deserve man, it may take a long time but it does eventually reward consistency from what I can gauge. Keep it up bro, absolutely stellar work 👍
Loved lego island 2 and lego rock raiders, so manny hours of fun. Remember playing g-mod on a TTT server with a lego island 2 map. The pizzeria had a button you could press to play the lego island2 song. Everyone was just chilling around there not fighting. Anyone that tried to turn it off got killed 😂
Great video, the editing and humour are great! This video has nowhere near as many views as it deserves. This is such an interesting period of LEGO for me because of the range of different things they tried, throwing everything at the wall to not be bankrupt and stay relevant. I wish we could return to this era of such a variety of games, instead of the TT usual.
man lego island and lego racers was so nostalgic for me. Also lego soccer was so fun too, there were a few other lego games that werent covered here that I had discs for way back. Shame they dont make games like that anymore.
I played a lot of these classic Lego games as a kid. They were popular among my group of friends. An irl friend thought it was odd that Pepper Roni was not in Lego Star Wars II.
That perfectly-recreated intro is worth a sub by itself. Also mechanically, Lego Racers is actually more of Diddy Kong Racing rather than Mario Kart specifically, since both games have upgradeable powerups (with DKR you have to run into multiple balloons of the same color, rather than "upgrade balloons")...
Commenting to say that the editing, paceing , mood and i love seeing people use Blender to add to the production value in simple ways that you dont see everywhere. Hope you keep making video and hope they wont be as criminally underwatched as this one is. Also sorry to be that guy and im not sure if you count it but i think you missed the Legoland theme park game. Cheers
Aww bless you! Thank you so much :) I’ve come to terms with low views Vs time I put into my video. But I appreciate the sentiment :) And Legoland was 2000, this was just focusing on 90’s Lego games. I would like to make a follow up vid covering Legoland, Stunt Rally, Alpha Team and the cancelled first bionicle game. But that will come some time in the future :)
Lego Island was one of the three first games I got for PC back in 1997. Over the following years I got Loco and Rock Raiders, those three were the Holy Trinity that I would go back to play again and again. Rock Raiders has to be my favorite and I couldn't beat the 2 second to last missions until I turned 16 and decided that I had to beat it, so I looked it up and realized that you had to kinda exploit some feature to be able to pass.
Got lego loco for christmas, the only lego game I've played and I loved it in all its simplicity. Much fun was had in that post office making similar suggestive imagery x) Good to see some appreciation for the foodhall theme! Would love to hear the full version, but I haven't been able to find it.
I think it's also fun to think that we already had a sort of "lego multiverse" with these early games. not only with the classic characters from real sets like Johnny Thunder and friends appearing all over the games (even in recent entries such as the LEGO Movie game) but also with things like... the Super Station Master from LEGO Loco being a part of LEGO Island 2, and The Brickster being visible in that newspaper in the LEGO Racers 2 cutscene. Now, in 2024 (and the past few years too) LEGO is even bringing some of the classic game characters back into video games - Pepper Roni had been previously spotted in an educational Unity thing, and now appears in LEGO Fortnite (yep) while Rocket Racer made his first reappearance in years, and first _actual_ physical appearance as a real LEGO City minifigure also making an appearance in the newer racing game LEGO 2KDrive (it's no Racers, but it's still better than whatever Drone Racers was I suppose). So indeed the future looks a bit brighter with LEGO leaning back into more "original" ideas, bringing back "cult classic" characters, while still maintaining the now-also-classic "licensed game" formula, which honestly _even that_ got a pretty satisfying revamp with the last Star Wars one... it feels new again. Great video by the way with excellent 3D! Even for simple things like the Toy Story 2 scene... didn't have to go hard on it, but you did anyways.
The in-game engine introduction of the N64 LEGO Racers was copied from the demo release of the PC version, which also used in-game renders instead of FMVs. That's probably why it was the only LEGO game on Nintendo 64, as LEGO games at the time relied heavily on FMVs, and LEGO Racers was the only one that could take the easy way out in that regard.
also the loco office talking sound effect sounds just like the talking sound effect from the tonka game where you could build a road through a desert & build a skyscraper & something in the snow or mountains or something
Also, the same actor has been voicing Andy in each of his appearances throughout Pixar movies. EDIT: There is a 24-year difference between the first and last appearance of Andy.
Did you know that in 1991 developer FarLight created a Lego Game and that Lego never used it? From 1991 to 1992, developer FairLight worked on a Commodore 64 platformer titled Linking Leroy Visits LEGOLAND, expecting the LEGO Group to approve it. If published, it would have been the first LEGO video game. Nonetheless, the LEGO Group never in any way endorsed the game or approved of the usage of the name and logo, and the project was ultimately cancelled
I did not! Never came across that in my research! But that’s amazing. Wonder if they just read the title and started having doubts 😂. Cool fact tho! Thanks for letting me know!
So many fond memories of games like Lego Island 2, Lego Loco, Lego Rock Raiders, Lego Racers 1 and 2, Lego Chess, the Legoland game I think it's a product of its age + me being a simple child with endless time But it was fenomenal, finding all cutscenes in Chess, doing as many tricks as possible in Lego Island 2, being haunted by its fishing mini game in my nightmares, racing my friends in Lego Racers... all in our favourite Lego theme I hope some day games like these can come back... but I doubt it haha
I played Racers, Rock Raiders, and Drome compulsively. I loved those games. I pulled so many crazy stunts in lego racers... I don't think they should have been possible. 😂
I loved playing Lego Racers, Chess and Creator Harry Potter when I was a kid. I really wanted Lego Racers 2 but I never got it alas :( One Lego game you didn't mention but was probably my favourite was Stunt Rally - it was similar to Racers but more focused on 'stunts' and power-ups, and by winning races you could gain better cars and pieces that you could put into your own tracks
Ooo my friend, these were the Lego games of the 90’s we’ve got a few more to cover in the follow up of this for Lego Games of the Early 2000’s ;) although what year I get round to finishing that is unknown to me 😅
omfg i forgot about lego loco. i had all the other lego games from creator to island to racers, but we could never find loci anywhere & this was before we even had internet - and even if we did, we didn’t know of any websites where we could order the game online
loved lego island, couldnt figure out how to beat the brickster back in the day :D lego loco was also great, just like you I couldnt sent an post card to a friend
25:25 this is really funny to me because I AM 23 and I’ve played both Lego Island 1 (also 2) and Lego Chess, but never Lego Racer. I’m pretty sure both were borrowed from a family friend with a kid 5-6 years older than me though. I they also straight up gave me my copy of Zoo Tycoon 2. Having a brother 6-7 years older than myself gives me some rather unusual nostalgic games for someone my age. The basement had the Windows 98 and I played the games my parents had already bought for my brother when he was small. 🤷♀️
Interesting video. I like how you went over the different game’s strengths and weaknesses. Regardless of their quality it is nice to see that there was variety with Lego games at one point. Let’s hope that with Travelers Tales losing their exclusivity license that games with more variety will appear. Based on way people talked about Lego Island and the few clips I saw I had imagined it being like Simpsons Hit and Run where it’s a GTA clone that takes full advantage of the source material (in this case the creativity of Legos instead of the Simpsons when it was still good). Looks like I was wrong about that (maybe the newer ones are like that, I haven’t done any actual research into this game). That’s really funny how all those sound effects are so awful. I’d get really annoyed after a while. The bad ending had me floored. I can imagine the studio sounded like that when they fired everyone (I’d be furious if that happened to me seeing this game I slaved over for became a massive success and didn’t get any of the money). The hospital theme is so much better than it has any right to be. Wow! It would be nice to see a modern reimagining of the city builders. Too bad that probably won’t happen. There’s so much potential with that. I like how the racing games let you customize your car. It would be cool if they were to release a racing game where in addition to power ups/items you could add all sorts of crazy weapons to your car and do damage to the other racers. There was this one Lego racing theme that had a set up like that where all the cars had crazy designs/weapons. I’m glad that Baraklava is making Manic Miners. I hope that it will reach a content complete state soon. There’s still a bunch of features that need to be added. As well as mod support and optimization. Let’s hope he also adds the cut content and maybe even the few good things from the PlayStation versions. It would definitely be cool if he made a spiritual sequel/reimagining to Rock Raiders. Luckily the coding base would already be there and he’d just need to add new mechanics/assets. This one guy Zaric Zhakaron (one of my favorite RUclipsrs) was talking about fan games/mods saying that if you’re going to make one you should use that as a testing bed to see what does and doesn’t work, and use the experience gained from that to make your own thing. That way you’d be able to monetize it and would already have a built in audience. Great video. I noticed that one early 2000s With a Spirit song in the background. It’s a surreal experience hearing those things from when I was a kid. I remember it being used in different RUclips compilations back in the day.
Lego islands is far better than he was giving it credit for. But honestly, it was Lego Island 2 that was really amazing. The first 1 was good for the time. There wasn't much like it at the time
I love when LEGO used to make their own game ... Having LEGO ISLAND , CHESS , CREATOR and RACE ...nices games ...and now LEGO try to back on the path with new games
Awesome video! Love the animations in between the sections. Great design at 21:55 using the hats for champions. Also at 25:53, where did you learn that? I'm curious. 😋
Thanks! :) Gonna have to dive into the deets for that. But I think it was info in the description of the video on RUclips? The account was sourcing a bunch of old video stuff related to Lego games of the 90’s
@@UnderTheMoons You're very welcome! I was referring to the references to the racing sequels post-90's (29:00) but since it is not a direct sequel to the "Racers" series, it probably makes more sense to separate it into a different category. I am looking forward to the 2000's video! Thanks for the quick reply!
10:14 Is that seriously the soundtrack from Trinity & Beyond? 20:47 I'm playing Forza Horizon 5 when you brought out that Senna and I'm starting to sorely miss LEGO Valley from 4...
7:10 my stepdad actually had huge nostalgia for this game because its the first game he ever played at the ripe age of 8 in second grade and because of this games genre hes huge into strategy games like age of empires which is also a nostalgia crown jewel of his
I wish they remade Lego Island, but with the ability to build anything rather than the default models. Imagine the one-of-a-kind buildings you could construct. Or wacky Mad Max style vehicles
The thing about Lego island is that it encapsulates the attitude of the time. It's really a product of that manic over the top early 90's / late 80's sense of humor that was in other media.
In my opinion its one of the best lego games of All time. ..
Imagining knees? You're probably right.
The cinematic opening of Lego Racers was such a blast to watch. Never skipped watching it on our family pc with W2000nt os😂
Same, and Lego RR as well. That intro was amazing and definitely shaped my taste in media.
Lego Loco was my childhood I remember playing that game over and over to build all sorts of diffrent cities
ah those were the times
Using a song from 009 Sound System with the Movie Maker outro at 17:55 shows how much attention to detail you have. Just brilliant!
The bad ending was actually shortened and less obnoxious in the final game. Still managed to be traumatizing though, and what the Infomaniac said to the player afterwards never made up for it. I always quit out of the game with the escape key and try again later, whenever I was about to lose.
This video is criminally underviewed, the production value alone is amazing and I love the amount of info being delivered. I only ever had Lego Island so learning about all these other Lego games is really cool. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much! What a lovely comment. I’m glad I was able to give you a deep dive and intro into the other Lego games of that era :)
Please do share the video around as much as you can! I feel like that’s the only way it will spread at this point 😅
I absolutely loved this video! It's clear that you put a lot of effort into writing, editing and 3D modeling. It's nothing short of stunning! I'm quite familiar with most of these games but I still learned something new. Excellent work! 👏
Thank you very much 😊really appreciate it.
Great video! Top notch editing!
Thanks Flandrew! :) I had too much fun with this one 😅
Did someone say collaboration between Under the moon & Flandrew about the Lego Harry Potter games?
Thanks for the suggestion. I like this video
I'm surprised that Lego Island failure cutscene didn't traumatise an entire generation lmao
It terrified me as a kid
They cut it way down for the final version of the game and it still traumatized 4 year old me
Lego Island and Lego Island 2 captured my imagination as a kid. Very immersive.
omg the lego island 2 super stationmaster scene makes so much more sense after seeing lego loco. i always thought that was so random - even as a 7 year old
I’d love to see a follow-up to this video including some of the 2000s games, like Legoland and Drome Racers
This was such a fun look at the old games, and left me wanting more!
Lego Island 1 was the first Lego game? That's absolutely wild to think about.
There was a SEGA Pico Lego game in 1995 that was fairly basic and it’s own little thing, but I was more wanting to focus on the actual movement inside of Lego to fully pursue video games, with that era starting with Lego Island :)

One Lego game you didn't mention but was probably my favourite was Stunt Rally - it was similar to Racers but more focused on 'stunts' and power-ups, and by winning races you could gain better cars and pieces that you could put into your own tracks
Ooo my friend, these were the Lego games of the 90’s we’ve got a few more to cover in the follow up of this for Lego Games of the Early 2000’s ;) although what year I get round to finishing that is unknown to me 😅
omfg i forgot about lego loco. i had all the other lego games from creator to island to racers, but we could never find loci anywhere & this was before we even had internet - and even if we did, we didn’t know of any websites where we could order the game online
loved lego island, couldnt figure out how to beat the brickster back in the day :D
lego loco was also great, just like you I couldnt sent an post card to a friend
Amazing video. That video games were my childhood 🙂
This was a awsome trip down memory lane and a awsome video
25:25 this is really funny to me because I AM 23 and I’ve played both Lego Island 1 (also 2) and Lego Chess, but never Lego Racer. I’m pretty sure both were borrowed from a family friend with a kid 5-6 years older than me though. I they also straight up gave me my copy of Zoo Tycoon 2.
Having a brother 6-7 years older than myself gives me some rather unusual nostalgic games for someone my age. The basement had the Windows 98 and I played the games my parents had already bought for my brother when he was small. 🤷♀️
Ahhh so I got the age right but flipped the games 😂
Wow, at first I was like oh this is a fun video, then the 3d animations started. You deserve 2.42 million subs not 2.42K subs!
I adored Lego Island
Ahhhh fuck that intro is awesome, brings back lots of memories
A modern remaster would be insane
Lego island shows that it can be good meme material
Interesting video. I like how you went over the different game’s strengths and weaknesses. Regardless of their quality it is nice to see that there was variety with Lego games at one point. Let’s hope that with Travelers Tales losing their exclusivity license that games with more variety will appear.
Based on way people talked about Lego Island and the few clips I saw I had imagined it being like Simpsons Hit and Run where it’s a GTA clone that takes full advantage of the source material (in this case the creativity of Legos instead of the Simpsons when it was still good). Looks like I was wrong about that (maybe the newer ones are like that, I haven’t done any actual research into this game). That’s really funny how all those sound effects are so awful. I’d get really annoyed after a while. The bad ending had me floored. I can imagine the studio sounded like that when they fired everyone (I’d be furious if that happened to me seeing this game I slaved over for became a massive success and didn’t get any of the money). The hospital theme is so much better than it has any right to be. Wow!
It would be nice to see a modern reimagining of the city builders. Too bad that probably won’t happen. There’s so much potential with that.
I like how the racing games let you customize your car. It would be cool if they were to release a racing game where in addition to power ups/items you could add all sorts of crazy weapons to your car and do damage to the other racers. There was this one Lego racing theme that had a set up like that where all the cars had crazy designs/weapons.
I’m glad that Baraklava is making Manic Miners. I hope that it will reach a content complete state soon. There’s still a bunch of features that need to be added. As well as mod support and optimization. Let’s hope he also adds the cut content and maybe even the few good things from the PlayStation versions. It would definitely be cool if he made a spiritual sequel/reimagining to Rock Raiders. Luckily the coding base would already be there and he’d just need to add new mechanics/assets. This one guy Zaric Zhakaron (one of my favorite RUclipsrs) was talking about fan games/mods saying that if you’re going to make one you should use that as a testing bed to see what does and doesn’t work, and use the experience gained from that to make your own thing. That way you’d be able to monetize it and would already have a built in audience.
Great video. I noticed that one early 2000s With a Spirit song in the background. It’s a surreal experience hearing those things from when I was a kid. I remember it being used in different RUclips compilations back in the day.
Lego islands is far better than he was giving it credit for.
But honestly, it was Lego Island 2 that was really amazing. The first 1 was good for the time. There wasn't much like it at the time
24:38 You can powerslide for parts like these
(And the game is called Lego Racers btw)
I'm midway theough and already love what youve put into this. Amazing work!
aww thank you :) ❤
The Lego Island soundtrack goes soooooo hard
How did you create your intro? That was really awesome! 🎉
Fantastic video. You are a real American wizard with the funny editing
Yay! It has been done and finished. Glad you gave Lego Friends the time it needed to shine!
I haven’t actually checked when I originally wrote the scripts and frankly I’m scared to look.
I just unlocked a dormant part of my brain seeing that Lego loco trailer
This is really well done, but I wish you talked about LEGO friends lol
I talked about Lego friends for as long as I wanted too 😂
Wow Lego Chess just unlocked long lost memories for me!
I love when LEGO used to make their own game ... Having LEGO ISLAND , CHESS , CREATOR and RACE ...nices games ...and now LEGO try to back on the path with new games
Lego 2K Drive has been so fun to play, really does seem like a return to form!… except for the micro transactions 🙃
@@UnderTheMoons I dont play the game yet .. but Lego bricktales , journey, world and brawl its amazing even the dlc to forza horizon 4
I remember Rocket Racers most because the game was an attraction at Legoland Windsor for the majority of the 2000s.
This channel deserves more subs.
Awesome video! Love the animations in between the sections. Great design at 21:55 using the hats for champions. Also at 25:53, where did you learn that? I'm curious. 😋
Thanks! :)
Gonna have to dive into the deets for that. But I think it was info in the description of the video on RUclips? The account was sourcing a bunch of old video stuff related to Lego games of the 90’s
Wonderful video. But what about Lego Stunt Rally? (2000)
Thanks so much! :) however! You answered your own question there ;) I was only covering the 90’s games: but I’ll eventually get there
@@UnderTheMoons You're very welcome! I was referring to the references to the racing sequels post-90's (29:00) but since it is not a direct sequel to the "Racers" series, it probably makes more sense to separate it into a different category. I am looking forward to the 2000's video! Thanks for the quick reply!
10:14 Is that seriously the soundtrack from Trinity & Beyond?
20:47 I'm playing Forza Horizon 5 when you brought out that Senna and I'm starting to sorely miss LEGO Valley from 4...
Hell yes! A Trinity & Beyond soundtrack enjoyer! I see it as the origin of Outcast’s soundtrack. Love me some Lennie Moore.
Damn, that intro just nailed me with nostalgia. Well played.
Thanks :)
Holy shit that intro...
You unlocked memories. Lol
LEGO Racers was badass. I still want a Rocket Racer model
Manic miners is a great recreation. I only play that. It doesn't crash like the original game did a ton
7:10 my stepdad actually had huge nostalgia for this game because its the first game he ever played at the ripe age of 8 in second grade and because of this games genre hes huge into strategy games like age of empires which is also a nostalgia crown jewel of his
Lego Island deserves a bit more respect given It's legitimately where it all started.
I wish they remade Lego Island, but with the ability to build anything rather than the default models. Imagine the one-of-a-kind buildings you could construct. Or wacky Mad Max style vehicles
Lego Loco multiplayer was so much fun in short bursts but it required a level of network know how that children and most adults struggled with.
