Hilarious glitch you could do on this game,get on police bike and accelerate to full speed, get off it while it's moving, and it will never slow down. Head up to observation tower and you will be able to see the bike zooming around the island at 300mph permanently (and you also get to watch it run everyone over)
@@daltonironi There are two endings, a good ending when you catch the Brickster and a bad ending if you fail to catch him in time. There's also a cut bad ending which lasts longer and is even more horrifying because it really lingers on how bad the situation became with Brickster on the loose.
I think I got the bad ending once and then started over and would never deliver pizza to "the jail" again because I was TERRIFIED of the Brickster. I just did the racing instead.
"it would warp their mind completely" ... I played the shit out of this game when I was a little kid, and I am not ok as an adult. So I think this is accurate.
I appreciate you adding my tutorial to the description, I really should update it as some people have had issues I'd like to try and see if I can iron out and have a definite fix for them. Also I do mention in the tutorial how to play this at the original aspect ratio, there are meant to be black bars at the sides since this was out when only fullscreen monitors were around, so right now it's very horizontally stretched to 16:9 where it's meant to be 4:3, the resolution for 4:3 at 1080 tall is 1440x1080.
Your video was very helpful for me when setting the game up. I figured I'd link it since I would get a lot of people asking how I got it running on Windows 10. Cheers for the great work!
This was one the greatest games ever created and for playing it, you have earned a spot in gaming history honor halls. Beware the giant swinging leg skeleton. Play LEGO racers 1 as well.
Bit surprising how many people played this as a kid. Fun fact: while not considered street legal, skateboards are considered vehicles in the US insofar as it's possible to get a DUI on one.
Unironically? I played this game literally all the time on my computer while my parents were going through their divorce as a kid. So.... yeah, thanks Mick.
Waiting for part 2. I never realized how crazy the island setup was when I was a kid... I do remember getting lost and not knowing there was a neighborhood up on the mountain.
Holy hell what a nostalgia trip. I remember being seven years old playing this on my dad's computer from 1997 and there are distinct memories I have of the game. 1. There was a knight's minigame where unironically played it for 2 hours before realizing I'm a moron and that I was doing it wrong the entire time and after that completing its first try 2. There was a plane mini game that was so difficult that I had to call my dad and even he couldn't beat it 3. At the end of the game, the main character says some cheesy one-liner about how the pizzeria made the pizza extra spicy before throwing it in the villains face and winning the game 7/10 three points are deducted because that plane mini game was so awful it made me madder than I have ever been at any game to the point that I pierced my speakers with the mouse cord (don't ask)
@@sterredeweert9517 Well first I have to preface the story by saying that these aren't the modern era speakers but instead the speakers from the early 2000s with a weird mesh cover over them (look up Harman Kardon HK19.5 to see the covers I had and am referring to) which meant that you could just break apart the mesh with any sharp object. So there's seven-year-old me who spent probably hours at this point trying to beat the plane mini game the point I got so frustrated I started biting my mouses cable cord. Believe it or not human teeth tear through shitty Communist era rubber cord covers very easily even if they are childrens teeth. So anyway as I'm chowing down on apparently the most delicious meal I've ever had as a child I ripped the cover clean off (looking back at it now it's amazing I didn't get electrocuted). I continue playing the game and I keep getting more mad but the problem is there's no more rubber to chew on. Instead my genius child brain decides that destroying the mouse what's enough but using the now exposed copper wire to slowly scraping the mesh covering my speakers off. Moments after I calmed down I realized how much of a fuck up I just committed, considering my dad now had a mouse with a piece of copper wire exposed and one speaker that works way worse than before. Safe to say I wasn't allowed near any family computers for years after that (oh yeah and the ass whooping I probably got lol). From that point any hissy-fits that I had during a game were only a fraction of the og Lego Island days.
The first game didn't have those minigames, but what it did have was a trauma-inducing bad ending where the game goes through the city and shows you how awful everything is because you failed to catch the Brickster
@@f3ryx hmmm i remember a plane minigame but it was building a copter and then chasing the brickster. I have no idea about knights so it could be LI2 he is talking about
I remember playing this and Lego island 2. I have more memories of 2. Nothing beats mashing your fingers relentlessly on the keyboard during the jousting section 😆
Oh oh my god its happening. Lego Island, Racers, and Rock Raiders are my childhood. If I can make an old game suggestion, Lego Rock Raiders (PC, not the awful Playstation one it's completely different) is my favorite of the old Lego games. Just something about that grid exploration mixed with unit control and building is just *chef kiss*. Even if you don't do a video I still say it's something to go through. I wish it could get a new game or a way to make custom maps.
I had trouble downloading this on my computer when I was a kid, so I never got to play it and was super bummed. Now my dreams have come true and Micky does a video on it, cheers!
Loved playing this on the family PC in the 90s, my favorite thing to do was set the time of day to twilight and just cruise around the island on a bike listening to the music.
OH PLEASE DO A PART TWO. There are quests at each building, and I remember them all being pretty bonkers. From my memory: - You can do the race if you click on the FLAG at the track (it's fuckin' wild you should definitely do it) - A boat race at the beach - Click on the hat at the police station and Pepper becomes the law - At the hospital you can be a Lego EMT (you see some SHIT) - You can use the elevator in the Lego Center Finally, to play the story, build the helicopter at the police station and deliver a pizza as Pepper...............................................................
Just 3 minutes in and I'm dying from laughing. I remember playing this game and even got all my friends to play it as well. We'd go over to each other's houses just to check on their cars and stuff, it was wild. Nostalgia's hitting me like a break in the forehead. Cheers, Micky - great vid!
I have a fond fever dream-esc memory of playing this game as a kid for like 5 minutes trying to deliver a pizza before it completely disappeared from my reality entirely. Thank you so much for this
I fondly remember playing this on my dad's computer way back when I was small! Please visit LEGO Island again! You didn't even build any vehicles or did any races!
Jesus. I had this shit as a kid on a pirated CD but was never able to leave the starting room. Dunno if it was due to my dumbiness or some bug. But I was thinking that behind the walls there is a real LEGO city full of life and stuff. I was returning back over and over again, desperately clicking all the pixels in this fucking room. Was very upset and thought that I am losing lots of fun. I fantasised about all the miracles that are hidden for me and was even somewhat angry. Who would have known that it was just this.
Its so refreshing seeing Mike just play with a lot games. I do love Morrowind but the man needs a break here and there and if that means Lego Island then more power to him
Glad that you're back Micky! Hope you're doing well! This video made my day - bout yours always does so thanks for that and gongrats to the 100.000 followers
LEGO island Mr. D you are providing me with greatness. I loved this and 2. Nothing compares to rock raiders but I don’t know how well that will fit with your channel.
I think I relentlessly played the demo of this game from a PC mag, it crashed at the same point every play through but I just kept rerunning it 😂 thanks for this trip down memory lane
I love that the bass line when he says "The bass is going crazy!" Sounds nearly identical to the bass line in "Threshold" from Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World.
Omg! I remember my brother showing me the hidden cave near the beach with the ghost and pirate skeleton! It blew my mind. LAUNCH THE PIZZA! LAUNCH THE DONUTS!!
seeing this opening is legit triggering me on some level; so many memories of trying to play this on the old family potato pc, and having the game crash and freeze at so many points during the game intro thanks for makin the video though lol
O.k. You can build a Helicopter at the Police Station, A race car and enter the races at the racetrack, And build a Jet Ski and race it at the lifeguard stand. The pizza quest will only progress after you build the Helicopter as it's an integral part of the story, or what little one existed in this game. Btw, i'm 30 and that was all from memory that instantly resurfaced after seeing this video. Thanks for the PTSD flashbacks Micky.
I remember playing this as a kid, and it bothered me to no end that you could not walk on the grass. I also remember being bored out of my skull playing this, as there is so little to do, or to do with legos to begin with, aka. building. I much preferred C&C, Doom 2, Commander Keen etc. over this... err, let's just call it experiment.
I played this game a bunch as a kid. I got it on my 6th birthday I think? It was definitely 1997. My dad would help me play it as I barely understood what to do and helped me beat the game probably 20 times. He had so much patience for me, sadly he passed away just a few months ago. Came across the old disc in the old family computer desk, brought back some memories/tears.
Forgot this game existed, was reminded of it, searched it, and realised Micky did a video on it - my day is made! It might look primitive, but when you’re 7, this world is weirdly immersive ...
OMG YOU HAVE TO DO A FULL PLAY THROUGH!!!! PLEASE MICKY!!!! ITLL ONLY BE LIKE 3 EPISODES AND YOU HAVENT DONE ANY OF THE FUN RACES YET MAN!!!!.... im not telling you that it needs to be done or anything , but i feel like they would be top tier content :◇
Wow, I remember every interaction of the game in this video, despite not thinking about it at all over the past 20 years. I this what I committed to memory instead of algebra?

I’m bout to buy the game just to show that glitch lol 🤣
@@zemotika don’t even need to buy it probably, might be available for free since it is abandonware.
i have seen this with the skateboard too
pretty sure it works with every vehicle.
@@1secondarysmile yes it does! i used to do that all the time, up until they all crashed into each other and stopped moving.
This game was a piece of my childhood.
It explains a lot in retrospect.
Police are inbound
It certainly might explain why a lot of adults have ADD.

Was literally about to comment this.
Holy shit, this was the first video game I ever played. Still remember bringing the guy in jail a pizza and absolutely ruining the entire world
The bad ending is legit scary
@@MickyD bro there are multiple endings?
@@daltonironi There are two endings, a good ending when you catch the Brickster and a bad ending if you fail to catch him in time. There's also a cut bad ending which lasts longer and is even more horrifying because it really lingers on how bad the situation became with Brickster on the loose.
@@ertrick3693 damn lego was wild back then
I think I got the bad ending once and then started over and would never deliver pizza to "the jail" again because I was TERRIFIED of the Brickster. I just did the racing instead.
Shegorath was 100% in charge of developing this game. Without a doubt he has a few people locked in this world in his realm.

@@limalepakko6074 who knows ... there is probibly a big door saying "you can leave any time you want" but the person is so insane they refuse to exit

You're doing god's work, Mick. Reminding us of all these games from our past that we might otherwise forget. Godspeed you magnificent bastard.
I played this as a kid.
I got diagnosed with autism many years later.
Coincidence? I think not.
“Lego island caused many of my friends children to become autistic. Many such cases. Sad !” -Donald J Tsu
"it would warp their mind completely" ... I played the shit out of this game when I was a little kid, and I am not ok as an adult. So I think this is accurate.
Lego Island is like an underground Morrowind.
I appreciate you adding my tutorial to the description, I really should update it as some people have had issues I'd like to try and see if I can iron out and have a definite fix for them.
Also I do mention in the tutorial how to play this at the original aspect ratio, there are meant to be black bars at the sides since this was out when only fullscreen monitors were around, so right now it's very horizontally stretched to 16:9 where it's meant to be 4:3, the resolution for 4:3 at 1080 tall is 1440x1080.
Your video was very helpful for me when setting the game up. I figured I'd link it since I would get a lot of people asking how I got it running on Windows 10.

Anyone else love that Micky got jump scared by a plastic toy man telling him he did a good job spelling his own name?
11:11 That shocked me. All my years, I never knew the pizza can disappear if you go afk (or get lost lol.)
This was one the greatest games ever created and for playing it, you have earned a spot in gaming history honor halls.
Beware the giant swinging leg skeleton.
Play LEGO racers 1 as well.
Racers 1 is my jam, but damn do the NPCs cheat lmao.
@@crispinmcsticks lol Gypsy Moth be flyin' down the tracks.

"If you suffer from good taste, you propably left this video."
Excuse me?
Lego Island is good taste no matter what!
Unironically?
I played this game literally all the time on my computer while my parents were going through their divorce as a kid. So.... yeah, thanks Mick.
That sounds like fun!

I haven't touched this game in over a decade, but I still remember where everything is.
I feel like a lot of the weird humor from this game made it into the first Lego Movie, in a way.
I had trouble downloading this on my computer when I was a kid, so I never got to play it and was super bummed. Now my dreams have come true and Micky does a video on it, cheers!
some of these textures look deep-fried and it only adds to the craziness

the comedy is like it was written this year lol
“Nice ponytail, officer.
… does your wife grab it at night-“ WHEEEEEEEEEZE
I just can't believe that this game is real. I thought it all was just a weird dream.

Micky your intro call outs to us have been accurate but youve genuinely attacked me now with the "childhood divorce fans" line 😂
It was a bit of a deep cut.
Having played this game through and through, you disappoint me slightly with such a short dive into it. The racetrack is a fantastic experience.
same, i was pulling my hair out cause i know what to do lol
Who here still owns a physical copy of this?
Yip, the physical editions of the later lego games were great they had lego studs on the covers.
@@Prlwy-T even the ones from the 90's

I would pay good money to watch you play island xtreme stunts!!!! The in game radio had some absolute bangers as well. 🤣🤣
12:00 I was not expecting to hear that
I love that this channel has become you diving into your nostalgia
seeing this opening is legit triggering me on some level; so many memories of trying to play this on the old family potato pc, and having the game crash and freeze at so many points during the game intro
thanks for makin the video though lol
Good God, I have missed this game for decades haha. So glad it's being improved.
O.k.
You can build a Helicopter at the Police Station,
A race car and enter the races at the racetrack,
And build a Jet Ski and race it at the lifeguard stand.
The pizza quest will only progress after you build the Helicopter as it's an integral part of the story, or what little one existed in this game.
Btw, i'm 30 and that was all from memory that instantly resurfaced after seeing this video.

Everytime dialogue happens in this game I feel like I'm on drugs
Congratulations on 100k. Keep doing what you love.
So you’re telling me this wasn’t a fever dream I had as a child?
I played this game a bunch as a kid. I got it on my 6th birthday I think? It was definitely 1997. My dad would help me play it as I barely understood what to do and helped me beat the game probably 20 times. He had so much patience for me, sadly he passed away just a few months ago.

Good to see you back
You are a blessing for my nostalgia I love you
I noticed you started editing the beginning of your videos. I like it.
"childhood divorce fans" I feel like this guy knows me too well
No way. I played this game growing up, this is some nostalgia bait this is. Time to watch a lego island 2, 50 part series
Forgot this game existed, was reminded of it, searched it, and realised Micky did a video on it - my day is made! It might look primitive, but when you’re 7, this world is weirdly immersive ...
The scream in the main theme song is Mark Hamill from Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back.
This game looks more scary than most of the horror games coming out nowadays
from the voice acting to the visuals to the music this is like a 2021 shitpost in a video game
