Honestly, get in contact with MattKC on YouTube. He's made a program called LEGO Island Rebuilder that makes it play on modern systems. He's also currently decomping the game.

this game unironically was fundamental in developing my own personal taste in video games. While the game is light in content, just the whole ambience of being able to vibe on an island and explore at your own pace made this game always something i could go back to in both childhood and adulthood. If only it was easy to run, as even at the time i remember having troubles getting the game to render and nowadays there's all sorts of fan compatibility patches that have to be done in order to get it working. If this game got the GoG treatment, it would mean a lot to me.

This game has a very unique history. Not only when it comes to the game itself but also it's development. Probably one reason why it hasn't seen the light of day on modern platforms. But it still has a strong community of passionate fans and it would be great to see it return to the spotlight in form of a re-release.

This is one of the first video games I ever played. I was about 6 years old at a friend's house decades ago. I remember being blown away by the visuals at the time.

This was the very first PC game I ever remember playing and one of the first open world games I remember playing as well. I always enjoyed exploring the island, laughing at the absurdity, and enjoying the jukebox and the Brickalini's Pizza Place (Those songs are darn catchy)!

I struggled to make this game work on my grandpa's PC for weeks. When I finally did, I discovered the very first open world I'd ever seen -- at least in my kid's mind, cause in reality, it's a point & click.

one of my absolute favorite games as a child. I'm astonished they haven't done more with it over the past few decades, especially since Lego games took off over the past decade and a half

I played a lot of the early Lego games when I was a kid and this was one of them. I loved the mini-games, the characters, the voice acting, and some of the random events that occurred. It also had a very memorable soundtrack.

I have never gotten the chance to experience this game myself, though I have heard countless stories of how fun and nostalgic it was. I would love to have the chance to experience it myself.

This game was the first open-world lego game. The lego games we have today wouldn't exist without this one. It is game history preservation at stake if we don't rerelease it for modern hardware.

Until Dawn
Until DawnUntil Dawn is an interactive drama survival horror video game. It was originally scheduled to be released on the PlayStation 3 and feature PlayStation Move support, but in August 2014, the game was reintroduced as a PlayStation 4 exclusive. Until Dawn is designed to be played multiple times, as players will miss out on quite a bit of content with a single playthrough. Each will last about nine hours in length and the game mechanics utilize a new in-game system called the "Butterfly Effect" in which any choice of action by the player may cause unforeseen consequences later on. For example, locating a weapon in an earlier chapter may allow the player to pick it up down the line when a chase scene leads back to the same room. Throughout the game, players will make difficult decisions during ethical or moral dilemmas, such as sacrificing one character to save another. The Butterfly Effect system blurs the line between right and wrong decisions and it is possible for players to keep all eight characters alive as well as having all eight of them die, allowing for many different paths and scenarios as well as offering several different endings. Until Dawn has a strict auto-save system to prevent players from reloading a previous save file to an earlier point in the game if they regret an in-game decision they have made. The only way to change the player's choice is to restart the game from the beginning or continue to the end and start a new game. In a developer interview, it has been said that Until Dawn has "hundreds of endings". Different endings have different variations depending on the combination of characters alive at the end of the game. The gameplay is focused on exploration, quick-time events and discovering clues as well as making decisions. There is an in-game system that will keep track of all of the clues and secrets players have discovered in total, even if there are multiple playthroughs; these clues will allow the player to piece together the mysteries of Blackwood. In terms of the gameplay mechanics and theme, Until Dawn has been noted to be similar to Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls. Until Dawn was met with a positive critical response upon release, with praise directed at the visuals, choice mechanic, horror elements, music, voice acting and gameplay design. Most of the criticism the game drew was concerning the story, mostly the second half, camera angles, character movements and partially linear plot.
