This was my favorite game ever as a kid. It was probably the game that introduced me to gaming. I remember I'd always try to build junkbot and levels and stuff in actual lego

Junkbot is a game where you play as an orange "junkbot" which has an addiction to eating trash. He is hired by a factory to clean all the trash, and you have to guide junkbot over hazards and around dangerous things to lead him to the trash.

There's a crapload of things that you need to progress through levels in junkbot:

  • Colored Brick- What you move to get Junkbot to the can.
  • Jump Brick- Small gray and blue springs that make Junkbot jump.
  • Movable Jump Brick- Like an ordinary jump brick, but is yellow (instead of gray), and can be moved like a colored brick.
  • Shield Brick- Blue box that will make Junkbot invincible to the next enemy/hazard that touches him. However, it will wear off after touching that enemy/hazard. Note that shield bricks can only be used once!
  • Fan Brick- A fan that will send Junkbot up high.
  • Switch- Buttons that will switch fans or fire bricks on/off. However, some switches do nothing.

There's also hazards:

  • Fire Brick- Too hot for Junkbot! Will burn up Junkbot.
  • Drip- Pipes that will drip water that can short-circuit Junkbot.

And enemies:

  • Gearbot- These robots can only move horizontally on a flat surface. They will move back when they hit a wall.
  • Climbot- These robots can move in any direction and can climb over short structures. However, they can't float over tall structures (though they will climb staircases).
  • Flybot- These robots will fly in a straight direction. If they hit a surface they will move back.
  • Eyebot- These flying robots are similar to Flybots, but will chase Junkbot if they see him.

oh my loving god this was the best LEGO game ever, along with the MNOLG, Backlot, and that one mindstorms one where you're the only survivor of a crashed ship.

Oh my god I used play this all day long

I made like 10 of these guys when I was younger.

It might even be my first computer game I ever tried, but I don't remember.
