| Why Blockland is not a completely original creation |

I would like to introduce you all to a bit of my childhood... If any of you were around during the late 90s, and had any sort of interest or obsession with LEGO Media, a range of highly mediocre Lego themed computer games, then chances are that you might've heard of Lego Creator. Similar to Blockland, lego Creator was a virtual sandbox lego building game that was actually endorsed by Lego(*gasp* Shock horror!). Back in 1998, this game was Blockland to me before Blockland even existed! It was Blockland played on an old 233MHz computer. Although it was only single player, while almost everthing about it is now done better in Blockland(Including the god awful minifigure and vehicle controls.), and looking back at it now, the game contained more than a fair share of bugs. There are however a few notable things the game still currently has over Blockland, such as being able to build your own working vehicles, and bricks that moved or rotated. The purpose of this thread is to show many people among here who beleve Blockland to be a completely original creation that something similar has infact been done before by none other than Lego. Now perhaps knowledge of this will get anyone who has suggested that Badspot should sue Lego for 'stealing his idea' with the upcoming LEGO Universe to finaly shut up. |

I've got that installed on this computer. You can launch dynamite at stuff and blow stuff up. |

That was great, but laggy at high brick counts. I made some awesome 'challenges' where you had to find all the coloured bricks. I actually preferred the building system, but you weren't a minifigure blockhead and and Blockland costs less for more options. Lego Alpha Team and Legoland were also classics and Alpha Team would have been great if you could make your own levels. That's a good idea for a mod actually. |

Me and my freind had so much fun when we could run this. But now our computers are to new to play it. |

I loved that game, I found it in a cereal box. |
