Oh man, Lego Island... there's a childhood memory from the 90's.
I remember being super-disappointed as a kid that it wasn't a free-build type game. There was building, but it was rather guided and there was a story.
I wanted something more like Lego Creator but in first-person. Lego never really produced something like that but sometime in the mid-2000's someone cranked out Blockland which scratched that itch and then Minecraft came along and I was addicted to that in the early days before it became a big smash hit and was sold to Microsoft.
Edit: Also the multiplayer aspects of Blockland and Minecraft put anything LEGO ever created to shame... they just couldn't grasp the online/community thing and I'm not sure they wanted to handle the moderation for it either.
