Just learned this yesterday while watching this post's author's youtube series where he's decompiling the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MToTEqoVv3I

What is it about Lego Island? It feels like there's always something new being discovered with that game.

From my understanding, it was created by a very passionate team who had to make what turned out to be a very ambitious game from scratch (no game engine to pull from) with very limited hardware.

They even had to invent their own audio compression algorithm to fit the game's soundtracks on the disc.
