I'm surprised that this hasn't many votes. This is THE game when you think of LEGO. It's a sandbox where you can build whatever you want with the classic bricks and you can even bring them to live (cars driving, minfigures walking around or sitting, planes flying, etc.). You can even blow stuff up with the dynamite bricks! This is how a LEGO game should be. There are plenty of virtual LEGO designers out there, but this is also with lots of imagination. I loved playing it back then and having this on GoG would be a dream, since it's almost impossible to get working.
This is Lego the video game. This is Minecraft before Minecraft was even a vague idea. Absolutely brilliant game where you could do... I mean, it felt like anything. An utterly phenomenal title and one of the first 5 games I purchased with my own money. I think my brother and must have put hundreds of hours into this game.
Oh man, I have many fond memories of this game. I was never very good at building things from scratch, but I loved to mess around with the vehicles in the game. I remember trying to make a functioning jetpack for a minifig by putting a propeller on it. It flew, but it didn't control terribly well.
