However, after a while, the cleverness of this CD ROM comes to the fore. In the virtual LEGO Creator world you don't just build things and then take them apart; you can make them fly at the touch of a button, give them apposite or ludicrous sounds, change their colour with a single mouse-click, even blow them up (flamboyantly) using the special DESTRUCTA bricks.

We originally had this software title when our computer was running Windows 98 and it provided hours of fun for the children and they spent hours building intricate and delicate virtual lego models, only to then take great delight in blowing them all up again. The bonus this time is that it's only the limit of the child's imagination that is the limit of the building, as they can never run out or bricks and have every possible combination of "special" bricks to complete that extraordinary building or vehicle. You can video the vehicles in motion also and then replay the effects to your heart's content.

When we upgraded to Windows XP this was one of the many games that were consigned to the car boot sale, as it didn't seem to work very well under the new Operating System. Recently though my son, obviously in a fit of nostalgia started pining for this game again, so I was most happy to see it re-issued and at a bargain price.
