LEGO Island Versions: Difference between revisions

A beta dated July 25th 1997 is claimed to exist, according to [https://www.rockraidersunited.com/topic/8354-lego-island-beta/ a post on Rock Raiders United]. Not much is known publicly about this build, however a [[LEGO Island Changelog|changelog]] was found on the disc detailing all the beta releases up until it.

Sometimes known as "Version 1.0", its files date to August 8th 1997 making this is the earliest build known to have had a retail release. Both this build and the September build predate LEGO Island's official release date (September 26, 1997), making it unclear why it circulated retail in the first place, considering a newer build was produced before release. It's theorized that perhaps Mindscape had manufactured some copies of this build in preparation for release, and the last minute fixes made in the September build weren't considered important enough to discard units already manufactured.

As far as we know, this version was only ever released in English.
