 {{Main article|LEGO Island Versions}}
-There are only two retail builds of LEGO Island known to exist: a build dated August 1997 (v1.0), and a build dated September 1997 (v1.1). Both builds predate LEGO Island's official release, making the August build somewhat of an oddity. It's assumed that Mindscape had already pressed discs with v1.0 before making "quality of life" improvements in v1.1 that were considered too minor to discard the already pressed discs. Or perhaps v1.0 was a beta run that was considered "stable enough" to be released retail.
+There are only two retail builds of LEGO Island known to exist: a build originally dated August 1997 and identified as "1.0.0.0" (usually shortened to "1.0") and a build originally dated September 1997 and identified as "1.1.0.0" (usually shortened to "1.1").

-The August build is fairly rare and appears to only have been released in English. All other versions and localizations, including repackages from as late as 2001, still appear to be the September 1997 build.
+The August build is fairly rare. The vast majority of copies are v1.1 and most languages are not known to have ever had a v1.0 release. The exception is the Japanese version, which despite being released several months after v1.1's build date, appears to have only ever been released in v1.0.
