The changelog was provided out of order, it appears the latter half are the first builds starting in June 3, 1997, and the first half are the later builds ending at July 24, 1997. It can be inferred through this that Lego Island was in beta for nearly two months, and the [[Lego Island Versions|first retail release]] was only about two weeks later (on August 8th 1997).

The changelogs for the early builds contain information on playing/beating the game, as well as preemptive apologies for bugs, ostensibly for testers. The first build's changelog also instructs players to uninstall previous versions of Lego Island and manually delete registry keys, implying there may have been pre-beta/alpha versions of Lego Island distributed to testers.
