05/06/99 > Forms
Hi there, I visited your site from a posting at a forum. I saw your reply to someone needing help with forms. I was also having difficulty creating a form and I hope you don't mind that I used your form as a template guide. It isn't complete just yet but it has made it so much easier. I wasn't completely sure that I filled in your form as at the time I was also editing my effort online and got into a bit of a mess. I'm not well versed with Lego but found your site quite fascinating and interesting, you are to be congratulated. I wish you well.

Thanks for the positive comments :) . I really don't mind if you used my form template, because they can get tricky... Yup, that's me, always answering people on HTML Q&A message boards. Well, thanks again for stopping by! Your're welcome!

25/12/99 > Lego Island hints & cheats
Is it true that there are cheats / hints for Lego Island? My friend said he saw a few posted somewhere, but can't remember them. Do you know any? -Greg

Yes, there sure are a couple of "easter-eggs" in the game Lego Island:
Dancing trees and flowers:
During game play press Z + T. 
Listen to radio during credits:
During game play press Esc. Turn on the radio and click on the red brick when prompted to exit. 
Flight Mode:
Enter the elevator in the Information Center. Allow one minute to elapse while in the elevator. Then, use the cursor keys to fly around the town. 
Play as the Brickster:
Start the hospital mission, but do not save anybody. Wait a few minutes until you are arrested then you will become The Brickster.

28/10/99 > Lego Giraffe
Hello, first I'd like to say I like your site it was very organized and had plenty of information. Next, HELP ME =) I'M looking for a design pattern for a giraffe made of Legos. I don't have any ideas to make one on my own. Let me know if you can help.

Thank you,
Brian P. Hartman

Hi! Thanks for stopping by the site. Try drawing the layout. I usually grab a piece of paper and pencil and imagine how I could build it. Try to build your Giraffe in layers. Make cross-sections, or "skin" by "skin" technique. Its to start with, say, 4 bricks as the feet, and build on top, adding 4 more, like a layer. Then to keep on going until you have 5-6 layers. Then create the body. Find a platform, and pile bricks around and on top to make it oval shaped. Once you have made a type of "boat" with the bricks, build the other half, like 2 egg shells. Assemble the two halves, and you have a small round-shaped sphere. Next, the head. The way you create it is up to you. I like to be detailed. Once done, simply add a row of bricks and extend it to make a neck. Assemble the head, neck, body and legs together, and a giraffe should be roughly created. Now that you have an approximate model, it makes it easier to draw the way your "real" giraffe will be. Take note of corrections and techniques you could use, or things you could change. No matter which way you create it, the final product should look great. Hope I helped!
