Welcome to the LEGO Island web port project! This is a recreation of the classic 1997 PC game, rebuilt to run in modern web browsers using Emscripten.

This incredible project stands on the shoulders of giants. It was made possible by the original decompilation project, which was then adapted into a portable version. This represents a year-long effort, involving thousands of hours of work from many awesome contributors dedicated to preserving this piece of gaming history.

Our goal is to make this classic accessible to everyone. The project is still in development, so you may encounter bugs. Your patience and feedback are greatly appreciated!
