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.

Both this build and the September build predate LEGO Island's official release date (September 26, 1997), making it unclear why this circulated in retail ''at all'' (considering a newer build was already produced before release). It's theorized that perhaps Mindscape had already manufactured copies of this build, and the changes introduced in the September were considered too insignificant to discard the already manufactured copies.


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