Golden VGM is not ranked in any order, it is simply a list of the best music.

Ah, Lego Island. The nostalgia just comes flooding back. I played this game a lot as a kid, and I was just so enraptured by its charm and simplicity. Even though I'm not really a sandbox player now, back then I just enjoyed myself doing whatever in this simple classic.

It's actually kind of amazing how this was the first Lego video game to ever be made, and the effort and detail that went into it. The memorable and likeable characters, the plentiful minigames and customization, and not to mention this surprisingly stellar soundtrack. I wasn't into game music as much as I am now, but looking back on it, good lord is this soundtrack excellent, and check out how many people composed for it! This track in particular is hauntingly nostalgic. A rush of childhood joy shivers through my body everytime I hear it.

It's a shame we don't get Lego games like this anymore. Not with the endless splurge of co-branding with other licenses to make easy and standard action-adventure games, not to mention this game's incredibly weak sequel. Ugh.
