Yeah, they left in all the "features" that Microsoft put in there too. Seriously, Commodore didn't produce a decent basic until they released the 128 and that was still worse than BBC Basic.
While I too lament the dumbing down of Lego, I feel that I need to correct you and point out that "Lego" is a company name. You can't pluralise it in to Legos!
You probably mean "... first (or second?) boxes of Lego" and "...storage trailer with 20,000 tons of Lego bricks...".
With a large collection of Lego Town, Lego Space and Lego Technic from the late 70's through to late 80's, I could build just about anything - especially with the motors, gears and pnuematics. Definitely toy of the 20th century, if not the millenium, but I can't realistically see that continuing.
Also, I love Star wars and I love Lego, so when Lego Star wars started appearing a few years ago, I was over the moon with excitment at being able to relive two of the best loved things from my childhood. I just wish the wife would let me play in peace!;)
If the PC demoscene is anything like the proppa old skool C64 and Amiga demoscene, then these guys are hand coding directly in machine code!
They're also prob'ly 14 year olds from Sweden or Denmark.
