You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.195.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 09:46, 11 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Lego Loco''''' is a [[Lego]]-branded [[virtual world]] game for [[Microsoft Windows]], released in November 1998.<ref>((cite press release |url=https://www.thefreelibrary.com/LEGO+Media+International+Introduces+Three+New+Software+Titles.-a053019714 |title=LEGO Media International Introduces Three New Software Titles. |date=22 September 2018 |publisher=[[Lego Media]] |via=[[The Free Library]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181007145530/https://www.thefreelibrary.com/LEGO+Media+International+Introduces+Three+New+Software+Titles.-a053019714 |archive-date=7 October 2018 |url-status=dead |quote=LEGO Media International, a division of the LEGO Group, will release three new software titles for children this November. The three new products -- LEGO Creator(TM), LEGO Loco(TM) and LEGO Chess(TM) -- will extend the LEGO(R) values of quality, creativity and imagination into interactive software.))</ref> It is a simple open-ended construction game with an emphasis on [[rail transport]]. The aim of the game is to construct a town in which [[Lego minifigure|Lego minifigures]] can live. This was the first game released by [[Lego Media]], the publishing division of [[The Lego Group]] that was founded after the commercial success of [[Mindscape (company)|Mindscape]]'s ''[[Lego Island]]''.

== Gameplay ==
[[File:Lego Loco.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Gameplay in ''Lego Loco'']]
At the start of the game, the player is bestowed with a "Toy Box", from which they can select different parts from lists and place them directly into the space provided. They can place down roads, railway lines, stations, crossings, buildings, and scenery. To start the simulation, the player must close the Toy Box, and the town will come to life (though the player can open it again to make changes, save the town, or open a new one). After a while [[Minifigure|Lego figures]] will begin moving into the houses provided (if any), and the player can, like with ordinary figures, pick them up and place them elsewhere. This can affect the figure's mood, depending on where it's placed.

Using the train house ([[engine shed]]), the player can create trains to run on the railway lines. If a train has [[Passenger car (rail)|passenger carriages]] it will stop at any stations that have been placed alongside the track.  The player can control the train's speed and direction and add a [[Railway post office|mail carriage]] to the train, thus enabling it to stop at post offices and carry postcards that have been created by the player.  The train or trains can also go through tunnels that the player can place at the edge of the map, and some tunnels can be used to help exchange postcards with other players (provided a network has been set).

Aaron Curtiss from the ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' said in his review that "Lego Loco is a mess. The intent was to give kids a virtual railroad to build and run. What they get is a game that made me want to tie myself to the tracks".<ref>((cite web|first=Aaron|last=Curtiss|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1998-dec-28-fi-58255-story.html|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20231004135829/https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1998-dec-28-fi-58255-story.html|title=Where Fun Runs Into a Brick Wall|newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]]|archivedate=October 4, 2023|date=December 28, 1998|accessdate=October 4, 2023))</ref>
