Development and release

LEGO Fun to Build was developed at Sega for the educational Sega Pico video game console. The game was designed for children between the ages of three and six. Akemi Kamata headed the game's production. Kamata thought that a game featuring LEGO bricks would work well on the Pico, believing that LEGO naturally fostered creativity.[1]: 5–6  Development was completed during October 1995,[3] and the game was released in Japan in December 1995.[2]
