This means games like LEGO Loco and Rock Raiders are included, but Bionicle and LEGO Marvel Super Heroes aren't. As it turns out, only **nine** games had original sets or themes.
  
  I've assembled this list by going through every LEGO game, and then comparing that against the sets released in the same year the game was released.
