Lego Rock Raiders was a Lego theme started 1999, and was discontinued in 2000.Rock Raiders was the only theme in the Lego Underground series before Power Miners. The theme, while short-lived, featured sixteen sets and was backed-up by numerous story-related media, including several comic books and video games.

LEGO Rock Raiders is a real-time strategy game about a team of space explorers who, being only three days from returning from Earth, got pulled through an asteroid field into a wormhole. They found themselves, drained and damaged, orbiting a mysterious planet rich in Energy Crystals (needed to power the LMS Explorer), Ore (needed to repair the LMS Explorer), and strange lifeforms (not wanted at all). Using oversized drills and powerful equipment, the Rock Raiders exploited this planet for their survival.

It was also terribly rushed and revised many times, so a good 30 MB of the 80 MB of data for this game is unused.

Unused Enemies

Three enemies have configuration code and object files left unused in the game.

Large Spiders

A very low-polygon enemy composed mostly of flat sheets, resembling a very scaled-up version of the used Small Spider. There are only three animations for it: standing, walking and an incomplete spitting animation. It appears it was supposed to crawl around and shoot webs. While it can be re-activated, the spit model is corrupted, and the function to form webs was never coded in. Its concept was used in the PlayStation Rock Raiders game, though it was more realistic-looking than either of the spiders from the Windows PC game, and it could bite Rock Raiders.

VLP Snake

A two-polygon surface with a .bmp file of a snake crawling. It greatly resembles the snakes that appear in several of the game's pre-rendered cutscenes. What it would do had it been used is unknown.

Snake

A higher-polygon version of the VLP Snake contained in the same folder, with grey and white markings instead of blue and green. The animations for this creature are glitchy, as the game can't decide if the center of the model is in the head or the actual center of the body. It has an eye texture that doesn't seem to be used, leaving it with a featureless head. In addition to the non-VLP versions of the normal snake's animation, there are also two other animations, snakey and mar-snake, which both give the snake an absurdly wide head and narrow body.

Scorpion

A small red scorpion that may have pinched Rock Raiders, had multiple 'I'm being attacked' animations been coded in for the Rock Raider. This one actually appears in early images, meaning it was working. Additionally, Scorpions were used in the PlayStation game; in fact, their sprites appear to be this same model as viewed from above. Interestingly, Slimy Slugs have a commented out CanScareScorpion line in their configuration code.

Unused Models

Rock Monster Foot

A more realistic (albeit untextured) Rock Monster foot, saved as LeftFoot. The design of this foot fits how the Rock Monster had been designed in the sets. Presumably cut early in favor of a lower-polygon model.

Rock Monster Head

A poorly-designed head, saved as simply Head. It was replaced by a more realistic head and an independently-moving jaw.

Rock Monster Delme

A bizarre file in the Rock Monster folder. There are no traces in the animations telling what it could be. The name presumably is short for 'delete me', so the artists probably meant to remove it, but never got around to it. Upon closer inspection and examining a real LEGO Rock Monster, it appears to be the forearm.

High Polygon Energy Crystal

A very high polygon Energy Crystal model, saved as Crystal in both the Shared folder and the folder for the standard Rock Raider. This model closely resembles actual Energy Crystals as seen in the pre-rendered cutscenes and the LEGO sets, and it has an unnecessarily high 688 polygons. It was presumably cut for performance issues.

Rocks Falling Gem

A strangely-proportioned Energy Crystal model saved as Gem. It was likely not intended to be used as the main Energy Crystal model, but instead was part of an unused landslide animation with unknown purpose. It can be found in a miscellaneous animation folder called RocksFalling, which does not appear to be used at all.

Unused Graphics

To do:
Add them.

There are a lot of unused interface graphics from old designs or that were cut out to simplify the game. There are also a fair number of unused model textures.

Jet Skin

There is a single file in the Rock Raider folder for the pattern of Jet's leg. There was also a 1999 advert that showed several in-game Rock Raiders that were copies of Jet.

As the Rock Raider is named 'Pilot' and there are unused Rock Raiders named as the other training skills, it is believed that the trained Rock Raiders would be dressed like the Rock Raider they take their skill from.

Ice Monster Textures

The Ice Monster has a second texture set that is identical to its current one, except merged into a single file, like the Lava Monster. For some reason, the developers switched it to separate files, like the Rock Monster.

Priorities Panel

A version of the priorities panel with twelve icon slots instead of the nine used in-game. It also lacks a reset button.

Info Images

These two info panel images are variations of the 'a new cavern has been discovered' notification, likely intended for ice and lava caverns; however, the rock cavern image is used universally.

Unused Sounds

To do:
Add them.

The game has a lot of unused voices and sounds, most of which are stored in the Newsfx folder.

Unused Text

There is a large amount of unused text in the game files.

Encyclopaedia

There are four files in LegoRR0.wad/Information/Encyclopaedia/ that hint at a planned in-game help system.

Pilot.epb

rockmonster.epb

smalldigger.epb

Teleport.epb

Level Editor

There is a file (LegoRR0.wad/Information/Help/EditorHelp.txt) with instructions on how to use the (non-existent) level editor; presumably this was a planned or internal feature that was removed in the public release.

Debug Mode

Open LegoRR1.wad with a hex editor and find 'AllowDebugKeys'. There, change the nearby FALSE to TRUE followed with a hex value of 09 and save the modified .wad file. Alternatively, create a shortcut to the game's .exe and add the parameter -programmer to the end of the target path. Then, the player should be able to access many debug keys in the game.

L Instantly exits the level to the results screen.
M Toggles music on or off.
O Decreases oxygen level.
R Rotates the cursor light.
S Toggles sound on or off.

Revisional Differences

Lego

The game was rereleased in the early 2000s, with only two major changes:

  • The SafeDisc copy protection and intentionally-bad sectors were removed, allowing the game to be run without the disc in the drive. However, as the game stores the music as CD audio, the music will not play if this is done.
  • The printed manual was scrapped in favor of a PDF one.

Gameplay[edit]

Microsoft Windows version[edit]

The Microsoft Windows version is a real-time strategy game similar to Dungeon Keeper, and was the first video game for the Rock Raiders theme. The game opens with optional training missions and one actual mission unlocked. Most missions require the player to collect a certain amount of Energy Crystals, the required amount starts low but gradually gets higher in later missions. Some missions require the player to locate Rock Raiders that have been trapped in landslides, or to find certain pieces of equipment and bring it back to their base. One of the game's features is the Priority Menu. With this menu, the player can set what order Rock Raiders carry out their tasks. For example, the player can set whether Rock Raiders should collect Energy Crystals or Lego Ore first.

At the end of each mission, Chief would evaluate the player's work, examining various aspects of the mission. With all these taken into consideration, Chief would give a mission rating percentage.

Ebay Lego Rock Raiders

There are twenty-five missions total, each of them is in either a rock, lava/volcanic or ice cavern environment. It is not necessary to complete every mission with 100%, or even complete all the missions, to complete the campaign, however, the player will unlock a 'better' ending cutscene by completing the campaign in full.

PlayStation version[edit]

Unlike the Microsoft Windows version, the PlayStation version is an action and strategy game, in which the player controls a character instead of just commanding a squad. While the Microsoft Windows game was centered on constructing a base and mining, the PlayStation game centers on exploring.

Most missions require the player to collect a certain amount of Energy Crystals, while some missions require the player to rescue Rock Raiders that have been trapped by landslides. There are eighteen campaign missions, and six multiplayer missions, all completely different between the NTSC and PAL versions of the game. The PAL version also including three bonus missions that are accessible after the campaign is completely finished, and twelve additional multiplayer missions reusing levels from the main campaign. Rather than a percentage, at the end of each mission you receive either a bronze medal (minimum required objectives complete), a silver medal (most objectives complete), or a gold medal (all objectives complete in the required time).

Reception[edit]

The Windows edition of the game received average reviews from both IGN and GameSpot, with both sites scoring the game around 6/10.[1][3] The PlayStation edition, on the other hand, received a less positive 3.2/10 score from GameSpot.[4] The game was praised for its graphical appearance and sound effects but was criticised for being frustrating and boring.[3]
