It's a real shame that this game has never received a re-release from Lego. It's a fun RTS game for younger people who are not familiar with the genre. Being able to traverse the maps in first person adds a sense of adventure, excitement and immersion. Also the Rock Raiders franchise was the most memorable Lego series IMO.
Rock Raiders was a major part of my childhood and enforced a love of mining and resource collection in video games. Ontop of exploring large sprawling caverns with sentient golem monsters. This and several other Lego games are ones I'd love to see made immortal through functioning on newer hardware.
While there IS the free fan Remake, This is still THE GAME that I'd get up at the early hours of the morning to play as a kid. I'd almost give anything to revive that range.
Very kid friendly RTS, that should live on in the hearts of generations to come!
Pure nostalgia here. Glad to see other people with the same memories here in the comment section. It was a huge part of my childhood. And indeed it was great with some genious immersive ideas
This was probably one of my favorite Lego games I played the daylights out of when I was a kid, not because of the sets they were based off of but also because it was introduced me to RTS games in the first place.
One of my most played games out of childhood, so burned into my brain that I still randomly will say "Your oxygen supply is running low" and "You found ore!" I still have my old disc, but looking at the hoops that have to be jumped through to get it somewhat running, the thought of getting a remastered version that just works on modern systems would be a dream come true.
I loved playing it during the Windows XP era, I found out they made a copy of the game solely for the XP OS... It seems the normal version had some issues and XP didn't like it.
Oh, I guess that means we have two versions floating around...well three if you count the Play Station version...hmm.
This game is a such a rare RTS game that even to this day you wont even really find big budget games or even any indie games today that captured that feeling of really being "in it" that this game and probably CnC Renegade did for me when I was a kid. This game might have been a big reason why I love simulation/resource gathering games I do now.
There's a reason people love this so much that a variety of fan remakes and patches exist for this, it's that good. Not only is it a great use of the lego concept (since you build your base) but it's pretty unique as far as RTS games go, most RTS titles pit you against an equivalent army, this pits you against nature. I can't think of another survival RTS though Dungeon Keeper is clearly an inspiration. Incredible atmosphere and some really unique features.
WHile this is a good endeavor. TO enshrine the original is good. But if you're unaware there is a FREE remake of the game on a modern engine called "Manic Miners".
Just remember. A landslide has occured

StarLancerStarlancer is a space-based science fiction flight simulator computer game, created by Erin Roberts, Chris Roberts, and Warthog PLC under the auspices of Digital Anvil.
It is the year 2160. Mankind has colonized the solar system and two political entities have emerged: the Alliance consisting of American, Australian, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, British and German forces, and The Coalition of Russian, Chinese and Middle-Eastern interests. The game begins with a surprise attack on Fort Kennedy, where a peace treaty turns into a bloodbath: all of the inner four planets are overrun, including Terra herself, and the Italian and French fleets are utterly lost. The Alliance fleet regroups at Triton, Neptune's moon, and attempts to regain lost territory. The player takes the role of a rookie pilot in the international 45th Volunteers squadron, under the command of Captain Robert Foster and Wing Commander Maria Enriquez, aboard the re-commissioned British carrier ANS Reliant.
As with Wing Commander: Prophecy, the pilot's flying ability is the only meter by which success and failure is measured, though Starlancer does not feature as many branching mission paths. As in Wing Commander I the pilot may be promoted throughout the course of the campaign; unlike WCI, their rank determines which fighters and missiles they may choose to employ during each mission. The game provides a "virtual carrier" through which to navigate, including nearby crewmembers whose reaction to you depends on your current rank and standing. However, the true gem of the game lies in its textual and video news broadcasts, which keep the player informed as to the status of the rest of the war, which seems to be progressing just over the horizon. Players frequently find themselves flying alongside squadrons and pilots they have heard about on the news just recently, providing a dose of 'celebrity exposure' and also increasing the sensation that they are just one part of a much larger war effort.
Starlancer's story is continued in Chris Roberts' Freelancer project, though the two belong to different subgenres (the first is purely focused on action, the latter also features trading and the player can freely move through the game's universe when they are not on a mission.)Action Science fiction
