A 100% walkthrough of the Windows PC version of LEGO Rock Raiders, a 1999 mining-themed real-time strategy game based on the LEGO theme of the same name. This walkthrough covers all 8 tutorials and all 25 levels in the game. In total, 475 energy crystals were collected, and 9 lost Rock Raiders were found. I didn't bother trying to get scores of 100% on any missions, as doing so is extremely hard for most and completely impossible for some (Run The Gauntlet in particular requires collecting 40 crystals for its score, but you can't collect any, meaning it's impossible to get a score above 50%). This does mean that the best ending can't ever be seen legitimately, as it requires a score of 100% on every mission. I did not record this in one sitting, and it crashed a number of times on harder levels. I ended up starting a new recording at the end of each mission briefing, and stitched the best takes together so that the longplay appeared seamless. Please excuse the failed Run the Gauntlet take, I wanted to show an alternate route that involved a Tunnel Scout, but it selected the new Rock Raider that it had generated as the Cargo Carrier pilot as my character, meaning they could not pilot a flying vehicle. The game has been slightly modified to fix two bugs: one where using Sonic Blasters would crash the game, and another where firing laser beams drains all energy crystals instantly. No other modifications were made. Played on Windows 7 with an AMD Radeon HD 7500. The game was run in 16-bit color mode, and mode selection set to Direct3D HAL, Window. The -fvf parameter was used to create a smoother fog effect in eye view. Recorded with Fraps to lock the framerate to 60 fps (in Window mode the framerate can go very high, which causes AI and crash issues). Recorded at 640x480 resolution, 60fps. This video has been upscaled to 720p to improve its quality and so it can run at 60fps. • Game: LEGO Rock Raiders • Developer: Data Design Interactive (animation by Artworld UK) • Publisher: LEGO Media International • Platform: Windows • Released: 15 November 1999 • Language: English European (PAL) PlayStation version: North American (NTSC) PlayStation version: Download: Manic Miners, a free unofficial remake: CONTENTS: 0:00:00 Intro 0:05:59 Tutorial 1: Moving Rock Raiders 0:10:16 Tutorial 2: Rock Types And Drilling 0:12:27 Tutorial 3: Building Rock Raider HQ 0:23:20 Tutorial 4: Moving Rock Raider Vehicles 0:28:48 Tutorial 5: Using Explosives 0:32:16 Tutorial 6: Constructing Advanced Buildings 0:44:18 Tutorial 7: Drilling With Vehicles 0:47:53 Tutorial 8: Defending Rock Raider HQ 0:55:07 1.
