'''''LEGO Rock Raiders''''' is a 1999 real-time strategy video game developed by [[Data Design Interactive]] and published by [[LEGO Media International]] for [[Wikipedia:Microsoft Windows|Microsoft Windows]]. The game is based on and was developed alongside the LEGO theme [[LEGO Rock Raiders|of the same name]]. Its setting is on an alien planet that a team of LEGO minifigures called Rock Raiders are stranded around after their spaceship was badly damaged. The player manages the Rock Raiders in a series of missions that take place in the caverns of the planet. Gameplay heavily revolves around mining and collecting resources that can be used to construct buildings and vehicles to further aid the player. The goal of most missions, and of the game overall, is to collect crystals the Rock Raiders need to power their spaceship. The game features many LEGO models from the LEGO Rock Raiders construction sets released earlier in 1999, as well as original ones.
