Play Features

Minifigures

Chief is cool and not worth the price.

Write a little about each figure, maybe some of the media-exclusive ones too?

Unique parts

The theme introduces an abundance of unique parts. Many of the parts are large and have been criticized for being "juniorized".

Media

Video games

Main articles: LEGO Rock Raiders (video game) and LEGO Rock Raiders (PlayStation video game)

The Rock Raiders franchise got 2 separate video games: One for PC, and one for PlayStation 1. They featured vastly different gameplay, where the PC game was a resource management RTS game, and the PlayStation game was a third-person action game. Developed by Data Design Interactive and published by LEGO Media International.

PC

The PC game was a RTS-style resouce management game where the player has to complete tasks while fending off hostile creatures and managing environmental dangers.

PlayStation 1

The PlayStation game

Comic books

Each set had comic books! There were some in magazines too.

Story books

Rock Raiders got 3 separate story books.

History

Are those Insectoids? yooo Lego totally doesn't want us to see this!

The Rock Raiders theme began production in 1997 with the codename "Underground". The sets stopped being produced in 2000. They wrote about it in The Ultimate LEGO Book.[3]

Prototypes

RR Prototypes r kewl.

Release

Rock Raiders was commercially okay-ish.

Legacy

Many speculate the Raiders are still Rocking to this day.

LEGO Rock Raiders was succeeded by the incredibly popular BLock Raiders - an absolute marvellous game made by Stewart Green, a legendary computer programmer.
