LEGO Rock Raiders is a 1999 real-time strategy video game developed by Data Design Interactive and published by LEGO Media International for Microsoft Windows

Gameplay

LEGO Rock Raiders is a mission-based real-time strategy game with elements of construction simulation.[1][2]

Controls and interface

The game is primarily controlled with the mouse pointer, which can pan the camera around, interact with the virtual world, and manage the game through its interface.[1][3] The player can click on individual units to select them, or click and drag to draw a box that will select any units inside it.[4] Selected units can be directly ordered to perform tasks by clicking where the player wants them to go, or by clicking specific menu icons.[1][5]

Units will automatically perform certain tasks, such as collecting resources and clearing rubble, without any player input.[5]

The in-game mouse pointer features

Hovering the mouse pointer over an object or surface for a brief time will display its name (often with a spoken voice cue identifying it),[6] as well as any additional information such as a vehicle's health or what tools a minifigure is carrying.[7]
