Line 3:
''[[LEGO Rock Raiders]]'' was a 1999 [[LEGO]] [[LEGO Themes|theme]] based around [[Asteroid Miners|mining on an alien planet]] for [[Power Crystal|Power Crystals]], sporting fifteen sets featuring mining vehicles, other craft, minifigure packs, and a large base set. What it is best remembered for, though, is its two very different tie-in games, one for the PC and one for the [[PlayStation]]. Accompanying the games and toys were nine mini-comics, several other comic appearances in LEGO-related magazines, and three young reader books.
The L.M.S. Explorer, a [[Cool Starship]] tasked with observing and exploring uncharted planets, was damaged by an asteroid field and caught by a wormhole on its voyage back to Earth, and was warped into another galaxy and left crippled and low on fuel. The ship's scanners were still operational, and picked up a nearby planet in the solar system, dubbed Planet U, that was rich in [[Green Rocks|Energy Crystals]] which could be used to restore

Line 101 ⟶ 103:
* [[Frickin' Laser Beams]]: Laser beam powercells look more like bolts of plasma. Then there are the big "lasers", which can even blow up walls (also they are worthless).
* [[Game Breaking Bug|Game Breaking Oversight]]: It is impossible to get over 50% on Run the Gauntlet. Research has discovered that the reason is becuase the rewards section for that level is programed to need 40 Energy Crystals. [[Fridge Logic|Despite the fact that that level doesn't even have a crystal/ore map]]. Because of this, it is impossible to get the [[100% Completion]] ending (not that some of the insane level requirements for that score didn't make it impossible already).
* [[Game Mod]]: A nice little overhaul called Baz's Mod has been released. It makes all the levels MUCH HARDER. [https://web.archive.org/web/20100728172237/http://www.rockraidersunited.org/wiki/index.php?title=Rock_Raider_PC_Mods Many other overhauls] are in progress as well. That aside, this game has been modded more than any other LEGO game.
* [[Guide Dang It]]: The third-to-last mission, Back to Basics, has Slimy Slugs respawn endlessly until you either complete or fail the level, which of course makes your mission of collecting forty-five energy crystal nigh-impossible. What the game ''doesn't'' tell you is that the slugs don't start spawning until you've collected about eleven crystals, which means all you have to do is disable the "collect crystals" priority before you get too many, wait until you find a large collection of crystals in one area, build a Tool Store next to them and turning the crystal collectiong back on.
** In the whole game, Chief only tells you ''three times'' about the monsters in that mission, the other times leaving them to be a nasty surprise. Oh, and one of those three times is a [[Blatant Lies|blatant lie]].
