Rock Raiders
« on: June 03, 2008, 02:47:00 am »

I was playing Lego Rock Raiders today.  I couldn't stop thinking how it is like DF.  It has digging, building, stupid AI, rocks, lava, and rocks, and more rocks.  My real thought is what if RR and DF were combined?  Did I say that there were rocks?

I have. Strange how similar they are. And it's too bad Rock Raiders was so obscure. It didn't help that there wasn't a in-game save function and the missions could get quite long.

The AI in that game rivals every other Ai in sheer idiocy. It's even worse than DF's in my opinion.

I actually had one or two sets. There are lost now, but I remember them as being my favorites. Never heard of the games, though.

I find it disturbing that there's all this anatomical and physiological data on the lego monsters.

What do you expect?  It's LEGO.  They do everything, from anteaters to zebras.
Even Star Wars and Indiana Jones.

That's quite harsh.  Ok, admittedly, the DF dwarves do border on suicidal and do pretty darn stupid things, but come on, deep, deep down in our hearts we all know at least 4 people who would act in the same way.

Me: Larry! What are you doing? There is a gang war going on!
Larry: But somebody dropped a sock! If I don't get it, somebody else will!
Me: Damnit Larry, don't make me pinch your nose again.

I could see that happening.

The OP is so obviously trolling, I'm amazed none of you noticed.

Get a life and stop haunting the forum of a game you don't like.

MyLittlePonyBuiltMyHotRod, this is your first warning. I would like to direct you to read our forum's FAQ and posting guidelines before posting again. Specifically we don't use swear words here, and your picture of Stalin riding a Year3 Limited Edition Starflower inside a German concentration camp was both upsetting and historically inaccurate.
