>RTS one themed around that newer mars theme was still there.

Oh shit, I remember that. Dope stuff.

Actually about that RTS Martian game, there seems to be some fansite that has made a version with some bugfixes of that game.

I have also found a collection of old Lego flash games.

Have fun anon.

Stunts is a spinoff and the other isn't the same at all.

They are always good comfy games. Maybe a bit repetitive now but still fun.

>>15471364

>Stunts is a spinoff

How? It's Lego Island 3 in all but name.

>>15471335

Wow, this is the most complete archive I've seen. Nice find, anon.

Lego Rock Raiders is one of the most unique and fun RTS-game of it's generation. That game was really f'n fun on PC.

>>15471442

Rockstar actually owns a "City Stories" trademark so that's probably a reason.

But well LCU is one of the only modern TT-made Lego games I like, most of the shit they make is just so boring. Like I played Lego Incredibles out of curiosity recently simply because I like the movie but I almost fell asleep and I uninstalled it before finishing the first stage.

>>15471442

How good are the sandbox elements?

>>15471102

I spent so much time in the character + car creator that I can sing every single song in the game by heart.

Have they ever disclosed how the building blocks affected your vehicle?

>>15471176

I feel like Lego Racers 2 went to the opposite direction compared to Lego Racers.

>>15472009

I replayed it recently. It's kind of a bitch to get running on new hardware and crashes occasionally. The thing is that the rock raider AI is complete bullshit, you can't directly control them, only give them suggestions. On the longer levels the ai can completely turn off or break forcing you to restart. Wrangling the AI is the only real challenge and gets aggrivating, why cant I just click a raider and click a fucking wall and he goes and mine it. But RR are the best lego sets.

>>15477696

Good but not amazing. There's parkour and urban exploration elements as well as a ton of collectables, but climbing around on stuff is limited to appropriate areas.

However, few things in gaming are more fun than going on a rampage with the powered up color gun

>>15479062

Isn't Lego City Undercover like the Super Hero games without powers? I was going to try it out, but in the end I was pushed back because of that.

>>15479025

I think we rotated that out of our modular stock at Walmart like two years ago, and we still fucking have some on clearance.

Don't forget lego spybotics bois

Also I haven't kept up with lego games at all. Has there been anything decent in the later years? Aside from franchise adaptions all featuring the same gameplay, I've only seen Lego Worlds. Which has the same gameplay for the most part and went through retardo development.

>>15472009

It's a shame we didn't see any other comfy diggan games in the same vein. Also when I replayed it later I gotta say that that second-last level is absolute fucking bullshit and whoever thought that was a good idea is a god damn asshole.

>>15477874

I gotta agree, I found Lego Racers 2 to be disappointing due to the lack of Lego Racers 1-style powerups. The whole level-your-powerup system was pretty neat.

>>15477874

It's basically a 180 on everything Lego Racers did.

From Tracks based on every LEGO theme at the time in collections of 4 to 5 hub worlds that all the races take place on. Which is impressive as I it was one of the first to do so, Test Drive beat it though. Limited only by your imagination and constraints of a chassis to 19 bricks to play with and you get to make one for the story mode per world and can't mix different theme parts. That really brought the sequel down as the car creation in 1 is what really makes it, for me at least (though you could free build and mix and mach parts for multiplayer weirdly, only 19 parts still though).

Also from the upgrade a power up system in 1 to plain old RNG. The Car destruction to the point where you have to run to a repair thing is cool, but you have to be unlucky or stupid to have it happen. The unique bosses in 2 are interesting but I prefer having the race the various champs over 4 races and beating them.

While Lego Racers 2 innovated a lot stuff, it ultimately didn't beat Lego Racers 1 which was kinda meat and potatoes but done to perfection.

We'll never get a LEGO Racers 3 using the LEGO Digital Designer as a base for car building and race around Classic LEGO themes and the newer themes as well. Though since a lot of it is licensed might get a bit awkward. Also enjoy having the song stuck in your head now

Also I'd say try out the Lego Themepark Game if you can, it's a more simple version of RCT, but that's hardly a bad thing.

>>15479435

We'll never get another Lego racisng game simply because TT has exclusivity for Lego games and they've admitted that they can't create good vehicle physics for shit.

Loved the lego games growing up. The Lego Island soundtrack has so many earworm songs. The gameplay hasn't aged well but back in 1997 it was the shit.

Love how chill and cozy this music is.

TL:DR

Lego racers was the best mariokart game that I've ever played. I doubt you can find other players for it, but if you really were devoted to having local co-op on a pc then you could probably mod it.

The movie games are all the same. Buy one if you like the movie and the core game loop. There's no reason to play them all.

>>15471102

Lego Racers 2 nigga

>>15481734

Really? Truth be told you don't need good physics for a Kart Racer. Then again I remember one of the LEGO Star wars games having a fucked up pod racer section so might be for the best.

>>15482967

That kind of shit is the best. Wonder how many other comments like that are in there.

>>15486661

Brick by brick

Suck my dick

No matter how thin

No matter how thick

>>15486711

The reason for that was because LI2 is one of the most remarkably poorly coded games in history.

For instance, almost every single repeated object in this game is a copied file rather than the same object being just placed multiple times. Each level also contains useless crap in its files from other levels that's never used. The most amazing instance of this is probably during the asteroid belt minigame, where there's like 3 or 2 variations of asteroids, but each one is its UNIQUE FILE so the game just loads hundreds of files for each single asteroid you pass. This shit should be taught on courses how not to make games.

>>15487888

Just check out any of their games that feature vehicles to see how well they handle.

>>15471335

Is there any way to download these as .swf files? Right clicking on the filename only let's me save as an html file.

>>15487977 (checked)

Lego Racers 1 has a PC port, buy you need to download a modified installer to get it running on modern OS, it actually runs pretty great

>>15487916

>each one is its UNIQUE FILE so the game just loads hundreds of files for each single asteroid you pass.

Amazing. It's a wonder that the loading screens were the biggest problem with it.

>>15488072

disregard this I suck dicks

I thought this was so cool.

>>15487977

tbh wine works pretty well.

>>15471389

Is it actually or are you just saying that? Because I unironically wanted a Lego Island 3 for years.

To this day I don't quite understand why the cucks that own LEGO never financed their own Minecraft/Kerbal game and the kiked everyone with DLC. It's downright bizarre to own an IP that is both incredibly popular and so well suited to autism simulators and then do nothing with it.

Are there any good Lego games on the Vita/PSP?

Might consider emulating that PS1 Lego Racers through Retroarch, but I admit I havent played a single Lego videogame in my life

>>15488220

Except they did make a Minecraft clone, it's called Lego Worlds.

They gave it the same treatment as they do with all their products that don't see enough success; they discontinue it.

It seems that Lego has given up entirely on making new videogames. Everything they've brought out in the last few years is just the same action adventure gameplay, just with a different franchise.

The days of videogames like Lego Island, Racers or Rock Raiders and of flash games like Junkbot, Spybotics just seem to be over.

>>15488258

Keep in mind that back then, games were sometimes significantly different between platforms. Lego was no exception to this, with Lego Rock Raiders having completely different game-play between PC and PS1. Lego Racers 1 seems to be pretty similar though.

>>15488220

Roblox already cornered the autism market by 2007.

>>15488258

>Are there any good Lego games on the Vita/PSP?

No. All the Lego games on the DS/3DS/PSP/Vita are trash. The only post GBA handheld lego game that's worth playing is Lego Star Wars 2 on the DS because of how hilariously broken it is.

>>15488195

It is.

Do a search, he isn't lying.

>>15479435

Shame. Lego Racers legit gave me the chills when fighting RR for the first time when I was a kid.

Lego Themepark Game is cool. Nice to see some Rock Raiders in it too.

>>15491468

>wanting LR2's shitty hubworld

>wanting licensed franchises in lego

shit taste

All Lego needs to do is stop focusing on stupid licensed garbage and actually make their own things with vidya to go along with it.

>>15491468

>with LR2's hubworld

trash

The hubworld was the worst part of LegoRacers 2.

What should be in it's place is tracks based on a wide range of lego sets.
