A complete walkthrough of the European (PAL) PlayStation version of _LEGO Rock Raiders,_ a 1999 mining-themed action-strategy game based on the LEGO theme of the same name. This walkthrough covers all 21 one-player levels and all 18 two-player levels.

North American (NTSC-U/C) PlayStation version: youtu.be/8gMpisv-FSE
Windows PC version: youtu.be/2jQ93-cdJeY

Gold medals are achieved in all 39 levels.
In total: 107 green energy crystals, 98 red energy crystals, and 19 lost Rock Raiders were collected in one-player mode; and 119 green energy crystals, 68 red energy crystals, and 28 lost Rock Raiders were collected in two-player mode (226 green crystals, 166 red crystals, and 47 Rock Raiders total).
Most of the two player levels were done by immediately teleporting the second player out and completing it with just player one. However, Hop To It! was impossible to complete with only one player, so I had to control both for just that level.

This version of the game is notably different from the Windows version. It was originally supposed to be a port, but LEGO Media decided that a real-time strategy game would not sell well on PlayStation, and made Data Design Interactive redo the entire game in only six months (hence its low quality). The game was also initially rejected by Sony of America, leading to the North American version having several more months of development, including entirely new levels by Gameworld Seven Ltd.
The files from the PAL version of the game are dated August 1999, while the files from the NTSC version's are dated February 2000.

Emulated using DuckStation. Internal Resolution set to 3x; Aspect Ratio set to PAR 1:1; Crop set to All Borders; True Color Rendering and Geometry/Culling/Texture Correction enabled.
Revision 1 of the game was used.

Recorded at 1152x768 resolution (game originally 384x256), 50fps. This video has been upscaled to 1080p to fit Youtube's allowed resolutions, and to improve its quality due to Youtube's terrible compression (please Youtube use higher bitrates for videos).
