My full review and case study on the game:
Just skip the PS1 games. The EU and NA versions are completely different (I go into more depth why in the video) but it's enough to know they're both equally awful for different reasons.
Certain aspects hold up today, and certain aspects definitely don't. I would nonetheless recommend the game to fans of old RTS games as nothing since has quite replicated the way Rock Raiders emphasises building and exploration over combat. Anyone checking it out will find the AI is awful compared to both their childhood memories, and its contemporaries (it came out at the same time as Age of Empires 2!) but it's charming and something very different from the cookie-cutter Lego games that came after.
