So here's how it went. I was talking with my friend about GOG.com and I thought to myself "y'know, what would really make GOG a good service is if they brought in LEGO: Rock Raiders", and to find some examples for my friend about the game I went ahead and looked it up...and saw this "Manic Miners" thing, thinking to myself at the moment "woah, someone made a game inspired by Rock Raiders? Cool, what's it look li--"
And then I opened the link and saw this, and my jaw dropped. You are truly a phenomenon. I've been playing this all day. I wasn't ever too good at the original game as a kid, and I want to finally revisit it now and actually finish this game. I've been so sucked into this, my nostalgia is off the charts. I'm still soaking in the tutorials right now (which are really well made, though a few glitches with the message log but no big deal).
I cannot believe that this remake exists, it's both amazingly faithful but immensely transformative. The game is beautiful, like how my memory envisions it, though I know it's not anything like how it looked before. I've wanted to replay this game for years now, and I must thank you for your contribution to bringing my childhood back into my hands. The customization shop is also awesome, so many minifig parts I recognize that I had when I was younger, truly this game is just to cater to us fans of one of the greatest eras of LEGO that ever existed. I'm just thoroughly in love, thank you so so much for this.
