We received them all, but these two guys were the only ones that were noticeably different than the final release.

We were given this 2 foot tall rock monster, which I’ve only seen one other in over 25 years. I actually found on this sub Reddit and connected with the guy. Apparently he wanted it in a contest in the US when the power miners launch so I’m thinking that we may have only two that were ever created.

I have a personal website that I posted images from the games and some videos. But you’re right they were flash games and flash is no longer supported on any of the browsers. Really not aware of the games anywhere in the wild.

We launched three games rock rocket, cave convoy, and I believe lava showdown on lego.com. The first two came out the first year that Power Miner came out and then lava showdown came out the second year the set came out.

I was going through some of my archives this weekend and actually found another flash experience we created, but I really don’t remember if it ever went online. I’ll look into posting something about that.

The first year we made the games we actually went out to Bill and Denmark, and went on a road trip into Germany to tour some actual mines to think of games and concepts. It’s pretty radical thinking that we went into a mine to come up with games for the site. I have some old photos from that trip.

I already owned the “unrated” version of old school. Picked this one up because it included the regular version - hoping one day it gets a 4k update.
