I never got to play the oldest ones... what were they like?

And that volcano was part of another year, too... I was pretty sure that it was an extraplanetary volcano and part of the Space theme, though that might be wrong.

I have all the original sets, it seems none of them were in space. If so, Ogel has a new force on his side; the lack of oxygen. None of the characters had space gear execpt Flex in one set and Ogel (obviously), and Flex was supposed to be scuba-diving. The first Alpha team was all about finding Mind-Conrol Orbs and destroying them, and later locating Ogel's base inside an island volcano.

The first games were pretty bad; each character on Alpha Team had one. The Deep Sea games, however, were more entertaining. One, called "Darkness Lurks Below", was one puzzle after another with short scenes explaining the story. in the other, "Evil Music", you guided either Dash or Cam through Ogel's Volcano base trying to stop his weather mechine. There were a few puzzles here and also assembly games (they give you a heap of parts, you build something specific), but for the most part you were running through underground tunnels avoiding Skeleton Drones and Mind-Control Orbs.

Well, I always thought that this was a Space-themed set, but I guess not...

Those games sound pretty good... is there anywhere to play them these days?

-|W|G|-

Head Librarian & Game Master Posts : 3659

The original lame ones, one for each character, yes. The onther two may be found on LEGO's site under "games", but may not, I haven't checked.

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

I've checked and re-checked over the years and they seem to be gone...

I find that as extreme dedication.

~Ghost~

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

That's probably true. Once I found out more about it and got a set or two, Alpha Team became one of my favorite types of LEGO.

-|W|G|-

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

No dedication like the Extreme Kind.

And no space?

Baw, that's makes me sad.

~A~

Head Librarian & Game Master Posts : 3659

Still, it would be a good next step. Why go through all the copyright paperwork and theme research when you can just bring back a pre-copyrighted, well-researched, successfull theme?

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

Not a bad idea, actually.

~A~

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

It's true, very true. Plus with all the loose ends and possible remaining fans, it might work very nicely, maybe more than "Agents".

-|W|G|-

Head Librarian & Game Master Posts : 3659

I wonder which was more popular: Alpha Team or Agents? One was undoubtably better selling than the other, and since Agents appears to be dicontinued (I think) Perhpas Alpha Team is still a posibilty.

Fall of the Robot Posts : 97

I think Ogel left and died in space.

Happy

Ghost out-

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

In other words, I hope not.

Head Librarian & Game Master Posts : 3659

Ah, but Ogel's helmet allows him to breathe in oxygen-less areas, such as under the sea[/sabastian].

Plus, he has the ability to create evil lairs with vast amounts of technology in virtually any enviornment. After all, at the end of the orginal Alpha Team, his rocket crashed into the ocean. One year later, he had not only survived under water, but had taken over the entire sea floor. There was no connection between Deep Freeze and Deep Sea (although Ogel escaped in his sub, that has nothing to do with ice), but he still might be builing an evil asteriod base or something.

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

Ooh, maybe we'll finally get to see Space Alpha Team.

-|W|G|-

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

OH NO

SPACE POLICE CROSS-OVER

~A~

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

Slightly off-topic, but that new LEGO movie was like the biggest LEGO crossover ever. Town, Space Police, Castle, Power Miners...

-|W|G|-

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

Lol.

Never heard of it.

~A~

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

You haven't heard of The Adventures of Clutch Powers?

-|W|G|-

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

No.

~A~

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

Here's the link. But seriously, it's advertised on every 2010 LEGO box.

-|W|G|-

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

Still, peh.

ANYWAYS BACK TO ALPHA TEAM

Where does he get all those skele-drones?

~A~

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

I thought he just turned normal people into drones. *shrug*

-|W|G|-

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

Lol

Where'd he get the people?

~A~

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

Uh... from wherever in the world he went?

-|W|G|-

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

So he's very good at kidnapping.

~A~

Head Librarian & Game Master Posts : 3659

His mind control orbs are bombs. He flies over a city in his rocket and drops them, and half the city becomes enslaved in one shot.

IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE!

Of course, he could've just bombed Alpha Team and been done with it.

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

...

He's pretty stupid for an evil genius.

~A~

Head Librarian & Game Master Posts : 3659

No, Alpha team was just juniorized.

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

Juniorization... The flaw in the plan.

But at least Ogel was a fair villain otherwise.

-|W|G|-

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

That's true.

(and the big ice lair had good pieces)

~A~

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

And of course I never got it. *facepalm*

I remember really wanting that "Ogel's Command Centre" from the first wave of Alpha Team, though, and I never got that either. *double *facepalm*

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

The giant undersea base, right?

~A~

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

The earlier one, actually, with the giant skull and stuff.

-|W|G|-

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

Oh yeah!

I think I remember that one.

It was pretty cool.

~A~

Oh, I have that. But I really wanted the Mission Deep Sea one. Somebody bought the wrong one for me, XD.

-Sykura

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

AF: It sure was. Happy

Sykura: Yeah, that one too.

But I can't remember wanting the Deep Sea one quite as much.

-|W|G|-

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

I remember there were octopusses.

~A~

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

I think Ogel rode in the belly of an octopus.

-|W|G|-

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

Well.

That's.

...

Well.

~A~

Head Librarian & Game Master Posts : 3659

IT WAS A SUBMARINE SHAPED LIKE AN OCTAPUS.

...

Actually, my sister's friend's brother bought Ogel's Command Center , and, now that he's off to colledge, I got most of it (but not the base that the center rested on. I can build it completely, but I don't have the base...)

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

Are you sure it wasn't an octopus pretending to be a submarine?

But you're lucky to have gotten the command center (or at least most of it)...

-|W|G|-

Head Librarian & Game Master Posts : 3659

'Twas definatly a submarine. I hope.

As for the command center, the Skeleton Drones where certainly worth it, and I did get several other sets from him, including the Bomb Squad...

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

It had to have been, or Alpha Team would have ended two years early.

Yeah, I actually don't have a single normal LEGO skeleton head... a shame. I really should have gotten some Drones or something.

-|W|G|-

Head Librarian & Game Master Posts : 3659

The drones in the original and in Deep Sea were fine, but the Deep Freeze Drones I didn't like. The whole helmet thing I understood in Deep Sea, but why wear helmets in Deep Freeze?

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

Maybe because bones get brittle and shatter if exposed to the cold for long periods?

-|W|G|-

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

Morpheus: 1

Spectral: -3

I actually liked the helmets.
They were a light blue color-ish.

~A~

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

I liked them too... I mean, they're kind of weird helmets for the ice, yes, but they had some amount of aesthetic appeal. Ogel's mutated ugly speeder had trans-medium-blue chainsaws, too, so that's another plus.

YAY FOR CHAINSAWS
