Lone Ranger mini-game/s from former official website

[Mazin]

Hi folks

Can't find if there's such topic already, and perhaps some Lego games addicts could help me...

When Lego launched the Lone Ranger series, they used to promote it with a mini game, which had a couple of missions and an awesome sountrack. It was rather short, but very cool anyway.

Once the Lone Ranger line was canceled the promoting site was taken down too, and so was the game. Been trying to find it ever since, the game or at least the soundtrack. Asked Lego, asked in different places, nothing, so I gave up after a while. But i guess after so much time passed perhaps something has changed and maybe it resurfaced somewhere?

There's a video with the whole walktrough on Youtube, so i guess it's not entirely forgotten...

Ah, that brings back some memories. I used to play these games quite a bit back in the day, as I was discovering internet, which, to me was a new discovery. I know there is a website which does contain some of the fairly older LEGO web games (I forgot the name of it ), but it doesn't seem to include this game.

Yeah, there used to be plenty of them, quick google and i could find tons of free flash games, etc, mini-Lego games among them, like Indiana Jones, coast guard rescue and some others, but it's harder to find them these days and I've never seen LR between them, hoped it will eventually be thrown into that bunch, after a while, like everything seems to find a way into internet. 

And i need that cause i used it - both game and soundtrack - for mood and inspiration to work on my history&adventure project set in Your very own Lavtia :) Sometimes stuff like that helps to open imagination quite a lot and words write themselves. I liked the LR movie, but to be honest, game was even cooler, as it had this magic childhood dust all over it... even tho i wasn't a kid when i played that  ;)

Polish corsairs fighting Swedes in 1650s during "Deluge", but since Latvia was part of both Poland, and Sweden ( and Courland ) back then there'll be a whole bunch of locals on both sides. Gonna show some latvian places obviously - Riga with Dynamunt, Ventspils, Jelgava, Ilukszta, and will mention some others, like Daugavspils where the main hero will be from, as well as Tobago and Gambia, which obviously aren't part of Latvia, but i guess everyone knows the connection ;)

It's sort of a mixture of pirate movies, classic aventure flicks, action flicks, Indiana Jones, G.I.Joe, all sorts of westerns, Lone Ranger included. And of course with Lego Pirates being a huge source of inspiration. 

Had few sites dedicated to it, but haven't realy blogged much lately, as i focus solely on writing now... and some drawing too ;)

This looks lovely, I like the drawings of those soldiers and ships. Certainly an interesting project. Good luck with that! 

 

Gives me an idea of building a pirate MOC in Tobago's Great Courland Bay. 

 

I am not sure how the connection with Lone Ranger might look like in this, due to Europe in 19th century being a little different from United States.

Well, the reason i came up with this story was because i wanted to see to see on screen or read is a book/comic book on this subject and since there wasn't anything like it available on the martker i had to do it myself. And in order to keep writing i need some inspirational food constantly, so again, since there's nothing realy no intelectuall property on 17 century european history except 3 Muskeeters and perhaps few other things, i get inspired by genres that offer somewhat similar vibes - adventure, duels, all types of great action sequences and awesome locations, like ghost towns or little undefensible outposts that need to be defended, and of course good guys, villains, henchmen, sidekicks, comic reliefs, oneliners, gimmicks etc etc... And westerns typically offer a lot of them :) Quite a lot of movies set in different genres started or got inspired by western or knights of the round table sort of flicks, space operas included, so it's even easier to transition all those western elements to 17 century Europe, just switch revolvers to sabres, cutlasses and one-shot pistols, winchesters to muskets, cowboys to polish nobles, bandits to swedish invaders, indians to cossacks or crimean tartars, add few galleons and it works quite nicely ;)    

And i'm looking forward to see Your moc :)  Preferably with a crab having a cameo, as it was a symbol of Courland's navy :)

I see, yer taking inspiration from all historic media that is available. Are you considering to build some MOCs based on the subject too?

Thank ye! That be a rather good idea for their flag.

Yeah, but my thought was that makign a custom flag would be a bit harder than using a lego crab that's already existing :) But what do i know ;) If You'd be able to do the flag, it would be even cooler :)

Aye, a brick built flag with a crab in the middle wouldn't look so bad.

BTW, i just crashed into this thread about this ship, and i see it's creator used crabs for decorative elements, so i wanted to share it with You as it might be a nice inspiration for Your own vessel :)
