There are two distinct LEGO Alpha Team games. Strategies differ:
1. LEGO Alpha Team (2003, PC/GBA) – Action/Strategy
Core Loop: Deploy agents (Dash, Radia, Charge, Cam, Flex) with unique tools to solve environmental puzzles and defeat Ogel's drones.
Key Tactics: Switch agents constantly (Tab/Select). Use Dash's drill for walls, Radia's laser for fuses, Charge's strength for crates, Cam's grapple for heights, Flex's stretch for gaps.
Collectibles: Blue LEGO bricks unlock bonus levels. Find all in each mission.
Bosses: Learn patterns; usually require specific agent combos.
2. LEGO Alpha Team: The Video Game (2005, PC) – Puzzle/Adventure
Focus: Single-agent puzzle rooms. Use gadgets (freeze ray, shrink ray, etc.) in sequence.
Progression: Linear hub → themed worlds (Ice, Jungle, Volcano, Space).
Hints: Talk to NPCs; they give explicit clues. Examine every interactive object.
