LEGO Alpha Team is a puzzle game released for Microsoft Windows and Game Boy Color in 2000. The game follows a team of secret agents and their talking TV screen, TeeVee, as they stop the plans of their nemesis, Evil Ogel.
At the main menu, the player has the option to play through the story mode or to replay single missions from the game. The game recieved positive to mixed reviews upon release.
Plot[]
The game starts off in the Alpha Team headquarters where TeeVee informs the player that Ogel has created Evil Orbs which turn whoever gets close to them into his mindless slaves. The Alpha Team had spread out across the globe to find the Orb manufacturing plants, only to be captured by Ogel and his cronies. Only the team leader, Dash was able to escape and now requires the player's help to free the rest of the Alpha Team, destroy the Orb manufacturing plants and stop Ogel once and for all.
The game itself is played by an isometric viewpoint with the player placing down direction tiles, staircases, slides and trampolines to help guide the Alpha Team to plungers that unlock the door to the next level. When moving objects around, TeeVee can give a limited number of hints per level if the player is stuck.
As the game progresses, Dash rescues his fellow team members and gains access to new equipment the player can use such as explosive carts, laser guiding mirrors and ropes. Obstacles the player will face are Ogel's mind controlled workers who will attack if an Alpha Team member gets too close and pits they'll fall in if the player messes up setting up a route for them.
In the end, Ogel is defeated and his orbs cease production, his lair is destroyed and the team all celebrates with a dance party as the credits roll.

Trivia[]
- The game was originally titled Lego Logic and was to feature a handful of random characters with different jobs. The characters were then changed to the Alpha Team.
- The Alpha Team also had three flash games that were once playable on the Lego website.
- Flex does not appear in Tug Team, but he is mentioned by TeeVee.
- Explosives are the only type of equipment without their own special Locks.
- TeeVee and Evil Ogel are both played by the same voice actor and are the only characters that speak.
- When Ogel says, "You'll never open my security doors! Your rescue efforts will be futile!" in a rude way, what he means is "How will you open my security doors? Well, you can try moving LEGO pieces around." in a cheerful way.
- Crunch does not appear in the PC version of the Deep Sea Orb Factory, but he appears in its GBC version.
- The GBC missions have limited seconds meaning temporary and briefly and the PC missions have unlimited seconds meaning permanent and forever.
- Adventure mode includes the button that says "Next Mission" at the top and the one that says "Instant Replay!" in the middle.
- Free play mode includes the button that says "Instant Replay!" at the top and the one that says "Select Another Mission" in the middle.
Goofs[]
