Play the game that introduced Lara Croft to the world. The original Tomb Raider begins just as Lara Croft, an aristocrat just out of finishing school and on her way to marry into even greater wealth, has been involved in a plane crash. After quickly gathering her wits and freeing herself from the wreckage, Lara begins to explore her newly found Himalayan territory. She soon realizes that life's simplest, most savage adventures fulfill her in a way that her prior life never did. She sets out to explore all that is unknown and undiscovered. With the help of her family's money, she continues her exploration even after the civilized world has located her. Join Lara as she explores four ancient civilizations in 15 3-D environments. She will visit Vilcabamba, a lost Peruvian city that flourished for hundreds of years; Labyrinth, a Grecian city full of lions, alligators, and crazed monkeys to battle; the Great Pyramids of Egypt; and the mysterious land of Atlantis.

Tomb Raider: A new classic
| Author's Rating: |
|
Pros: Great graphics, huge challenge
Cons: None
Tomb Raider has done a lot of things since it was released back in 1996 (man it was that long ago?). With others like it, it has helped define a new generation of games that don't have to be cutesy to be good.*
It has brought the 3D adventure the proper respect it deserves. Instead of just being considered not good enough to be a first person shooter, these games are about more than just blasting everything you see.
And that's where Tomb Raider hits the high points. It's more than just a mindless shooter. You have to think, and solve puzzles. The challenge level is way up there, and who doesn't love a good challenge? The graphics are incredible, and even now, 4 years, they've held up very well. 4 years in the video game is ancient history. The play control is smooth, regardless of whether you use a joystick, gamepad, or the keyboard.
So give Tomb Raider a go, and see what a classic game is supposed to look like.
* And please don't take this to mean I'm one of those bloodthirsty game players. I love the Mario games, and Sonic, and Donkey Kong. But really, all of these "mascot" games are making me sick.
