I was a kid playing this, eating biscuits and having so much fun...all of the sudden I am a 37 years old dude with a lot of problems and no fun at all. Time flies so fast...
Swan dive off a cliff, Lara crunches into a pile of broken bones, and then you reward your savagery with a Jaffa Cake? 😂 I’m having flashbacks now. Tbf I’d only do that when I couldn’t figure out where to go and thought to myself “f**k this I’m putting on MGS or Resi Evil”
This game felt awesome back in the days but honestly it was impossible to complete without a guide. It's full of situations where you just can't understand where you are supposed to go or what you are supposed to do. This makes you play-through really impressive.
I think Tomb Raider had a symbiotic relationship with the magazine publishers. They would get great hype and reviews because the magazines new that every Tomb Raider release would result in huge sales for walkthrough editions
Games were different back then, gamers were too. It wasn't a big deal if you spent a half hour figuring out what to do, it was part of the fun. But now every game is designed in a way that holds your hand. Hell, just look at how WoW has changed since 2004 to see a clear example. It's not necessarily a bad thing but it definitely removes a part of what made games fun. Also gamers do NOT like to have their time wasted nowadays, if a game isn't fun or too hard they just quit playing. Not that that's a bad thing either, there's too many good games to play to waste it on something you're not enjoying. I was definitely too young for tomb raider when I first played. It was the first one when it came out and I was like 4 or something, I got stuck on one level in a tomb and could never figure it out so every once and a while I'd boot it up and run around for a bit then play Spyro.
@@beeman4266 me too. I didn't ever manage to pass the first level. I just used cheats to go to different levels and watch cutscenes or walk around till I got stuck. And the game had a system where you would get appropriate weapons as you progressed in the game, so level-skipping cheats would leave you as a sitting duck
@@beeman4266 you touched a few interesting points: I'll add that the more a game is based on narrative, the more action options (different ways to interact with the world) you have and the bigger the world is, the more it will need to hold your hand. Think about quests in a typical action RPG: you have to go from point A to point B to perform a very specific action in a massive open world. If the game didn't hold your hand, you'd never be able to figure out yourself where to go and what to do. While in a game like classic Tomb Raider, you have a labyrinthine level design for sure, but still limited in its extension, controlled and somewhat linear. Moreover, you have no quests and the narrative develops with just a cutscene at the end of some levels. The interaction options you have with the environment never change, anytime you press a button you will always perform the same action, so you don't need guidance, and figuring out where to go is basically the essence of the gameplay, so it wouldn't make sense if the game told you that. Games like these are no longer made as we developed technologies that allow us much more complex gameplay experiences. The problem is that those more complex experiences are not necessarily more fun. Most of the time, for me they aren't, and I still consider the simplistic classic Tomb Raider the most engaging games I've ever played. They're still unbeaten as my all time favorite after 25 years. It's so damn true: younger gamers have no patience for a game that doesn't trigger them with frequent action scenes, shootings/fights, dialogues and cutscenes. They feel them as boring, as they lack content and as time wasters. They don't get that the essence of the game is exactly in that slower pace and silent approach, and that you're not wasting your time when trying to figure out what to do but that's part of the game. It's not strange that a modern game that many people have no patience for is Elden Ring. That's not only for the fight difficulty, that's also because it's very close to older games like classic Tomb Raider in many aspects: silent, slower, not scripted and not guided at all, although it's a massive open world. Why can it afford to do that? Because it's not narrative based. It's lore based, which is very different. And therefore it doesn't give you specific missions to complete in a specific way, but just tells you "go out and find your way through this world", as classic Tomb Raider did. And this aspect makes it the modern game which exploration and atmosphere I've enjoyed the most, although I'm not a fan of its combat difficulty.
My dad and I used to play this together. I was like 8 or 9. He directed Lara with the keywords arrows and I was in charge of jumping with the space bar and shooting. We played like this until Last Revelation. I'm 30 now but I will never forget those times. I love my parents, both of them made my childhood a nice memory, despite the hardships we went through, they always had time for me. I wish to be as good, if not better, when I become a mom myself. Tomb Raider will become part of my future children's childhood too... Until Last Revelation, the game became insufferable for me from Angel of Darkness forward.
Worry not, you will be a great mother! Just do what your parents did, it's easy! I had your same fears, but now i have a 7 years daughter next to me when i'm playing games, yeah she is a little suffocating sometimes putting allot of questions and cracking chips in to my ear, but haveing her next to me when we start a new adventure makes gameing great again!
@@roo2385 You know this is a videogame, right? And it started out mainly with exploration as a narrative? But maybe you're too young to remember your first hours back in 1996, when it first released and inspired a new genrte of gaming..... or you just try to be ironic..... but that fails as well.

My father used to play this when I was a little kid. I was too scared to play so I helped him saving the game 💕💕 It felt like a sort of adventurous fairly tale where I could ask my father to go anywhere I wanted (and possibly look away if I got scared) 😂😂
+1 the memories. I still remember the areas - I love the coastal level. The guy without the leg, the swamps and dinosaurs scared the living hell out of me
I turn 15 on august 2nd and tomb raider 3 was the first game i played in my life, my moms and my own favourite till this day. I have the 1-5 games on steam, and tomb raider 2,3 and 5 on an emulator on my phone. It actually hurts when im playing it at school and my friends say they never heard of the classic tomb raider, i love it more than most modern games today and especially more than the rebooted games.Tomb Raider is along with Kingdom Hearts my favourite game of all time. I wish i could get a 3 remaster
When I was a kid a play this game my entire childhood and my teenage and tbh right now I play it some times just because I’m old and nothing will ever be like before, and I’m here to say that I’m proud of you, to play this classics games, because i think the best games are the old one’s, and I want to say to you, enjoy ur childhood and when u became a teen, because times flies really fast, I still remember when I play this, and I had to go to school or my breakfasts as a hotcakes with chocolate and no worries in my life, and I feel like it was a week ago, so.. enjoy it
What I find interesting about this game is how different the PlayStation and PC versions are in terms of difficulty. I played this on PlayStation from the age of 10 to my teens and I am ashamed to admit I never completed it without cheats. It was just so frigging dark and the save system was so punishing, you spent most of your time backtracking across half the levels after your endless sudden deaths from traps you COULD NOT SEE. Even with the official strategy guide I don't think I ever made it through London without cheating. I remember being in tears of frustration on the second level!!! Then many years later I played it on PC and my god it was like the sun came out. Turning up the brightness and unlimited saves, it went from being difficult and COMPLETELY frustrating to difficult but actually fun. Now age 32 I've completed it on PC so many times I can do Lud's Gate while eating pizza, but I will always have MAD respect for those 90s kids who actually beat this game on PlayStation back in the day. God, that version was unforgiving 🤣
That game was wayyyy more difficult than all the TR games together... I've never cheated except that one.... I'm 43 and I don't remember any of it, except the 3 first level... That fellow here have my respect...
I completed them without cheats, so satisfying doing it. you now have me interested in trying it again on PC. I like modern games but the original TR series will always be my favorite games.
Yes!!! OMG dude, TR3 takes me back to 1st grade! Even though I would have to sneak and play my older brothers’ or my dads’ because my mom wouldn’t let me play!
@@arielgrushka yeah she thought it was too violent! 😒😒😂 and wasn’t even that bad really 🤦🏾♂️😩but once I got to be like 8 or 9 she bought me TR Chronicles suprisingly! 😂😂😂 which I really enjoyed! I really wish they would remake this for PS4, PS5 or Xbox
@@Brother_E oh my, I remember when I played Chronicles for the first time. Good days! But Tomb Raider 2 and 3 ought to be my favorite ones out of the whole franchisee
@Mr Creosote That's true. The first time I played Tomb Raider IV, I only had some kind of walkthrough from a video game magazine but most of the time it confused me even more. So yeah all I could do was to figure it out for myself because I also had no Internet 😏
Pure Nostalgia, I played this game back in 1999 when I was 10 yrs old, today I'm 34. Man, those were the golden years...How I wish I could go back with all my memories till date...
I love this game. It's my favorite part of TR, especially the Area51 thing. The music is incredible and reminds me of such a cool time in my childhood. Your gameplay ist very relaxing, thank you so much for this!
This is Tomb Raider, not the ones they come out now… these games was hella hard and we didn’t have google and CZcams for help lol still remember buying the PlayStation book for this game
All i remember from tomb raider 3 is using the skip level cheat code and playing the first 5 minutes of each level until i got stuck and gave up onto the next one 😅 thanks so much for restoring my memories!
My favorite TR. Played so many times, beat so many times as a child… nowadays the game feels odd, outdated. Bad geometry, bad gameplay, bad sound effects, bad level design and especially nothing makes sense at all. But it was great back in the day. Love the memories
The first section with all the switches, Tigers and swimming....You just did that in ten minutes ...took me about two hours play over about three days 🙃 ...I loved the games, but was rubbish at them ...many a wasted hour enjoying playing tomb raider....Wish I was back there now ...
WOW when we was kids we thought the graphics was out of this world but watching theses videos i am thinking oh my god the graphics are really bad . Compared to the graphics we have now . But in years to come we will be watching videos of someone playing on the consoles we have now and thinking exactly the same the graphics are really bad lol . Thanks for making these videos it brought back so many memories for me . Who watching in 2022 ME
this reminds me of being a kid and watching my mom spending hours, even days playing these games trying to figure it out. I would even play but give up because it was too hard
Genuinely depressing (but amazing!) watching this player ignore the save crystals and absolutely piss their way through the game, which is one of the hardest I’ve ever played. I never got past the first level without cheats.
We need a remake for this, TR2 and Chronicles on Xbox, PS4 and PS5 ASAP!!! 🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥 If they do that, I will buy them in a heartbeat! Let me tell u guys something, I’ll be 30 in 2 weeks and this right here is bringing back good childhood memories! 😩😩🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 this’ll never get old in my book!
I got this for Christmas 1998 along with NHL 1999. Not the best, but due to this my nostalgic favorite of the TR series. To be honest, I found this game really hard, like the design of the levels made it really hard for me to figure out what exactly should I do next. So I mostly just played around in different levels, skipped through, watched the cutscenes and enjoyed the exploration, atmosphere, etc. But I spent hours and hours doing this, just having fun with it. Nice memories. Judging by the comments below, I'd like to know how many people actually finished the game on their own. Because IMO it seems TR3 is one of those games everyone at the time played, it sold well due to the brand and Lara, but really, not many people actually finished the game or enjoyed it that much.
I finished it as a kid, but I certainly needed a guide. It truly was difficult to figure out how to progress at certain points. I still loved it though.
I had to use the guide once or twice as a kid but for the most part I finished it myself and spent 1000s of hours replaying certain levels to just explore and find different glitches.
Played this on the PS1. Audio didn't sync in real-time cutscenes, especially at that first Level. But still loved that game. Took quite a bit of time to beat it because it was a fairly difficult game, especially when figuring out when to use those save crystals.
My copy is a Region 1 original for the PS1, which still works but I never got around to playing it to completion with my PS3, so my experience was from booting it on a PS1. Even the official PSM mentioned about TR3 being full of bugs.
ahhh the days when 25-30 fps was playable when games were better in single player and could be replayed now days what the fuck is going on with gaming now
As someone who played an asston of TR I have to admire these skills. The name of the game is precision and you fit the bill almost flawlessly, in spite of shit camera angles and wonky ledge heights and everything. Holy balls youre good!
Difficult but not too difficult to observe. If you gaze at the center of any wall blocks, the movable ones have clearly defined square-shaped joints at the mid sections.
I played Tomb Raider 3 on PC and gave up on London due to level difficulty, however I enjoy watching playthrough of this game because it reminds me how much fun I had playing it.
This game was extremely difficult mainly due to unintuitivd and unfriendly level designs. I didnt enjoy playing it unlike TR2 which I played over again several times
@@homorockerbloguero5079 that's why this one is my favorite out of all of them. Nowadays games hold your hand to the T. I appreciate what Shadow of the Tomb Raider did with the custom difficulty options.
Those ladders, movable blocks were very subtle, almost the same as non interacted object. This is a hard game! I haven't played this game before, I was really enjoy I and II meantime lots of suffer, thousands of retry...
Had no idea what I was supposed to be doing when I played this as a kid. I found a level skip cheat and used it on every level til I finished the game.
I spent hours to reach 20 Min of this gameplay. That was about 20 years ago. I could just killed the first six arm beast. After that, I couldn't get any further. But I thought i 've played about 80% of the game. But it was only 5 %. LOL. Tomb Raider 3 was one of the best games I've ever played.
One of the things game developers fail to realize as they continue to produce the latest games is that a huge part of Lara’s draw on top of how challenging the game was is her slick sex appeal and all around coolness. It really is the female equivalent of James Bond. People say oh it’s so weird how she’s doing this things in basically a bikini but Bond is doing some crazy things in a tuxedo 90 percent of the time
I was a kid playing this, eating biscuits and having so much fun...all of the sudden I am a 37 years old dude with a lot of problems and no fun at all. Time flies so fast...
I can relate to this. 😞

Thanks for making these videos it brought back so many memories for me . Who watching in 2022 ME
Im so glad i discovered your game plays on here ive been catching up with them all week! They take me back to an easier time in life lol
this reminds me of being a kid and watching my mom spending hours, even days playing these games trying to figure it out. I would even play but give up because it was too hard
the 90's...boybands, girlbands, videogames like this at home, no smartphones just phones. Easier life❤
Thanks a lot for this amazing walkthrough!!
Genuinely depressing (but amazing!) watching this player ignore the save crystals and absolutely piss their way through the game, which is one of the hardest I’ve ever played. I never got past the first level without cheats.
I’m convinced whoever is playing this is a robot
I used to spend so much time on the Nevada Desert level. One of my all time favourites alongside Area 51
My old brother always got the new tomb raider games for his birthday, miss these times so much 😭
For all its simple graphics by today's standards, it still remains an intelligent game and stands the test of time in that regard
controls are very bad
The first TR game I played out of the franchise...will always be my favorite despite the difficulty and the layout being confusing to figure out.
Started playing Tomb Raider at very young age (5yo), soon 2 decades of playing Tomb Raider games, time flies
God i miss my childhood man :(
This game was tough as a little kid lol
For some reason as a kid I always thought the ponytail animations were really cool.
This is the third Tomb Raider video of yours that I've watched. Now I need to buy a ps1 to play my old collection...😁
Or maybe you should use a PS1 emulator like PCSX or Emurayden ;)
Duckstation for android or pc is much better
I played and beat tomb raider 1 and 2 on my android phone 📱 through emulation and now playing this one
@@kevintjeuh8888 I prefer epsxe on android for certain reasons
I was 15 when I played Tomb Raider 3, I'm turning 36 next month.
Oof.
Played this when i was 8, this and metal gear solid 1 are so nostalgic to me
I rather play this than the new crap games today.. I mean 100+ gb of crap when you can have this beautiful art instead. You have a new sub!
We need a remake for this, TR2 and Chronicles on Xbox, PS4 and PS5 ASAP!!! 🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥 If they do that, I will buy them in a heartbeat! Let me tell u guys something, I’ll be 30 in 2 weeks and this right here is bringing back good childhood memories! 😩😩🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 this’ll never get old in my book!
I got this for Christmas 1998 along with NHL 1999. Not the best, but due to this my nostalgic favorite of the TR series. To be honest, I found this game really hard, like the design of the levels made it really hard for me to figure out what exactly should I do next. So I mostly just played around in different levels, skipped through, watched the cutscenes and enjoyed the exploration, atmosphere, etc. But I spent hours and hours doing this, just having fun with it. Nice memories.
Judging by the comments below, I'd like to know how many people actually finished the game on their own. Because IMO it seems TR3 is one of those games everyone at the time played, it sold well due to the brand and Lara, but really, not many people actually finished the game or enjoyed it that much.
I finished it as a kid, but I certainly needed a guide. It truly was difficult to figure out how to progress at certain points. I still loved it though.
I had to use the guide once or twice as a kid but for the most part I finished it myself and spent 1000s of hours replaying certain levels to just explore and find different glitches.
Excellent Play through! ..Smoothly Done. Such a pleasure to watch. Thank you.
Thanks for that :) you did a really great playthrough!
I remember this one as a 14 year old. Christmas 1998. Tomb Raider III and some Led Zeppelin 1 in the back! Those were the good ol' days.
Played this on the PS1. Audio didn't sync in real-time cutscenes, especially at that first Level. But still loved that game. Took quite a bit of time to beat it because it was a fairly difficult game, especially when figuring out when to use those save crystals.
Because you didn’t have the genuine game disc but a crappy burned disc 💿
My copy is a Region 1 original for the PS1, which still works but I never got around to playing it to completion with my PS3, so my experience was from booting it on a PS1. Even the official PSM mentioned about TR3 being full of bugs.
Yea this game is incredibly deep and complex. This one and 1 and 2 were all amazing games.
Omg could be my nostalgia talking, but TR3 is the best TR imo - especially enjoyed the Manor in this version
Definitely the best manor version. I used to think this was the best until I played TR4.
They must have spent a fortune on the in-game music.
One of the first games i started playing as a kid, im 27 now and this is still one of the best games ever made hands down
ahhh the days when 25-30 fps was playable when games were better in single player and could be replayed now days what the fuck is going on with gaming now
My high school years were spent trying to figure out the puzzles. There was no walk through and no Google. 🤣 I now realize why my grades dropped.
🤣🤣🤣
As someone who played an asston of TR I have to admire these skills. The name of the game is precision and you fit the bill almost flawlessly, in spite of shit camera angles and wonky ledge heights and everything. Holy balls youre good!
21:20 and on... How the heck were we supposed to know that back in 1998?!
I know right
back then puzzle/adventure games were not holding gamers' hands, we would write down all the steps sometimes. Tomb Raider isn't like this anymore
Difficult but not too difficult to observe. If you gaze at the center of any wall blocks, the movable ones have clearly defined square-shaped joints at the mid sections.
Thank you for this playthrough. Much appreciated.
Great days! - Many thanks for the playthrough to rekindle better times !
Bien jugado! Mi primer juego en PSX con 8 años. Puedes imaginar lo tremendamente difícil que me resultó.
Fuimos dos entonces Bro
a mi me estrezaba y me daba unos sustos cuando de golpe aparecian los enemigoa brincaba jajaja
Yoo it’s about Time they remake those games like that would be so Iconic😭 but they should do it right without cutting content
WHOA! Lara has stormed into Area 51 without getting shot to death 😃
3:13:25 TR soundtrack is a masterpiece for real omg
Beautiful
Glad I never got to Aldwych that statue in the jungle level was scary enough
I spend a lot of time without playing this because the jungle statues scared me lol
The only video game series that Hooked me!
This game is very tough, so huge props to you for completing it :)
Ah back when it was tomb raider,
The recent games are more like tomb whinger.
I’m 74 and still enjoy TR, especially the earlier ones - still trying to get a PS5…
So many fond memories. Epic character, engaging games. Great gameplay btw. Would have been dead sooooo many times 🤣🤣🤣
During the game she has incredible balance and agility, but in the cut scenes between levels, she's about as graceful as a drunken baby Giraffe.
Nobodies perfect ? 😅
"a drunken baby Giraffe" I just died from suffocation 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jeesus this sound at the beginning of the eidos interactive. i love it
I love the sound effects. I can sleep while playing this video
I played Tomb Raider 3 on PC and gave up on London due to level difficulty, however I enjoy watching playthrough of this game because it reminds me how much fun I had playing it.
3:46 Plumbob. Love it
Tomb Raider III will always be my favourite one
Tomb Raider II and III are the best of entire serie
My top three will always be: TR3, TR2 & TR: Underworld.
I never got passed the jungle 🙈
This game was extremely difficult mainly due to unintuitivd and unfriendly level designs. I didnt enjoy playing it unlike TR2 which I played over again several times
It was very hard
@@homorockerbloguero5079 that's why this one is my favorite out of all of them. Nowadays games hold your hand to the T. I appreciate what Shadow of the Tomb Raider did with the custom difficulty options.
@@GamerPaul95 big difference between challenging difficulty and horrendous design
@@kitosjek9541 that's your opinion. I respect it. 🙏
Those ladders, movable blocks were very subtle, almost the same as non interacted object. This is a hard game! I haven't played this game before, I was really enjoy I and II meantime lots of suffer, thousands of retry...
I heard an argument that these games were just a front for selling strategy guides, and I don't know if I can refute that.
man time flys... i remember watching my dad play this when i was 9 years old eating strawberry cake.. cozy memories.
I remember going to funco land with my dad to buy a playstation and TR3 back in 98'. Damn I wish I could go back!😂
The nostalgia on this is something else
I still play this now (it's that good)
I grew up on ps1 tomb raiders this one was my favourite ❤
The best Tomb Raider from PS1 era
3:30 Yup... that's about as far as I ever got in Tomb Raider 3, my all-time favourite mansion simulator!
Had no idea what I was supposed to be doing when I played this as a kid. I found a level skip cheat and used it on every level til I finished the game.
The memories of playing this game including tomb raider 2 thank you that's all I can say 💜💜💜💜💜
One of the most difficult game in psp1
this was actually a pretty damm hard game. tomb raider 1,2 and the last revelation were jokes compared to 3
Nice memory ❤i was so young playing this eating sandwitch and jus 🥤
My parents played this and I'd just watch - I miss the 90s as a kid.
Omg
You made it look like an easy game.... Me and my older brothers couldn't pass jungle and temple back then 😭
Hoooly sh*** that video give me some old times vibes....i played it as a kid too and now im 38...
Played the Mansion level and Temple Ruins level when we got a Pentium 3 computer back in 98 good times
I spent hours to reach 20 Min of this gameplay. That was about 20 years ago. I could just killed the first six arm beast. After that, I couldn't get any further. But I thought i 've played about 80% of the game. But it was only 5 %. LOL. Tomb Raider 3 was one of the best games I've ever played.
Omg I remember playing this with my older sister, because she was a big fan of Lara 😂
To smoke a joint and watch you play, is just perfect!!! 😀
One of the things game developers fail to realize as they continue to produce the latest games is that a huge part of Lara’s draw on top of how challenging the game was is her slick sex appeal and all around coolness. It really is the female equivalent of James Bond. People say oh it’s so weird how she’s doing this things in basically a bikini but Bond is doing some crazy things in a tuxedo 90 percent of the time
