  • So as a Tomb raider fan, every now and then I’ll notice a reference or easter egg relating to Lara croft, which isn’t too surprising given that she is a gaming icon. I decided to make a video showing every single tomb raider reference I could find!

      @892 I wasn't being literal. AOD was the last game to feature Classic Lara, before Crystal Dynamics took over and soft-rebooted the series with Legend, and then the full rebooted version from 2013-now that we're currently stuck with.

    The Discworld Noir spinoff adventure game had a pastiche of Lara. Who went by the name 'Laredo Cronk'.
    Apparently done at the request of the late Sir Terry Pratchett, who was a fan of the games. His daughter incidentally has written for Tomb Raider.

    A very small possible reference: In the original 1997 top down Grand Theft Auto, your pager would go off with random gags or hints about side missions. One of the gags was "Lara" asking the protagonist to call her in a pager message in the first Liberty City, level another that may make it more obvious outside of the 1997 context, was possibly the same Lara saying she was off to Peru in either the next level or one of the San Andreas levels.

    Other Tomb Raider references in Duke Nukem games:
    * On Duke Nukem: Land of the Babes (made by the same people who made Time to Kill), you can call Lara in one of the phones in the first few stages. She says she got an itch 'only Duke could scratch'.
    * On Total Meltdown, the first level of the Plug N' Pray episode is loosely based on the Peru levels from the first TR game. You can also find Lara's clothes and bearsuits in a secret room.

    You might even not catch some of it on your first playthrough, but it was really great to discover that stuff.
    And sometimes, more than games get referenced.

Toby Gard created Lara Croft; in an era where strong male characters dominated the genre he wanted to make a strong female lead, and he was motivated by the fact that male gamers often picked female characters in fighting games(Virtua Fighter). However, during development someone associated with Eidos did want to change the character to a male, but Gard was against it.

    Being a “Tomb Raider” is a real thing. It’s defined as “A person who opens or steals from (ancient) tombs in order to obtain valuable items or antiquities, typically with the intention of selling them”. I think some of the mentions of the term are just that, and not fully connected to the game series.

    In Worms Clan Wars (Worms Battlegrounds on consoles) the story is told by the character Tara Pinkle who is an obvious parody of Lara.
    And in the original German dub of the Book of Unwritten Tales games, the character Ivo is voiced by Marion von Stengel who was Lara's German voice actress from 1999 up to 2010. In the first trailer for The Book of Unwritten Tales, the characters are wondering what kind of game this will be and what the gameplay will be like and Ivo makes a lot of references to the classic Tomb Raider gameplay elements, including the handstand. This is also in the English version of the trailer (it was used as the launch trailer in other parts of the world), but instead of "handstand" she just says "acrobatic tricks" and obviously this joke is funnier when it basically comes from Lara herself (or at least her voice actress).
