This is the PC version with the "automated fix" patch and the HD remastered cutscenes offered in that patch. While these HD scenes are sometimes smeared out messes, the originals are pure pixel soup on a modern display at modern resolutions. This did come out in 1996, after all.
Playing this was an absolute nostalgia bomb for me. The desolate atmosphere is great.
I'm playing one handed here with keyboard controls. Platforming is fine but combat is a bit (more) awkward. For those unfamiliar with this game, I have little control over the camera and the game likes to manipulate it to show things.
I will be skipping the majority of the secrets, they are nearly universally just extra ammo/health. I had plenty of both by the end.
There are a few edits (~100) here and there to keep it as smooth a viewing experience as possible.
In Palace Midas, I cut after getting all three gold bars to save the minutes it takes to run back to where you use them. I turn Lara to gold as well, for funsies. There are no other notable edits.

25 years ago I would have never imagined I would be watching a tomb raider video on a cell phone and feeling nostalgic
And I guess your phone has more processing power, storage and memory than the device on which it was originally played.
Fr!
@@youngmarwood cough epsxe cough
Dude can you imagine how much shit would have advance 25 years from now??
I just heard some music from next door that reminded me of this, and came to look for it here. I never got all the way through it, but it was wonderfully atmospheric, a real joy to play.
Masterpiece! i still remember thinking my cousin and i were close to the end of the game after playing all weekend at his place and then an additional night at mine, we had rented it and had to take it back. We only got to St Francis's Folly lol! We looked down at that impossible chasm and figured the end must lay at the bottom behind a door... Once i got the game that Christmas i had to break the news to him that we weren't even half way to the end!
We played through 1-3 together over the years, may he rest in peace, cancer took him at the tender age of 25 in 06. This series will always be special to me.
Damn bro.
Sorry for your loss...Always remember the happy memories you had playing it with him. May he rest in peace
My condolences at least you have the memory of this game as your special time together 😰
Thank you for sharing that story. Sorry for your loss but glad you have the happy memories
💐🥺🖤
The atmosphere in this game was everything.
For me - it has no equal to this day.
100% correct. It seems games like this are no more. Very sad,
100000000000000% True
All the classic Tomb Raiders had great atmosphere, sound effects and music, don't make em like they used to.
Even though the graphics are awful by today's standards you still get fully engrossed in the game
👍👍👍👍👍
Some of the best graphics my little 8 year old heart had ever seen
@Lern to english they are refrencing their childhood memories of playing this growing up like on their box TV lol
Same. I thought this game was a technological marvel at its time of release.
@@thehawk5141 that’s cause it was lmao
our computer couldn't hack it. so i never got it.
That T Rex coming out of no where is one of the coolest moments in gaming history.
My favorite game back in the day... I always loved how quiet it was in the tombs and you can just hear the wind and the ambience of certain noises in the background for each level.. It gives off such a lonely mysterious vibe to it.
And the fog. Because of the limitations of the technology at the time they only had black as a fog, which to me made it a lot more realistic.
Yep, agreed! The cut scenes and the music was great, but it was all about the exploration in a quiet cave somewhere in Peru
The music, atmosphere, ingenious puzzles and level design of this game will never be matched. They captured the feeling of being cut off and completely alone so perfectly. This was and is a masterpiece
Amen
Are there 2 different types of uzi in this game? The ones at end sound different to ones at start
The music definitely gives me Halo vibes
Probably my favourite game of all time
No the game is not a masterpiece. Taking 20 shots to kill a rat is ridiculous. It really destroyed the sense of realism the game tried to create.
This was the gameeee!! Shoutout my dad for putting me on this early af 🤌🏼😂
That's sweet
nice to see you here
@@finnthehuman4168 im exactly the same dude, love this.
Love this I’m exactly the same my dad got me into it🥰🥰
Ask dad to teach you proper English without cuss words.
Takes me back to being a little kid, spent years of my childhood watching my mum and dad play the PS1 era Tomb Raiders at night and I’d always try coming downstairs to watch but I’d get told to go back to sleep 😂 good old days. Miss the 90s, the nostalgia is fucking heavy.
Oh yes, reading the comments, so many people experienced this game as a child and watched their parents, especially secretly... 👍
Keep your beautiful memories from your childhood ! ❤🤗❤
Love this
Hahahaha my uncle was taking his ps1 to my home and was playing this with my older brothers. My uncle always told me dont watch when it gets scary so i look away hahahahabahah i was always afraid to play this game
I remember watching my dad play this and it brought back memories. I miss you Dad ❤️
lump throat.
My Dad and I used to play this as well.
As a true Tomb Raider fan… I’m extremely satisfied that you jumped onto the hand of Midas. 1:42:08 Thank you 🙏🏽 haha
First heard of you from the video Cody Ko did, you took it really well, sick to see you here dude 👍
Didn‘t expect you here, haha.
and it is so cool how the legend says about touch changing cold
Do not stand on that hand. It will turn you into a statue.
Man, that Midas hand, had me stuck for a good two weeks back when I was 17! My brother in law had to figure it out for me.
This game has an atmosphere that is unmatched even to this day, I've played a stupid amount of AA and AAA titles throughout my life and still cannot find a game that captures the feeling of being completely alone, deep underground inside of ancient mythical ruins with nothing but predatory wildlife, the sound of resting stone and the occasional breeze.
It is relaxing and equally as terrifying.
are you sure it's not your own nostalgia and memories/feelings attached to it when you played it the first time that are unmatched? Because literally the new tomb raider makes this look like a child's game and it can't compare but if this game holds sentimental value to you then it'll have something the other games will never have.
@@theonarte8048 Prequel Lara was not badass, just a pornographic screaming bint. And there were also too many support roles so the feeling of isolation was non-existent, along with the fact that the majority of enemies were human.
I agree, I played this to bits when I was young, back then Tomb Raider and Resident Evil were the shit, and to this day I still think the first ones are the best in their franchises, the other titles simply didn't match the atmosphere. i wanted to like the new Tomb Raiders as they are real beautiful, but they're just your run of the mill modern shooter with a Tomb Raider skin on it.
I love all the Tomb Raider games, but I fully agree, the first few had an atmosphere that is unmatched. The comment was nailed perfectly by DEEPFROAT but sadly misinterpreted by Theo I think.
Yes there is a lot of nostalgia but noticing how atmospheric a game is is completely different to recognising nostalgia.
Tbh I'm really struggling to think of any relatively recent game that even comes close to how the early TR games felt. I can think of a few older games though (Fade To Black being one of them), but after the PS1 era, things changed a lot.
@@DarthTribal You totally understand. I watched a video by someone that did an incredible analysis on the first Tomb Raider and it was the most enjoyable thing I've seen on CZcams, check this out you'll love it 👍🏻
czcams.com/video/_iGSi9qxpfc/video.html
This brings back so many memories to this 30 year old... thank you! ✨🙏🏽
Me too 🥺 I loved playing these growing up!
Same here, but now I’m 42. This game was quite mind blowing for the time
@@alexandruescu1207 38 SAME
@@PIP...33 And not forgetting the original Resident Evil… another game that blew my mind.
@@alexandruescu1207 YEP
BUT I LOVED SYPHON FILTER 1 , AND DUKE NUKEM 2 , PARASITE EVE 2 ,
My best friend love Silent Hill 1
I also love every Tomb Raider till TR5 Chronicles.
I think TR4 engine was best, TR2 story best , TR3 graphic and new moves weapons were best...but TR1 was reason I fell in Love. Opening with wolves at that time was beyond imagination. Possible only other game that blew my mind was San Andreas when I started first time.
It's crazy, I never get bored of watching this, find it dead relaxing
"Bored"
@@nocommentaryjustfun6735 You Are Fucking Crazy to Think that.
You never get BORED.
BOARD is incorrect.
Me too...
It's a Classic
I always come back to Tomb Raider when I feel nostalgic. There is something about it that is the epitome of the mid 90s gaming zeitgeist.
I remember crapping myself when the T-Rex came around the corner but the sounds and atmosphere this game had in its day was amazing so much nostalgia came flooding back watching this just awesome.
When the t rex came my uncle told me look awayyyy dont look lolll hahahahah
Everyone is sharing their experiences with the game and it’s so heartwarming to see. ❤
This is my favorite game of all time. I can play this game over and over. For me, it still holds up today.
What still amazes me about this game is how you can be spending 25 mins and still be basically in the same area in different locations. The level design is absolutely incredible
A Masterpiece! Can't believe this came out in 1996
This game looks so easy to me now... It's almost embarrassing to think that I was scared to play this as a kid
this game IS scary !! haha 😅
🦛
27 year old man here, still scared of this game
This game was scary. It had an ambience surrounding it to compete with Resident Evil, Clock Tower and The House of the dead 2. Great times.
I agree it's a scary game, too. Couldn't have finished without my dad back then
The waterfall drop followed by the T-Rex battle in level 3 are iconic. This was the first game I bought with my first console with my own money as a kid in 99'. I saved all summer and ended up bringing a bag of change to store to buy it. It was already a "greatest hits" title by then. I was 12. Despite the aging graphics this game had the basic action / adventure / puzzle elements right on and is still fun to watch.
I agree but to me the most iconic stage was Atlantis
Thanks for reminding me which one the T Rex was in. So much nostalgia playing that level.
Love the way these games let you figure the game out in your own. Too many games today hold your hand through the whole experience, tell you wear to go and what to do. This is one of my all time favorites
I'm 36 and this brings me so many memories, thank you for uploading..
im 43 and it still brings me so many memories and I still have the original I bought in 1997 and I still play it
Never gets old
@@nadjet1977 never, cheers
@@nadjet1977 nice bro
@@nadjet1977 wow you still play it on the CD-rom? PCs nowadays no longer have CD drives and intel graphics probably don't support the original game format anymore haha. guess you have to download the remastered version.
I still get chills playing The City Of Kahmoon level. The atmosphere, the silence, the unknown... it was all so exciting!!! My favorite game of all time.
I honestly never got into actually *playing* Tomb Raider beyond the first level, but it helped bloom two things I still to this day love very much. When my parents bought me this at like, 9 years old, the disc actually ended up in my stereo player because I LOVED the soundtrack (mostly the main theme which I played to DEATH), and it's a big part of why today I compose music. Secondly, the disc came with other Eidos exclusives which is how I found the Thief series, and my mind was way more blown away by the demo of Thief Gold and Thief 2 and now 22+ years later, I still play it and have composed music for some fan made levels of the series (hate anything after Thief 3 though). Lara explored tombs and I guess she helped me explore my treasures too without ever really playing her game, lolol!
The music was everything in this game so good
25 years ago and i never feel boring from this game 😢
Watching these videos gives me nostalgia overload I love it. These games will forever be my favourite and I wish I could go back to those days and experience them again for the first time. I never get that feeling with games today
😂😂 this game is fucking shit compared to games now. I play games like 4 or more times now, wouldn’t even wanna play this once
Pues Ami seme va aser pues nunca pude pasarlo y hoy en día con la tecnología si 😂por no saber inglés
Thank you! I actually played this, especially level 1, hundreds of hours. I know all the secrets by heart. I got the game by accident. Back then, software programs come in CDs. I had my IBM windows 95. The programs used to cost a bomb for a school girl like me, so i go to black market buy pirated ones. I paid a tiny money for a French learning program, in a homemade looking computer printout cover of a CD. Instead, it turned out to be this! Tomb Raider. I was learning about how to handle my new pc at the time, so i didn't know where the control menus were located, so i just hit whichever keys on the keyboard and banged my head hundreds of times until i told a guy friend about it and he helped me out. Eventually he got interested in the game too and bought his own copy. Then start a beautiful journey of my love for the game. Thank you so much for this! Just watching you play is just gold. I'm now a mom of 2 boys and have a loving husband i've known since high school. We love playing TR series. But when my husband started playing it again through Steam, he complained non-stop how awful it looked. I loved it though, to this day i simply love this game. One of my favorites all the way. Warm regards, from Hong Kong
Incredible game of the playstation, thanks for this longplay.
Tomb Raider 1 , Resident Evil 1, Final Fantasy 7, Soviet Strike , PlayStation 1 , the great age of video games
Everything about this I love and feel deeply nostalgic for:
- The extremely calculated steps to make every single jump
- The little side steps to get her in front of a lever/key hole just right
- The way she runs and accidentally smacks her face against the wall
- The tried and tested front-flip, back-flip, side-flip shooting method
- Calmly walking around spikes
- That swan dive
Thanks for sharing! Bonus points for all the times you strategically switched to the shotgun, rounded a corner, and immediately shot at whatever creature was waiting to ambush you 👌🌟
Also, I don't care how low-poly, every time she jumps into the water with an alligator it still gives me a fright
Man i used to play TR 1 in my ps1 .. when i was 9 yo .. i played it over and over .. i never got bored .. this brings a lot of memories, specially the music in the menu ✨
It brings out memories of a really really good time when we were all young and never have thought of how ugly this world can be
This game was a head off it’s time, just look at the graphics, action, cutscenes and music. This was dated in 1996 and it still is beautiful
I'll never forget stressing out over this game . I loved everybs come of it too . This and Resident Evil were mind boggling graphics to me back then . I grew up starting super Nintendo/Nintendo era
The soundtrack gives me chills, good memories, can't believe this was 20 years ago.
This was my first pc game my uncle gifted me.
I ❤️ love Tomb Raider!
The best game of my entire youth!
I played this game with Sega Saturn almost 30 years ago. A lot of great memories👍
The graphics look cutting-edge for 1996. Very engaging plot too. I'd easily still play it this day
Remember playing this with my son he’s now 35 great memories thanks for sharing.
Love this game ever since 1996. The music and atmosphere and level design of it is a masterpiece.
Still prefer it over today's standards, as now it's all cinematic and action based rather than exploring tombs and avoiding traps.
I think there is a bit too emphasis now on everything being dramatic and having the character constantly mutter to themselves.
Nintendo still knows how to make great games! Would love to see Nintendo give a go at Tomb Raider! I think it will be loads of fun & gameplay.
Agree completely. I've played all 3 generations of Tomb Raider games, and the original ones still capture the best gameplay and overall feeling for me. I think there are many things that all work together such as the sparse/ambient sound and enemies with only short musical emphasis at the right time, having to hold onto ledges the whole time so there's actually a risk, or the pacing of the level design with closed/open spaces.
But one aspect that stood out to me as I came back this year is that the "block" system is actually a huge part of what makes the gameplay great, similar to how it helps minecraft. With the blocks/jumping/climbing/grabbing/sliding system, it eliminates the need for "magic" or "sticky" special walls and ledges in the environment and makes all surfaces fair game for jumping and exploring. This eliminates all sorts of problems: no need for white paint on grabbable surfaces/edges, no need for invisible walls/barriers, no need for identifiable climbing surfaces with magic interaction buttons. Instead, traversing is like a 3D realtime chess game against the environment with a consistent set of rules. Standing jumps arc 1 square forward and 1 square high, or alternatively arc 2 squares forward at the same level. Running jumps give you an extra square and running jumps with a ledge grab give you one square after that. Anything sloped 45 degrees or more will slide. Any block edge that isn't too sloped horizontally can be grabbed. Rolls move you the length of one block edge to the opposite side alignment. Some rules are taught, but others are simply learned by observation/experimentation.
With the rules established, the environment can now put any textures it wants anywhere, and platforms/ledges can be anything. After all, this is a game to play, not a documentary, so unrealistic "gamey" concepts are ok as long as they are fun. I love the design and traversal freedom it actually provides despite the graphical constraints. It allows the environment to always feel threatening, liberating, isolated and relaxing at the same time, and rewards careful and intentional strategic exploration over hasty sprinting and combat. For me personally, I really like the result. Even the tank-style controls (despite being clunky by some standards) actually add to the challenge and can be quite satisfying when mastered -- you just have to realize it's less of a twitch thing and more of a planned series of movements thing.
All just my opinions/preferences, but it's good to see there are others who feel the same way. Cheers and happy tomb raiding!
@@musicman3569 well-said bro!
@@musicman3569 maybe the indie scene will create someday an heavy inspired classic tomb raider game, with blocky retro graphics, lots of puzzles, exploring, platforming and heavy emphasis on ambience etc.
*I remember playing this as a kid in 96 with my dad and brother. Great memories.*
This is one of the few games I wish I could go back and play again for the first time. This was one of the first, true 3D games, a term that isn't even used today due to it being mainstream.
This was an adventure game but I swear to god, it was as scary as any horror survival when I played for the first time when I was a teenager.
The music, atmosphere, ingenious puzzles and level design of this game will never be matched. They captured the feeling of being cut off and completely alone so perfectly. This was and is a masterpiec
I thank you so much for this, especially showing the Midas' hand death animation. The waves of nostalgia hit me hard. I remember thinking that was the coolest game design at the time.
After owning an Atari 2600, Nintendo 8 bit, Super Nintendo, and Sega Genesis, this game came out for the Sega Saturn and PS1 in 96 and revolutionized console gaming. I don't know if Eidos had any idea what kind of mark they'd leave on the video game industry. TR1 was a masterpiece.
I used to watch my older sister play this and we played it in the pitch dark because we found it scary!! One of my all time favourite games and I would actually sit and play this version! It’s fab and so spooky 👻
I would also watch my older sister play!! I was too young and afraid to play it myself and when we got to a spot that was too hard for her, she would ask our mom, and sometimes our dad, to help!
All the memories of me and my mom playing this together🥺thank you for this
Your mom must be a great person. :)
@@IgorSantarek cute emoji huh
I remember playing this when i was 7 years old, after watching this it feels like i still remember it all. Amazing video!
Loved this game! Memories! I remember like it was yesterday... I thought that it couldn't get any better than this. The sounds were big for me
The music in this game is underrated.
Wow this brings back so many memories when me and Mt boyfriend at the time would play this for hours...the sound effects..visuals..music...graphics at that time..this was a stunning and non stop fun time...watching this truly brought back all of the memories..shooting bats..swimming..traversing..climbing..
backflips with guns drawn while shooting..moving rocks..MAN IM READY TO PLAY RIGHT NOW
Woah, some of the music in this game is actually incredible!
The music in the classic Tomb Raider games, and this original game in particular, is truly genius!
Thank you so much for this! Really needed the nostalgia bomb. And thank you again for doing the Midas turn to gold death, those small bits made this game such a classic.
Man, how genius were the level's design and puzzles of St. Francis' Folly? That part was a nightmare in my childhood!
Always thought TR1 and 2 were the best in terms of atmosphere and locations.
Truly a memorable moment when you step into the big puzzle room and the music starts playing.
Loved the playthrough! I play this and the other classic Tomb Raider games all the time and am pro at this point but sometimes it's nice to watch someone else play. Used to watch my sister play this when we were kids and miss it sometimes. This brought back that feeling. Thanks for making these videos mate 😊
Magically lighted walls with no logical light source, the signature of 90s graphics.
Lol
Played this for the first time with my sister in 1998 when we got our first family PC. Then again on the Nokia N-Gage in 2004. Such good memories.
i played this game when i was 9 years old. i remember killing the t-rex but from then on i think i never got further. also i never knew what a memory card was or how to save the game xD but i love this game so much. the visuals and the sound. and only now i realize how precise the developers created lara's movements. top game i highly recommend!
Thanks for showing us all the game and being so thorough, like the Midas hand turning Lara gold and stuff
😭 I remember being absolutely terrified of that Trex when I was a child! Man, this is a wonderful video!! Thank you for making it!
"You can't bump off me and my brood so easy, Lara."
Lara: *calmly navigates a series of complicated jumps while being shot at the whole time, leaves*
Such a great game. I'm as blown away by it today as I was 25 yrs ago. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Thanks for this moment! It's pure gold! 1:42:09
I adore your channel. You may not be huge, but the way you play and do things make you pretty damn interesting to watch. Thank you.
Hey, thanks. I appreciate it. I used to get primarily negative comments but nowadays it's usually the opposite so I guess I'm doing it right.
Very well played.
Beautiful atmosphere. Fascinating and mystical like back then.
This game is just pure happiness! 😍 I will never get sick of it.
Same here!
I have never played this game in old days. But watching it is exciting, even in 2023. The gameplay is smooth and thanks for no commentary preserving the game atmosphere!
Thank you for this!!!
I can’t tell you how many memories this brings back as a child. I wish I could back in time and re-live this.
To be honest the game was very difficult and the only way I could beat the game was by using cheat codes, sold in the stores back in the day. LOL
I was so amazed to find the game tomb raider in a gaming magazine and they had a walkthrough much like this. But except it was in an older magazine! Incredible stuff
Midas' Palace took me back. Glad you included the unique death animation in the playthrough. Everyone who first played it back in the day found out that little doozy the hard way. I remember being torn between being upset over dying and thinking the gold effect looked cool. Good playthrough too. Can tell you're a seasoned player. The only bit I can add really is the few times when you're one step away from the front of the block and you choose to walk 3 paces back to line up for the jump. In the situations where you're near the front the ledge, its quicker to just walk the one step forward to the edge and then hop backwards as the backwards hop is always exactly one square in length. Then you're immediately set up for the jump. :)
this trilogy needs a remaster similar to spyro and crash bandicoot
We got Tomb Raider on PS1 for Christmas 96. On the way home from my parent's house that night I realised I felt unwell and I came down with an awful bout of flu for the rest of the Christmas period. It didn't stop me playing through this gem though, even with a banging headache and a hot water bottle under my blanket (for days). I did manage to walk off (a lot) to my death in the Damocles area though. Happy (falling) memories. I'm loving watching this, as is my other half - on the big telly this afternoon. Brilliant - thanks. I will play this version (with patches) for the nostalgia. It may be a bit clunky by modern standards, but the atmos' is spot on.
as a child was totally scared xD but now i love the good old games! so much memorys when my dad was playing it
This game was my childhood ☺️the nostalgia is real💯
I love watching you play through this game you make Laura look very graceful no move is wasted you don't miss your jumps you take your time and do use the right thing at the right moment every time you don't waste ammo you're very efficient with everything which makes your playthrough extremely satisfying to watch, that freaking guy is really irritating, how he just somehow appears all the time like he's following you and just leeching off of your success. If it wasn't for you finding the keys and the switches and moving further and further into these tombs he would just be stuck and never go anywhere but he just waits till you do all the hard work and then just follows you like some little scam artist grifter and what the heck man you shoot him over and over and he doesn't die? That's stupid at one point he walked right into that bladed crushing door and didn't even flinch.
thank you for letting me re-experience these classics while I'm doing some work, it saves me time and the frustration of blundering through myself!
Lara is hard on the wild life haha
I had only ever seen the first level as a kid, it’s neat seeing how much more variety there is. I didn’t even know you had gunfights with other humans, not that the battle mechanics are anything to write home about…
I remember when I was a little boy I used to play this game but was so scared of it I didnt have a memory card so everyday I would get on and start all over at the beginning of the cave and for some reason I always thought something different or new was about to happen so I was always scared thinking that animals had gotten closer to the beginning of the map so it was always entertaining for me just roaming around here getting a little further and further every time I played....crazy how clueless and innocent we once were thanks for this.
Love this so many memories of being terrified and jump scares mixed with frustration and buying gaming walkthroughs etc thank you now I find it soothing and play while settling into bed to go to sleep because of the nostalgia 😊
Very nice recording and upload. Looks great ! Thank you
When Tomb Raider came out in 1996, and I remember seeing a demo disc for one of the first levels. I was so desperate for it that I actually stole it from the magazine and ran home to play it.
Of course I eventually bought / requested the game on my PlayStation - however never completed the final stage as it was so difficult. Still, this video brings back so many memories - 37 years old and still nostalgic 😊
I had the demo too! I think I was too young to understand the game and found it a bit too difficult...just enjoyed running around shooting things
Found this video a little late, but really appreciate this as a guide. Every other longplay out there seems dedicated to grabbing every secret, which just leads me down unnecessary rabbit holes when I'm just trying to reach the end of the level. Thanks!
I remember playing this whenever I’d go over to my cousins..such nostalgic man
Rule #2: Double Tap - In those moments when you're not sure the enemy is really dead dead, don't get all stingy with your bullets
Still the best in the series. All it needs is to be able to do the 180 turn while jumping and Lara having round instead of pointy chest to be absolutely perfect.
Pretty impressive even after so many years how much this raised the game and evolved modern gaming. You had 3rd person games before, but this just was something completely different.
She didn't even need to cut that rope to jump down and start shooting the wolves lol. Dude died for no reason.
Thank you for this playthrough! I actually used it to help me get through Tomb Raider as well. Playing the video alongside my own playing, and it helps a lot with figuring out what to do.
"the originals are pure pixel soup on a modern display at modern resolutions" - Oh man, wait until you see what the Sega Saturn version looks like all these years later! PS; Love that each level has it's section clearly pointed out in the video timer.
Yeah, it's a new feature CZcams's testing out. I hope they keep it, it's fantastic for the viewer.
Man, time flies. I remember playing the demo for this before it was released. I knew it was going to be good. And the cinematic background music was and still is awesome.
I can still remember my mind being completely blown first time I played this on my ps1. Pure exploration! I love it! Not wave after wave of enemies (I’m looking at you Naughty Dog!) In my opinion the only other game to surpassed TR for pure total immersive environmental exploration is God of War (Santa Monica you got everything right). Revisiting this I’m in awe at the use of the sound and music in this game, way ahead of its time; it still sounds incredible today! I remember my mind being blown further on reaching the lost valley and that T-Rex (a moment I shall take to my grave with me). Then my mind blown further still on retrieving the first piece of the scion, only to realise that I’d done a fraction of the game and even greater things awaited me! What a benchmark game! Bravo!
This was my very first PSX game. Farthest I got was the Lost Valley. That T-Rex freaked the shit out of me. 28 years later and I still get scared by the music whenever there's an enemy.
This was an awesome playthrough - superb game! Newer Tomb Raider games have lost their way, there was way more danger and tension in these levels compared to new entries. Francis Foley excellent use of vertical level design - I remember as a kid this scared me way more than it should have!
Just picked up every tomb raider game for 50$ on steam, never really played any of them cant wait
😲😲😲
Nostalgia is strong with this one. My most beloved (and hated at the same time) is the last revelation, beautiful memories
At 10, this was the most exciting, engrossing adventure I'd ever experienced. My cousin and I would play it all day long. Wish I could play it again!
You can if you get a PS1 emulator on your phone or laptop and download the game and play it there
When I was a kid, i was stuck at the midas palace. I can finally get some closure now after seeing how dumb I was back then lmao
