Tomb Raider Overview & Walkthrough
Tomb Raider OverviewThis is where it all began. In November 1996, gamers around the world got their first glimpse of intrepid British adventurer Lara Croft. This time she's been hired by Jacqueline Natla, CEO of Natla Technologies, to locate a mysterious artifact rumored to lie buried in a Peruvian tomb. With the gamer's help, Lara finds the artifact only to realize it's just part of a larger, more powerful object—the Scion, a relic from the lost continent Atlantis. Lara also learns she's not the only one after the Scion, and (surprise, surprise!) her new employer is not at all what she seems to be. The game includes 15 extensive levels, in which Lara explores ancient ruins in South America, Greece, Egypt and ultimately Atlantis itself.  Tomb Raider was one of the first games to successfully blend action and adventure genres. Gameplay centers on exploration and puzzle solving, but there's still plenty of combat as well. By today's standards the graphics are a bit primitive; however, patches are available for many popular 3dfx cards. See the Downloads page for patch info, and check out Glidos, another excellent resource. Platforms: Originally released for PC, Macintosh, PlayStation and Sega Saturn. More recently made available for Nokia N-Gage and Pocket PC. Be warned that the Pocket PC version, while apparently great in the gameplay department, runs on only a few systems and has some technical issues. (For more info see the various customer reviews at Amazon.com.) Saving Your Game: PC and Macintosh versions include unlimited saves at any point in the game. (PC and Mac savegame files are available in case you make a bad save, want to skip a level, etc.) In the PlayStation and Sega Saturn versions, you must collect a save crystal each time you want to save your game. The walkthrough gives the location of all save crystals. Secrets: The number of secrets in each level varies (from 1 to 5). They consist of ammunition, medipaks, save crystals (PS1 only) and the occasional weapon. A chime sounds when you locate a secret, and the statistics screen at the end of each level tells how many secrets were available in that level, along with how many you found. There is no bonus for finding all secrets in a level or all secrets in the game. As always, my walkthrough includes the location of all secrets. Bonus Levels: The re-release for PC and Macintosh, Tomb Raider Gold, includes four bonus levels. These levels can also be downloaded free. A Google search for "Tomb Raider Unfinished Business download" should turn up links. Tomb Raider & Windows XP or 2000: Tomb Raider is the only game in the series designed to run in the DOS operating system. You'll need to do a bit of tweaking to get it to run under Windows XP or Windows 2000. Our Quick Installation Guide has all the extra files you'll need and gives easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions. It also includes links to several fan-created extras designed to upgrade the Tomb Raider 1 gaming experience. Tomb Raider & Windows Vista: To play TR1 on a system running Windows Vista, you may want to try VDos32 + Glidos. Instructions for setup are included on those sites. The VDos32 page has preconfigured self-extracting archives you can download to make setup easier. At this time, vDOS only works with 32-bit Vista, not the 64-bit installation. Becoming an Expert Raider: If you've never played Tomb Raider before—or even if you have—I encourage you to check out my TR1 Controls and Gameplay Tips & Strategy pages. They include pointers on moving Lara through her environment, conserving health and ammo, using the menu and inventory systems, and much more. Tomb Raider WalkthroughThis walkthrough has been completely revised. The new version was posted in late April and early May of 2007. Each page now includes an update history, detailing the most recent changes. Most pages have undergone at least minor revisions, and a few sections have been completely overhauled. I have also added a number of screenshots, including visual aids for finding all secrets.
