Tomb Raider

Tomb Raider made Lara Croft gaming's first pop icon — on magazine covers, ads and films. But the game was much more than its protagonist: 3D exploration of ancient tombs with environmental puzzles, platforming and combat. The solitary atmosphere — you and the ruins — created unique tension. The T-Rex in the Peru level is one of gaming's most celebrated scares. Core Design defined a genre that would inspire Uncharted.
