Happy 23rd anniversary to the game that started it all and to everyone involved in what was a game changer within the industry, and our very hearts, lead by Lara Croft.

From the 2nd photo: The developers of Core Design (Gavin Rummery, Jason Gosling, Toby Gard, Heather Gibson, Neal Boyd, and Paul Douglas, also Vicky Arnold who is not pictured), composer Nathan McCree, Shelley Blond (voice actress of Lara Croft, and Ian Livingstone from Eidos Interactive with the first Lara models.

So here’s to the next 20+, hoping one day to see the original era reimagined for a new generation!

TR1: the end (1)

I am quitting Tomb Raider 1. I watched the levels Atlantis and The Great Pyramid. But there is little to say about them.

Textures looks like muscles

There are textures that looks like muscles. It was made by Heather Gibson.

In both Tomb Raider and Tomb Raider II there are levels that are wilder in concept after playing a majority of a believable game.The settings are organic in nature and locations are real. In Tomb Raider Neal developed the Atlantis levels. How was this concept created?

Yes didn’t Atlantis turn out wild or possibly weird? That might have been partly due to the textures. Neal didn’t have time to do his textures for this level so I supplied them for him. I was looking into more bizarre sources for my texture library when Gavin arrived one day with a human anatomy book used by the medical profession. Perfect for me to use as a basis for some very unnerving and surreal textures.

Star Wars reference

Look at this cutscene. Natla has been imprisoned by Tihocan and Qualopec

It reminds me somehow of Star Wars, where Han Solo gets frozen in carbonite.

The Great Pyramid

The Great pyramid has not any textures that are interesting. We know how it ends. That's it, that's the end of my review of Tomb Raider 1.

I decided to do a serie of edits with the quotes I found interesting and relevant in this amazing book. Hopefully it will be acknowledged enough for an English translation to be requested.

If you can read French, don’t doubt and get the book here.

How Tomb Raider II was supposed to see the light of day without its creator? Fortunately, apart from the individual contribution, Tomb Raider is, over all, a team work (...) While it's true that Toby Gard created Lara Croft and Tomb Raider, all the members in the team were essential: Gavin and his level editor, Heather and Neal who probed their great talent when building them, Jason who programmed the Saturn version, Vicky who gave birth to the storyline...if it was necessary, from now on, Tomb Raider could make it without Toby Gard and Paul Douglas.

On his part, Toby received a new offense from Eidos, who asked him to include in the game a code for... strip Lara! This time all the team stuck together and cathegorically refused Miss Croft to be exposed with her simplest equipment. The woman in the team, Heather, confirmed: "Yes, we were asked to do that, but we never did. There is NO nude Lara! After all, she's just a wire underneath. (laughs)
