This page is for the first game in the Tomb Raider series. For the series as a whole, go here and for the 2013 reboot of the same title go here.The first game in the Tomb Raider series was created by a team of just six people, and was originally released for Sega Saturn, PlayStation and PC (and Mac) in 1996. A remake called Tomb Raider: Anniversary was released in 2007; this version altered the game's events to take place within the continuity of the first Crystal Dynamics reboot.Lara Croft is hired by a wealthy businesswoman, Jacqueline Natla, to recover a piece of an artifact called the Scion, from the lost city of Vilcabamba. After Lara is inevitably betrayed by her employer, she races across the world to find the two other pieces of the Scion and prevent it from falling into Natla's hands. Along the way, Lara visits Peru, Greece, Egypt, and a remnant of Atlantis.The game received sizable critical acclaim (including a couple of "game of the year" awards), and established many of the tropes of the Action-Adventure genre. As a result of the amount of genre conventions it established, it is frequently cited as one of the most influential games of all time.The game was made for Sega Saturn, PlayStation and PC, with ports to N-gage, Windows Pocket PC, and iOS.A remaster of Tomb Raider (alongside II & III in one collection) for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S & Nintendo Switch was released on February 14th 2024, featuring significantly updated graphics and the option to use more modern controls. | |

Early Game Hell | |
| Tomb Raider I (Video Game) / int_1527d90d | comment |
Early Game Hell: Your main enemies in the first level are panthers, crocodiles, and the Atlantean monsters. You only have your pistols and later on, the shotgun. Health packs are also hard to find. The enemy types don't change as you progress to later levels, but supplies start to become slightly more abundant to ease the sting of the level designs. | |

Misplaced Wildlife | |
| Tomb Raider I (Video Game) / int_17a45ff5 | comment |
Misplaced Wildlife: Greece is simply the worst offender, with gorillas, lions, and crocodiles everywhere. The Colosseum tries to justify it by implying that they were brought there, an element more pronounced in Anniversary in which Lara actually sees the cages that housed them. Not to mention raptors and a T. rex in a secluded valley in Peru (interestingly, it would later be discovered that large raptors did live in South America, but they didn't look like the ones in the game). | |

Direct Continuous Levels | |
| Tomb Raider I (Video Game) / int_18d0e38c | comment |
Direct Continuous Levels: Individual levels do this, but chapters involve a transition to a different location. There's still a stats screen at the end of each level, but the transition otherwise appears smooth. This feature was kept in Anniversary. Level filenames indicate that certain levels in the game, like the Lost Valley*LEVEL3A and the Tomb of Qualopec*LEVEL3B, The Cistern*LEVEL7A and the Tomb of Tihocan*LEVEL7B, and the entirety of Egypt and Atlantis, were once part of a single large level before being split into smaller segments. This can also be noticed in the passport stamps that Lara collects from each location; she won't gain stamps from locations that were originally parts of larger levels. | |

Soft Water | |
| Tomb Raider I (Video Game) / int_1c2b6ac8 | comment |
Soft Water: Happens very often, right from the very beginning of the first level, but the end of Atlantean Stronghold contains a particularly ridiculous example. Lara needs to line up a precision jump into one of the grooves in the building on the ground. The "groove" turns out to be a vertical shaft spanning at least ten floors (judging by texture changes) and is long enough that some versions of the game actually crash while Lara falls. Of course, at the bottom is a pool of water. | |

Villain Ball | |
| Tomb Raider I (Video Game) / int_1cc2ea8d | comment |
Villain Ball: Natla hires Lara to find a piece of the ancient Scion hidden in Qualupec's Tomb, and then sends Larson to kill her and take it from her. Why she didn't just wait for Lara to bring it back as per their agreement is anyone's guess, since she could have just as easily sent goons to try and kill Lara if Lara decided to hedge on their agreement. This backfires spectacularly as not only does Lara take out Larson but also decides she's going to go after the other two Scion pieces just for the thrill of it, leading her to foil Natla's entire plan. At two separate points in the game both Pierre and Larson actually beat Lara to a piece of the Scion. Do they take the damned thing and peace out? No, they stand their ground, gloat, and try and kill Lara purely out of spite, which ends about as well as you'd expect for them: the woman who's had no problem gunning down dozens of wild animals, dinosaurs, and mutants, and has won at least one fight against the two of them already, easily dispatches the both of them. | |

Ascended Glitch | |
| Tomb Raider I (Video Game) / int_26ba32a3 | comment |
Ascended Glitch: The game features the "corner bug", which causes Lara to warp to the top of tall structures. The developers were aware of this, and placed a large medipack on top of a tall column in Palace Midas that can only be reached with the help of this bug. This also started a Running Gag of unreachable large medipacks that lasted for the first three games. | |

No Flow in CGI | |
| Tomb Raider I (Video Game) / int_27b2bccc | comment |
No Flow in CGI: The reason Lara has no ponytail outside of FMVs. The earliest prototypes of the game featured a much higher-poly Lara, even including a ponytail, but this caused severe performance issues. Starting from Tomb Raider II, Lara's ponytail was included in-game. Several fan-made mods attempted to implement her braid during gameplay with varying degrees of success, and the 2024 remaster finally incorporated it properly. | |

Invisible Grid | |
| Tomb Raider I (Video Game) / int_2f6e4ace | comment |
Invisible Grid: The entire game world is based on a block system, most noticeably in areas like the Lost Valley. As such, Lara's movements are designed to follow the format: she will always run forward one square, roll forward one square, etc. The system was kept for the next four games, but it's most noticeable in this game due to its blockier levels and lower-quality textures. | |

Game-Breaking Bug | |

Game-Breaking Bug: The infamous secret bug in the final level, where it is only possible to obtain a maximum of 2 out of 3 secrets even if you had got them all. This is due to the third and final secret of the level accidentally being defined as the second, and therefore only registers if you didn't get the actual second secret beforehand. | |

Rule of Cool | |
| Tomb Raider I (Video Game) / int_36e63b81 | comment |
Rule of Cool: Dinosaurs in an isolated valley, fighting animals in an abandoned colosseum, King Midas palace, mummies, centaurs, mutants, Atlantean ruins, skateboarder boss... Only maybe the expansion pack for Tomb Raider II is more "cool", but it's also strongly implied to be nothing else than a dream, while events of this game happened for sure in-universe. Let's not forget about Lara herself, who is larger than life and goes through just plain weird adventures over the course of the game unscratched. Or doing it all for sport. Speaking of, Lara has a number of moves in the game that serve no purpose whatsoever other than looking damned cool. Holding walk when you jump forward will make Lara do a swan dive (The dive jump eventually gained an actual application, being needed to pass through certain precise jump moments across later Core and Crystal games. And, of course, still looking cool), and holding walk when pulling yourself up a ledge will make Lara do a stylish handstand and gently roll forward onto her feet. Even the instruction manual which teaches you how to do the dive (you need to figure out the handstand on your own) makes it clear the only purpose is to turn on some swag: Toby Gard's commentary for Anniversary only pushed it further, explaining such details as mutants not throwing fireballs but explosive sacks of meat among the things lost due to low resolution. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| Tomb Raider I (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: Lara's basic pistols are this, since they have infinite ammo and can be used whenever firing from a position that an enemy cannot reach her. Takes longer than using stronger weaponry, but saves a lot of ammo and medipacks. The Shotgun actually becomes this for the battle against the Abomination in The Great Pyramid. While slower than the Uzis, its massive damage at close range factors in heavily when you realize that the ledge Lara shares with the thing is pretty small and keeps her close to it... | |

Scenery Porn: Upon release, the game was simply gorgeous, being one of the first games to utilise 3D environment in full extent and in the same provide "cinematic" feel due to third-person perspective.

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Tomb Raider I (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: this game differs in many ways from its successors: Graphics are much blockier and textures are extremely pixelated compared to even Tomb Raider II. Lara herself looks quite awkward without her signature braid, which was removed during gameplay due to engine limitations. The developers tried to model the braid, as seen in the earliest prototypes, but were ultimately unwilling to sacrifice level detail and performance. Likewise, Lara's shirt lacked the low cut that future games would use and her boots in the first game had red laces while later games made them tan. Lara's breasts in the original were infamously triangular due to the limitations of the game engine, with following games featuring more refined models. Lara is limited to four weapons: Pistols, Shotgun, Magnums, and Uzis. Later games would feature much larger arsenals. Lara's moveset is limited, without the ability to climb walls (though she can pull up ledges), sprint, crouch, flip in mid-air, or roll underwater. The mid-air flip and underwater roll moves were retroactively implemented in the 2024 remaster. Only a handful of human enemies appear, and they all play prominent roles in the game's plot. Later games would pit Lara against hordes of faceless, gun-toting Mooks. No outdoor areas appear to exist, owing to engine limitations preventing the game from having proper skyboxes. Even places that should be outside, like Lost Valley and parts of the Colosseum, just have a black featureless sky which is mostly obscured by black distance fog. In commentary for Tomb Raider: Anniversary, designer Toby Gard mentioned that he always wanted these areas to be outside with a blue sky. In Lara's house, when you look out the windows, you can see that the sky is white textures rather than a skybox, as if the house is inside a cave. In the Unfinished Business add-on, stars were added to the black sky of the first two levels as a unique compromise. The 2024 remaster would finally add proper skyboxes throughout the game. The DOS version also removed the entire soundtrack from the PS1/Saturn versions and replaced it with level-specific ambiances; this didn't occur with any future game. Some unofficial patches can rectify this issue, and the mobile version allows toggling between the ambiances and the PS1/Saturn soundtrack. The 2024 remaster combines both soundtracks. This is the only game where Lara is voiced by Shelley Blond, and is actually the only time in the series where a voice actress only plays Lara for one game. Some of Blond's grunts were reused in later games leading to some mild vocal dissonance. Lara's mansion is quite different here compared to the later installments, being little more than a basic tutorial level. The music room has an exercise mat, which is not present in later iterations. Likewise, Lara's bedroom isn't accessible and there's no kitchen or attic. The outside areas were also not accessible. The level was even called "Gym" in pre-release materials, a name that made it to the Sega Saturn version; this was changed to "Lara's Home" for the PlayStation and DOS versions as well as all future games. Flares didn't exist in the first game and dark areas were quite rare due to the engine's lack of support for dynamic lighting of any kind. Lara's death animation when standing still has her slump over on her side. Later games would have fall onto her knees before fully collapsing. Lara's passport in the options menu has its middle pages decorated with various stamps, the amount of which gradually increases as you enter a new level. II and III did away with this, opting instead for simple blank white pages, in addition to changing the colour of the passport from black to red. (Though the stamps were added to II and ''III' and the expansions in the remaster.) When Lara has a weapon drawn, the weapon's magazine/shells would also show up next to the ammo counter for visual flair. This wouldn't be used in later games. This is the only game where Lara is truly alone for the adventure, as her one ally, the guide that takes her to entrance of Qualopec's tomb is killed off in the same cutscene he is introduced in. The health and air meters were a single color with some shading. Later games would give them multiple colors in a gradient, although the PC versions would keep the singular colors. This is the only Tomb Raider game officially available on MS-DOS. Later entries starting with II require Windows. Lara destroys the Scion at the very end to prevent Natla's plans coming to fruition. This is the only instance where Lara destroys an artifact she was hunting for. Other games either let her keep the artifacts she finds or forces her to leave them behind. The medi packs have a red cross on them and the sequel would use them as well. Using the red cross is a violation of the Geneva Convention, so from the third game on, green crosses were used instead. The remaster would also change the red crosses to green for the first and second games. | |

Death Trap | |
| Tomb Raider I (Video Game) / int_55c79f7c | comment |
Death Trap: While obviously a staple of the Tomb Raider series, Unfinished Business contains a section where the player has three routes to take, two safe, one deadly. This death trap is very difficult to escape, and doing so causes some bugs later in the level. In fact, developer commentary on this level, featured in the TR Level Editor manual, states that this was a deliberate, sadistic choice on the part of the designer. Well, he certainly did his job. | |

Hell Is That Noise | |
| Tomb Raider I (Video Game) / int_61a503a7 | comment |
Hell Is That Noise: The creepy, raspy breathing of the mummies and Atlanteans, and, by extension, the horrible, high-pitched shrieks they emit when attacking Lara. The deep groaning noises the Abomination makes. The noises the various animals make - usually while offscreen and not yet attacking Lara - can be this thanks to their sudden nature. If you wait long enough in areas with wolves in without startling them into attacking, they will get up and make this...odd growling sound that seems like it belongs more to a hyena or a jackal. In the PC version the Atlantis levels are accompanied by a heartbeat sound effect, and muffled roaring sounds. Also the Cistern has ambiance of crocodiles hissing and growling in the background. | |

Excuse Plot: Natla sends Lara after a piece of the Scion, tries to off her afterwards, and Lara ends up hunting down the other two pieces out of spite long before the Evil Plan is revealed.

Door to Before: There's several of these throughout the game, with the most noticeable one being right at the end of the penultimate level: if, for whatever reason, you bypass the Scion and instead decide to jump down onto the large platform below (i.e. where the next level starts), a conveniently-placed door opens for you to return to the room just outside where the Scion is housed. | |

Establishing Character Moment: The opening cutscene, which in less than 60 seconds established Lara as a character. Players learn from it she's famous in-universe, doesn't care about money nor social conveyances and is guided by nothing else than the thrill of adventure. She's barely visible in the cutscene, adding a mysterious aura to her image. Directly followed with her acrobatics and swift fight with a pack of wolves in the next cutscene, so everyone can rest assured she can take care of herself and get where and what she wants to. | |

Behind the Black: Pierre will shoot at Lara forever and take an infinite number of bullets, until he is offscreen, at which point he escapes. Sometimes he simply vanishes in mid-air after taking enough damage, or the player can choose to ignore him, and he will not spawn again for the rest of the level. This jarring behavior was even lampshaded in the remake during Pierre's cutscene, during which he screws with Lara by constantly teleporting around her (off-screen) as she vainly attempts to follow his voice. | |

One-Hit Kill | |
| Tomb Raider I (Video Game) / int_a414c3f0 | comment |
One-Hit Kill: Some of the levels have certain floors that will kill you instantly if you land or step on them and almost none of them have any indication that they're dangerous. One notable case is in the first level right by the exit. If you try to go past the exit, Lara is promptly killed if you stand on a certain sand tile. Another level has a trap that, when activated, turns the ground beneath you into a slope, which then has you sliding down into a pit where Lara dies on the spot and it's not from fall damage. The remastered version would set Lara on fire when she died to these traps to show how she died rather than her spontaneously dying from nothing. | |

Nothing Is Scarier | |
| Tomb Raider I (Video Game) / int_cdfe12c3 | comment |
Nothing Is Scarier: This game, along with the next four, has a low draw distance (this one much more so of course). Anything that's not loaded and/or near Lara is completely black. Right from the very first level, you'll encounter this - and you'll always have to go towards the darkness to see what's actually there. This is combined with the unnerving soundtrack to create a frightening experience. This is somewhat downplayed in the 2024 remaster which features significantly increased draw distances. The above-mentioned No-Gear Level tries to evoke this, with Lara stripped of all her weapons, exploring enemy territory, and knowing that Natla's goons are hiding around here somewhere. While the feeling will fade if you're aware of where the point is that they'll attack, first time players will probably be uneasy to turn any corner for fear of being caught unarmed and helpless. | |

Updated Re-release: First a "Gold" version for PC, then ported to iOS/Android in 2013 with some new features such as HD textures for most levels. Unfortunately the port is somewhat half-baked—the achievements are copied off of Anniversary's, and don't work properly, and HD textures don't exist for the latter two locations. Eventually, a proper multiplatform remaster would release in 2024. | |

Lara's mansion is quite different here compared to the later installments, being little more than a basic tutorial level. The music room has an exercise mat, which is not present in later iterations. Likewise, Lara's bedroom isn't accessible and there's no kitchen or attic. The outside areas were also not accessible. The level was even called "Gym" in pre-release materials, a name that made it to the Sega Saturn version; this was changed to "Lara's Home" for the PlayStation and DOS versions as well as all future games. | |
