Lara Croft has just returned from a hunting trip in the Himalayas where, having bagged a 12-foot tall yeti, she's itching for a new challenge. While enjoying a little R & R, she's contacted Jacqueline Natla, a conniving business woman who convinces Lara to recover a mysterious artifact from the tomb of Qualopec in Peru.

Wasting no time, Lara sets out on her quest to find one of the three pieces of the ancient Atlantean Scion, a talisman of incredible power. After discovering the fragment things get ugly, Lara finds herself face to face with one of Natla's hired goons. Using her cunning wits and athletic strength, Lara escapes!

As she delves into the reasons why Natla would double cross her, she uncovers a mystery that reaches back before the dawn of recorded time to the treachery that destroyed the Atlantean civilization and the disasters that struck the world when it fell.

By Source, Fair use, Link

This entry in the Tomb Raider series continues to follow Laura Croft as she travels around the world in order to retrieve a valuable artifact (The Dagger of Xian) which is said to possess mythical powers prior to it falling into the hands of a villain.

The game itself holds a very similar premise as the first one. It goes more into depth with its game mechanics and it was released for Microsoft Windows PC and PlayStation.

As mentioned, this particular game featured a lot more mechanics than the previous iteration. Not only did it have new weapon varieties, but it gave Laura brand new moves and even a set of vehicles that she could use.

Instead of forcing a player to have crystals to save the game on PlayStation, players were given the freedom to save the game pretty much throughout the entire game.

3. Tomb Raider III (1998)

By Source, Fair use, Link

The 3rd entrant into the series continued to follow the same foundation as the previous games released before it.

This game was published by Eidos Interactive and it was released on the Microsoft Windows and PlayStation platforms.

While the previous games were developed on the same engine, this one was developed on a brand new engine that featured greater efficiency and better graphics.

In this engine, developers were able to utilize triangular polygons and colored lighting which allowed them to be able to create much better and more detailed character models and even level designs.

The plot of this game had Laura Croft following clues which took her on an amazing journey to meet something that had never been seen before.

By Source, Fair use, Link

This was the fourth game in the Tomb Raider series. This was a game that was released in 1999 on PlayStation, Microsoft Windows, PlayStation Portable, and the Dreamcast.

This was the first game in the series that allowed Laura to swing from ropes hanging from the ceiling. Likewise, she was able to climb up and down these ropes.

Because the graphics improved so much in the newer engine, Laura didn’t look as ‘blocky’ which created a much more realistic looking appearance for greater immersion.
