Anyone else play older games? I've been on a tomb raider kick recently. I remember playing them on a playstation when I was younger but never finished them. Secrets are not well marked, thankfully. Pickups are easy to miss. I highly recommend both to people that enjoy puzzles and exploration without the help of a game that tells you everything.
Tomb Raider 1
I used the version on the PC meant for use with Voodoo graphics cards. Some amazing person made a program that allows modern graphics cards to "understand" the calls for old Voodoo cards, so it runs great! I actually had difficulty playing the original version due to the graphics being so god-awful that it was hard to tell what was a switch and what was normal wall. I love this type of older unforgiving game. You screw up, well no help for you--so satisfying. This game gets weird at the end. Really weird.
Tomb Raider 2
Great improvements over 1. Great story and music. I actually used a program to replace the textures in this (not cheating) with textures ripped from the iOS remake of TR2. Tomb Raider 2 never looked so good. Unforgiving like the first game and really a pleasure to play.
