help Tomb Raider FAQ
What is Lara Croft actually searching for in the 1996 Tomb Raider?
Lara is hired by Jacqueline Natla to recover pieces of the Scion of Atlantis. The search takes her through Peru, Greece, Egypt, and Atlantis, with the story eventually revealing Natla's own connection to the artifact.
Why do people mention the tank controls when talking about the first Tomb Raider?
The 1996 game uses grid-like movement and tank controls, so Lara turns and jumps with very deliberate timing. That control scheme is central to how Core Design built its platforming puzzles on PlayStation, Sega Saturn, and PC.
Is Tomb Raider I-III Remastered a replacement for playing the original?
Tomb Raider I-III Remastered keeps the first three Core Design games and adds modern visual options and control choices. It is useful if you want the 1996 game without fighting old PC setup issues, but the original look and level layouts are still part of the package.
How does the first Tomb Raider connect to Tomb Raider: Anniversary?
Tomb Raider: Anniversary is Crystal Dynamics' 2007 remake of the 1996 game. It retells the Scion and Natla story with Legend-era movement, so it plays very differently from the original despite sharing the same basic plot.
