The good thing about not seeing her mansion's garden in TR1 (except for the front on the loading screen and FMV) is that you can decide how YOU want it to be yourself. In your mind of course. I thought I'd start a thread so you can tell us your ideas of how you imagine her garden:D I'll start:

Firstly I imagine her front gate to be a bit smaller than it is on TR2 because it looks smaller on the loading screen. And also the pond would be in the centre, where her drive is supposed to be.
Secondly I imagine a huge lot of grounds with lots of green grass and hardly any walls. Just walls round the outside of her garden.
Now I'm getting onto the back of her garden where you can't see at all:D
Thirdly I think there would be a few ponds, judging by the textures in the windows (I think it look like ponds outside:p)
Also there is no Assault course because she told us she built that in her year off after TR1. (Tells you at the start of her Mansion in TR2)
There are mud ramps for her to practise on her blue motorbike:D but no walls on the ouside of it. It's all in the open.
An outside swimming pool, which will soon be attached to her assault course which will soon be built (The one where you swim under the bridge, near the zipline). But just a plane swimming pool for now.
And maybe a load of maze's for her training of non-lenier adventures:p

So TR1's garden hasen't got as much features as TR2 or 3's garden, but has loads of space to ride her motorbike and add more things to it.

Now I want to hear what you imagine Lara's garden as in TR1.
Please note that this is about the classic mansion. We already know what the Legend Manor's garden looks like in 1996;)

I'd like lara's garden to include target practice like in the movie where she is riding on a horse and shoots the moving targets and maybe she could use a motorbike or something. in TRL she shoots while on the motorbike in 2 levels

What a coincidence! I've been working on the Classic Manor for TRA: Retold, and I've included almost all of those ideas without even reading this topic! :p

Hehe maybe I need to think of ideas that are less original then:ton:

BTW people I tried to keep my list as plain as I could, because the TR1 garden shouldn't be better than the TR2 garden IMO and in my imagination lol. Else it would be like saying "Lara doesn't know the difference between improvement and errr plain stupid" lol:D

It's not quite ready for screenshots yet, but I have to say that driving around Croft Manor on a motorbike is great fun! Especially indoors. :mis:

i think there should be the assault course under construction. That would make it quite a nice feel since its in contrast with the grandness of the manor.

also i think a summer pagoda or a meeting area would be nice...so we can have a nice SummerBreezefeel comingthrough (lol)
this is possible in the trle but we need people who can actually do it well....<goes to plan his manor)

Yes:D I love driving vehicles in her house.

Yeah thats a good idea actually:tmb: I'd love to try and complete an unfinishes assault course!

Hehe that would be great for the training area of her garden. Or are you talking about crocs walking around scott free in her house? LOL:D

it would be cool if the crocs could climb out of the water
-and chase winston around:p
it would create more of an interesting challenge to try to catch them

Hmm...her garden would have a collection of all the deadliest plants known to man, and would be littled with a plethora of nasty little animals to complement the plants. And a few death traps here and there, and her pet Yeti as well. Also, it would have at its center all of the artifacts she's found in the 8 games (well 7). That would be a kick-a garden!:D

Sounds great to me! I'm not sure about the Yeti-pet though, lol. It's very Lara to have all these dangerouse plants in her garden. :D

I always thought Laras garden would have lots of fancy bushes cut into fancy shapes like spheres..etc.
