I've never played that game before. And it was quite a challenge for me O:
I still need to replay it, i want all secrets...
It really freaked me out more than once! *_*
And it's one of my favorites now ;)

Unfinished Business was kind of a holy grail to me because, for years, I only had a PSOne :(. I'd see the UB box in PC World and it would depress me like you wouldn't believe. But then I got a PC :D

Unfinished Business is a brilliant addition that rounds off the original game really well. The levels are excellently designed, they're fiendish in a way the normal levels aren't.

Glad you like it and enjoyed it too Alex :tmb:

I played it last year - really enjoyable. Some of it was pretty tricky - the broken tile jumps etc. Some jumps from eg one opening to another in a wall seemed impossible and I had to get help online exactly where to stand because the distances seemed too great. All in all though it was a lot of fun and I just HAD to find another TR levels game since I'd finished them all :D

Temple of the cat levels (the first two levels) are really adventure, although at some points scary.

The other two levels are freaky, with lots of Athlanteans. When I played The Hibe for the first time (almost 10 years ago), it was really scary in several rooms with those beasts and mutants - and even more harder than Atlantis level in original Tomb Raider.

As far as I remember, TRUB levels were designed to have 3D hardware support for some cards - I had S3 3D with 4MB RAM at that time and hardware filtering was working properly in pure DOS. This was more attractive than TR1 original.

No doubt, TRUB is great addition to TR1 original :)

My UB disk (disc 2 in the extended TR1+UB set) came with a TOMB.EXE for TR1 to play the original game using hardware acceleration as well :) All you had to do is install TR1 normally, then copy the new TOMB.EXE on top on the original (usually on C:\TOMBRAID\TOMB.EXE) :D

Ah, the memories - that was the first time I replayed TR1 :D

The same TOMB.EXE (for Voodoo cards) is embedded into Tomb Raider Advanced Installer and works with dgVoodoo and Glidos via Glide emulation :)

That's the one I used to use :) I purchased a nice Voodoo 3 from a friend and that gave life to my crumbling old PC :D And I could play TR1 at full frame rate (when I first played it, I had to switch to lo-res in most big areas to be able to get a decent frame rate - my card had no acceleration and I had to play it using software render which was ugly and slow!)

The Voodoo 3's were awesome cards in their day. I still use one of them in an old machine. I also use the old Diamond Monster in a DOS machine, it was an add-on card that connected to your existing one to add the 3dfx technology for gaming. And they included UB (among other games)in it when I bought it all of those years ago... ;)
