Hi. I know that it will most likely be hard to remember all the facts about the Tomb Raider games, since it has been ten years since the first Tomb Raider where Lara made her debut in the computers game world.

Anyway, What I have made this thread for is for people to state Facts about the Tomb Raider franchise.

My Fact: (I don't mean to be rude by saying this but)

Did you know that "Tomb Raider: Chronicles" and "Tomb Raider: Legend" are the only two games to not have showen laras breasts. on the cover art.

TR 1 is one of the most controversal games ever according to Gamspot and G4TV. Accroding to both Tomb Raider Raised the eyebrows of the gaming world, but made animal activists frown! Tomb Raider was one of the first games ever to shot and kill endangered animal speices! Animal Activist tried to ban tomb raider because of the killing of innocent animals.

LOL! Glad you cleared that up! I thought you were trying to say swollen! :eek: :vlol:

Animal activates!? Who cares if they are offended or even play TR! Line them up on my firing squad! :cen: It's a game for crying out loud, they are NOT real!!!!!!! Cracks me up that some twits care more about some silly animal than they do about people. They humanize them like they have the same thought proccess as us. I don't know whether to be insulted by that or just laugh. Animals pretty much work on instinct alone. Hungry=eat, sleepy=sleep, scared=fight or run, full=poop.

Funniest thing I saw, some PETA dweeb giving a construction worker a lecture on the evils of eating meat during a lunch break. The guy got up, yelled at the kid "Don't F with me while I'm eating!" I swear to god I thought the guy was gonna eat him! The kid was half his size and wearing a cow costume. I coulds just see the news that night. COW WEARING ACTIVIST EATEN BY CONSTRUCTION WORKER, NEWS AT 11..." :vlol:

i think it would be better to stop being able to kill animals in tomb raider because its kinda sad your made to when in reality these beautiful animals are dying out make me hate human race even more

i think animals should just run away when lara shoots the air instead of killing or they leave you alone until you **** them off instead of animals being an ememy in tomb raider

Thats not a bad idea, but to make it better, a lone animal, would run a mile when a pack would attack her

FACT
Lara's mansion was modeled after the front of the Derby Studios building where Core Design worked on the game

Maybe Lara can just do that thing Paul Hogan does in Crocodile dundee - she can become an T-rex whisperer or something, preferably via some long drawn out interactive cut scene. Or maybe they should just have ferocious snails chasing her and fluffy bunny rabbits instead. Maybe she should just check her guns in at the gun-check at the start of every temple! These creatures havent seen food in milennia - they are starving - its kill or be killed - why do think there are so many bloody skeletons everywhere :)
Save a species - Tickle -a- T-rex!!!

Bottom line : She has an empty, hidden Trophy Room - it needs filling!!

Well games have nothing really to do with reality, but no one said you had to kill them. Just to make the game harder.....you could do it without shooting them, just make sure you got a few extra medi packs. That second snow leapard in Nepal had a real mean temper

A guy robbed a person in their house, of only a copy of Legend for the PC, not his Xbox 360, not his computer, not his TV, not his Ipod... Just his copy of Legend.

I hope they threw him in the looney bin when they found him :)
Obviously some kind of metally deranged person

You want facts. It ony takes a bit of research on the net.

“Ian Livingstone — fantasy author, Eidos co-founder, and creator of Lara Croft —“

http://www.tombnews.com/movie/tombraider3/
“The creator of the game and character, Ian Livingstone told the newspaper that…”

http://www.gamesindustry.biz/press_release.php?aid=10754
“…said the creator of Lara Croft, Ian Livingstone.”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lara_Croft_Tomb_Raider:_The_Cradle_of_Life
Ian Livingstone, co-founder of Eidos and creator of Tomb Raider…

and there's many many more.

So why are you all taken in by this Toby Gard character? :)

Livingstone "created" Lara? :cln: He wrote Fighting Fantasy didn't he?

This is actually a good place to go for facts like this.

You can search for any game or any person to find out more details.
It's not always 100% but they do try.

Whats this Bandit is doing a snow job? Could there be a bone of contention here? Ian Livingstone's connection with Tomb Raider is through Eidos, but we all know Core Design created Tomb Raider, and Toby Gard created Lara Croft. Or at least until now he was credited with her creation, unless Bandit has some inside information otherwise
