The Tomb Raider Awards!
 
OK, I had this idea last night to do something like this for each game. So, basically, it's like any awards thing - there are categories, and you vote for what you think should be the winner of each category.

There is also a [URL="http://www.tombraiderforums.com/showthread.php?t=182692"]thread with new categories[/URL] for this Awards thread. :D Here are links to the other awards topics:

Anyway, here are the categories and their nominations:

[B][I][SIZE="4"]Best Level[/SIZE][/I][/B]

Pretty much self-explanatory - which level is your favorite? Here's the list, in case anybody can't remember them all:

1. Caves
2. City of Vilcabamba
3. The Lost Valley
4. Tomb of Qualopec
5. St. Francis Folly
6. Colosseum
7. Palace Midas
8. Cistern
9. Tomb of Tihocan
10. City of Khamoon
11. Obelisk of Khamoon
12. Sanctuary of the Scion
13. Natla's Mines
14. Atlantis
15. The Great Pyramid

[SIZE="4"][B][I]Best Chapter[/I][/B][/SIZE]

Or section, whatever you want to call it. Like "Best Level," which chapter is your favorite? Here they are in case you don't remember them:

Peru
Greece
Egypt
Atlantis

[SIZE="4"][B][I]Best Enemy[/I][/B][/SIZE]

OK, this one's a bit tougher to list all of the nominations... keep in mind that boss battles don't count here, as they have a separate category by themselves. I consider human enemies boss battles, too, so they're in the next category. Here are all of the enemies I came up with for Tomb Raider 1... if I'm missing any, please let me know. :D

- Bat
- Wolf
- Bear
- Raptor
- Lion
- Gorilla
- Crocodile
- Rat
- Centaur
- Panther
- Mummy
- Mutant
- Flying Mutant

[SIZE="4"][B][I]Best Boss Battle[/I][/B][/SIZE]

As I said above, all human enemies are counted here (I considered Larson as one boss battle, even though you fight him twice).

- T-Rex
- Larson
- Pierre
- Cowboy
- The Kid (skateboard dude)
- Kold (guy with shotgun)
- Abomination/Torso Boss
- Natla

[B][I][SIZE="4"]Best Music Theme[/SIZE][/I][/B]

This one took some work. I had to put my Tomb Raider disc in the computer to hear all of the tracks again. I don't think TR1 or TR2 have actual names for their tracks, so I kind of used ones from a music guide on GameFAQs (below)... if you still don't know what track I'm talking about, I included a location where it can be heard. The number indicates what track they are on the disc, when you insert it into the computer. Here's the link to the Music Guide I got some help from, mostly on locations:

[URL="http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps/199040-tomb-raider/faqs/18517"]http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps/199040-tomb-raider/faqs/18517[/URL]

Note that several of the tracks are not in the nominees... the ambient tracks and the shortened version of Lara's theme. I figured that the two tracks should be combined into one, since they're practically the same thing.

[COLOR="Blue"]1. "Lara's Theme"[/COLOR]
(plays at the title screen, temple at City of Vilcabamba)

[COLOR="blue"]2. "An Abandoned Chamber"[/COLOR]
(when you enter the Neptune room, or the very beginning of Natla's Mines)

[COLOR="blue"]5. "Evading Danger"[/COLOR]
(when you pick up the Scion in Tomb of Qualopec, or enter the Thor room)

[COLOR="blue"]6. "Tomb Beauty"[/COLOR]
(when you enter the tower room in St. Francis Folly)

[COLOR="blue"]7. "Battle in the Ancient Courtyard"[/COLOR]
(when you encounter the pair of wolves beyond the bear pit in Caves, or the gorilla room near the beginning of St. Francis Folly)

[COLOR="blue"]8. "A Trapped Hallway"[/COLOR]
(when you enter the hallway with swinging axes in the City of Vilcabamba)

[COLOR="blue"]9. "The Plot Thickens/Ruins of a Lost Civilization"[/COLOR]
(when you enter the colosseum, the room with Midas' hand, or the giant sphinx chamber)

[COLOR="blue"]12. "Secret"[/COLOR]
(the secret sound... thought I'd throw this one in, since it is quite a memorable sound)

[COLOR="blue"]14. "Age Old Artifact"[/COLOR]
(when you pick up the machine cog on the rocks in the cave, or the cog on the other side of the bridge)

[COLOR="blue"]15. "Surprise Attack"[/COLOR]
(when the lone wolf charges you near the end of Caves, or when the t-rex charges you in the Lost Valley... memories :))

[COLOR="blue"]16. "Another Deserted Place"[/COLOR]
(before crossing the broken bridge in Lost Valley, or beyond the door that requires two keys in Tomb of Tihocan)

[COLOR="blue"]17. "Derelict Mechanism"[/COLOR]
(after you flip the switch next to the cog machine, or when you reach the front of Tihocan's tomb with the two centaur statues)

[COLOR="blue"]19. "More Danger"[/COLOR]
(it only plays twice: when the lion attacks you on the upper walkway of Palace Midas, or when you fight two mummies on the floor of a room in Obelisk of Khamoon)

[SIZE="4"][B][I]Best Trap[/I][/B][/SIZE]

This one is harder to list nominations for... basically, I'm going to leave this one up to you guys. Pick one trap (boulders, swinging axes, spikes, whatever) that you think is the most clever one... yeah.

[SIZE="4"][B][I]Best Secret[/I][/B][/SIZE]

Once again, I don't think I really need to list any here. If you'd like me to list each of the secrets, just ask and I'll find time to list them all here.

[B][I][SIZE="4"]Best Weapon[/SIZE][/I][/B]

There are only four in this game:

- Pistols
- Shotgun
- Magnums
- Uzis

[B][I][SIZE="4"]Best Item[/SIZE][/I][/B]

Ahh, this is another difficult one. Here's a list of every item in the game, and where you can find it (some of them appear more than once).

- Silver Key (City of Vilcabamba, Cistern)
- Gold Idol (City of Vilcabamba)
- Machine Cog (The Lost Valley)
- Scion (Tomb of Qualopec, Tomb of Tihocan, Sanctuary of the Scion)

- Neptune Key (St. Francis Folly)

- Scarab (Obelisk of Khamoon, Sanctuary of the Scion)

- Fuse (Natla's Mines)

[B][I][SIZE="4"]Worst Level[/SIZE][/I][/B]

Same nominees as "Best Level," only you're picking your least favorite one.

[B][I][SIZE="4"]Toughest Level[/SIZE][/I][/B]

Same nominees as "Best Level," only you're picking the one you think is hardest.

[B][I][SIZE="4"]Toughest Secret[/SIZE][/I][/B]

Once again, the same nominees as "Best Secret," only you're voting on which one you think is toughest to collect.

[SIZE="4"][B][I]Best Room[/I][/B][/SIZE]

Added this at the request of a user, and it's quite a good category. Of course, this category has no specific list, since there's like... tons of rooms in the game.

Well... that's it for the categories! If I think of any more, I'll add them in here. I'll keep the topic open for votes for two weeks or so, and then move on to Tomb Raider 2. I hope everybody participates! :D
