-TR1 is basically unplayable due to very poor graphics
-The music files are still absent, ruining much of the atmosphere
-no revisions or updates or patches have been made - these are unimproved 1996 era games

and, worst of all, none of the technical patches work, including the XP/Vista/7 Multipatch Installer, because they do not authenticate the Greatest Raids DVD as the 'TR2' CD etc.

I wanted to warn potential buyers of the serious issues with this re-issue, and wonder if anybody has updated or hacked the patches so that they can be used with this disc?

cheers

I'm pretty sure there have been fixes, though I don't have firsthand knowledge of them... Someone will be along soon to help though.
