Laras L3gend813 · 15-07-05, 22:05

I'm seriously board so I started to wonder, how did I first come across Tomb Raider?

I first came across it becuase of my Dad. He bought TR1 when I got my Playstaion.

What about you guys, why did you first pickup Tomb Raider?

The demo came with some magazine some years ago.
I re-played it like a dozen times and finally, my mom bought me the whole version

I didn't start to play the demos until TR3 came out. I must say though, the Area 51 level in it was boaring. Plus her sprint was very aquard. My favorite game on the demo disk was Med-Evil.

For me it all started with the TR1 demo.

I had played a few first person shooter games (oh yeah!

) like Blake Stone and Duke Nukem 3D, and one day as I was browsing a site with game demos, I spotted the TR1 demo. I thought, let's see what all this fuss is about!

That was it: I was hooked instanstly! Later I looked for the rest of the demos and then went on the hunt for the games in the market. I have played them zillions of times since then!

Ah, I was just lucky and I didn't even know what the internet was at that time due to me being like 4.

Got it together with my Saturn when I was 13 or 14, back in 97 (yeah, pretty late). Really wanted it after reading magazine reviews.
Twas a lovely Xmas playing Tomb Raider, NiGHTS and Panzer Dragoon Zwei. *g*

Its never too late to start playing Tomb Raider. I'm just happy that I've been playing since the day it hit shelves.

I dont remember where I heard about it, but I remember sitting in the computer lab at school not long after it came out and looking up online anywhere I could a demo for it..and trying to play it and dying..

But I never was able to buy it and really get into to it until I bought my first ps1 in 2001, used from a person I worked with. I bought it (the game) used, in fact I got all of them used.. and Even though I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, I was hooked and I had managed to get the other four games in under two years.. I get everything late, it seems. Better late than never, is what I say.

My brother was the one who discovered Miss Croft, actually. At that time, I think I was around 11 years old

can't remember exactly... but I do know that I was constantly looking at the game when my brother was playing it; it was such an exciting game! But my brother wouldn't let me play it, yet

.

But one year later, I finally had the opportunity to play TR1 (my brother was no longer interested in Lara

can you believe that?) and from then on I got hooked to Lara

. I almost immediately bought TR2 when it hit the shelves, and then TR3 and so on, 'till I had them all lol.

It was actually TR2 that influenced me. Because the first TR game I had was TR2 for PS and I loved it. Couldn't stop playing it. So I went to the shops again when I could finally leave my beloved TR2 without me for a few hours, lol, and I saw TR1 for PC so I brought it. I think I was 8 or 9 then.
