Worth pointing out that 'Starring Lara Croft' makes an appearance in the Golden Mask backdrop, it's also present in the US version as well. See image 1.
While Golden Mask is technically an Edios game and not Core, there's also this image extracted from Tomb2.exe, it's called 'demo' and is shown after quitting the demo. See image 2. Last edited by ATombRaiderFan; 01-03-24 at 18:17. |

I think the point is not whether it is on the box, but whether it is actually part of the title/subtitle or more of a celebrity byline. "This show, featuring/starring this media personality that you may or may not have heard of but we hope will entice you to watch".

It's classic brand recognition. People that played TR1 in '96 would've seen TR2 a year later and it would be like "Hmm.. Tomb Raider... Lara Croft... Oh yeah, that's that game from last year that I liked! Wow, a sequel already?! I'm sold!" |

I actually thought it was Tomb Raider 2: The Dagger of Xian as well.
I do remember my original PS1 copy did get damaged and I had to buy another one so I wonder if that one had The Dagger of Xian on the box like the Italian cover? |

I think there was a logo that was unused and it was titled as Tomb Raider 2 the dagger of Xian
