Price I paid: About $1.50 as part of a Tomb Raider bundle while it was on sale on Steam.
Available on: Steam (reviewed), PlayStation, PlayStation Store, Sega Saturn, GOG.com, and probably others.
Released: 1996
When a game is so old it cannot recognize a mouse and the
default controls have you using the arrow keys to move, it’s easy for it to
turn players off. When the port to PC is so shoddy it loads a black screen if
you don’t trouble shoot, I had to play it in windowed mode that didn’t take up
my whole screen, and it looks like you’re watching the cutscenes through
window blinds, it becomes difficult to enjoy the game because of all its
problems. So when I say that Tomb Raider (1996)
was one of the best games I played this year despite all of that, you better
believe this gem has not lost its shine after 19 years. Unfortunately, I’m just
not sure if I can recommend it because of how awful the port is.
