Tomb Raider

Tomb Raider is a video game for PC, PlayStation and Sega Saturn developed by Core Design. It was released in 1996. Tomb Raider follows the exploits of Lara Croft, a female archaeologist from Britain in search of ancient treasures. The game is considered to be among the best and most influential games ever made. It spawned numerous sequels and an entire franchise of related media.

After Lara Croft returns from a hunting trip in the Himalayas, she is contacted by Jacqueline Natla, a conniving businesswoman who convinces Lara to recover a mysterious artifact from the tomb of Qualopec in Peru. Wasting no time, Lara sets out on her quest to find one of the three pieces of the ancient Atlantean Scion, a talisman of incredible power. However after discovering the fragment, things get ugly when Lara finds herself face to face with one of Natla's hired goons. Using her cunning wits and athletic strength, Lara escapes. As she delves into the reasons why Natla would double-cross her, she uncovers a mystery that reaches back before the dawn of recorded time to the treachery that destroyed the Atlantean civilization and the disasters that struck the world when it fell.
