Tomb Raider follows the story of Lara Croft, an archaeologist who embarks on a perilous journey to retrieve three parts of the Atlantean Scion from ancient tombs in Peru, Greece, Rome, and Egypt. Betrayed by her employer, Lara must navigate treacherous environments, avoid deadly enemies, and solve puzzles to reach her goal before the powerful device falls into the wrong hands.
Tomb Raider is a 3D action game that combines platforming and puzzle-solving elements, where players control Lara Croft from a third-person perspective. The game features detailed environments, environmental obstacles, and deadly fauna, requiring players to climb, jump, and swim through levels while solving puzzles and opening passageways.
Players can arm Lara with twin pistols or higher caliber weapons to take on human opponents, and also find restorative health packs and a compass to aid in navigation. However, Lara's opponents range from animals to primeval and supernatural beings, making careful exploration and trap avoidance essential.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This action-adventure game follows Lara Croft, an aristocratic explorer who, after a life-altering plane crash, dedicates herself to uncovering ancient civilizations. Players guide Lara as she travels the globe, using her wits and skills to survive dangerous environments and uncover historical secrets.
Story
INTRODUCTION
Lara Croft, daughter of Lord Henshingly Croft, was raised to be an aristocrat from birth. After attending finishing school at the age of 21, Lara's marriage into wealth had seemed assured.
However, on her way home from a skiing trip, her chartered plane crashed deep in the heart of the Himalayas. As the only survivor, Lara learned how to depend on her wits to stay alive in hostile conditions, a world away from her sheltered upbringing.
Two weeks later, when she walked into the village of Tokakeriby, her experiences had had a profound effect on her. Unable to stand the claustrophobic, suffocating atmosphere of upper-class British society, she realized that she was only truly alive when she was travelling alone.
Over the following 8 years, she acquired an intimate knowledge of ancient civilizations across the globe. Her family soon disowned their prodigal daughter, and she turned to writing to fund her trips. Famed for dis-

Actions
Running
Pressing Up moves Lara forward at a running pace. Pressing Down makes Lara jump back a short distance. Pressing Left or Right turns Lara Left or Right.
Walking
By pressing the walk button in conjunction with the up and down directional buttons, Lara can carefully walk forwards or backwards. While the walk button is held down, Lara will not fall off any edge. If you walk up to an edge, Lara will automatically stop.
Side Steps
Side Step Left and Right buttons do exactly as you might imagine.
Picking Objects Up
Lara can retrieve objects and store them in her inventory. Position Lara so that the object you want to retrieve is in front of her feet. Press the X button and she will pick it up.
Using Switches
Position Lara so that the switch is in front of her. Press the X button and she will use it.
Using Puzzle Items/Keys
Position Lara so that the object receptor is in front of her. Press the X button and the item ring will appear. Left and Right will allow you to select the object you want to try, and pressing X again will use it.
Pushing/Pulling Objects
Lara can push certain blocks around and use them to climb up to greater heights. Stand in front of the block and hold Down X. Lara will get into her ready stance.
Once she is ready, press backwards to pull the block, and forwards to push it. If you decide you no longer wish to carry on with this task, simply release the X button.
Looking Around
Pressing the look button will return the camera to directly behind Lara, whatever the camera is currently doing. With the look button held down, the direction buttons allow Lara to look around her.
Once you let go of the button, the view returns to normal. If you are trying to line Lara up for a jump and the camera is in an awkward position, pressing just the look button on its own will show you exactly what direction she is facing.
Swimming
Underwater
If Lara finds a pool of water, she can jump in and have a jolly good swim around. Lara can hold her breath for about two minutes. If she is still underwater after the air meter runs out, she'll take damage until she drowns.
Pressing up, down, left, or right makes Lara rotate in that direction. Pressing and holding Jump makes Lara swim.
Lara can pull levers and pick up objects underwater. Just position Lara as close as you can and press X.
Swimming on the Surface
Left and Right will rotate her, up and down make her swim forward and backward. You can also use the side step actions to swim Left or Right when on the water's surface.
Pressing jump will make Lara dive under the surface again. Pressing X when Lara is close to an edge will make her climb out.
Diving
To dive, preferably into water, simply hold the Walk button while also holding the jump button, finally pressing the up directional button. This move has no real advantage over jumping into the water other than it looks great!
Attacking
Lara starts the game carrying two pistols. Later in the game she may find some extra weapons.
Shooting
Press draw and Lara will draw her guns. If Lara sees something she doesn't like the look of, she will point her guns at it. If there are multiple enemies, Lara will lock on to different targets, choosing the best one as she sees fit.
