This week let’s jump to the past with this game! So nostalgic!
Always in video!
This week it’s not a RPG but an action game called “Tomb Raider”.
Who never heard about Lara Croft?! The sexiest female in video ever made, elevated to a Cultural Icon for all gamers.

Enigmas, exploration, shooting, platform and Lara are the ingredients of Tomb Raider.

Tomb Raider - Tomb of Qualopec
Developer : Core Design
Type : Platform, Action, Exploration.
Platform : PlayStation, PC, Mac, Sega Saturn
Release Date : 1996
Upon its release in 1996, Tomb Raider was widely praised by gaming magazines for its revolutionary graphics, inventive gameplay, and involving storyline. The level of sophistication Tomb Raider reached by combining state-of-the-art graphics, an atmospheric soundtrack, and a cinematic approach to gameplay was at the time unprecedented. The resulting sales were consequential, topping the British charts a record three times, and contributing much to the success of the PlayStation. In the previous year, Eidos Interactive had recorded a nearly $2.6 million in pre-tax loss. The success of the game turned this loss into a $14.5 million profit in only a year.
Also many times adapted in Cinema.

Me? :
For me, games will cost always more, will be more and more expensive and will become more and more boring, repetitive (Generally, except some cases) but more and more realistic. That result makes me think that I have to share with you my best experience ever had in video games.
I’ve stared playing video games at ~11years old (1996-1997) on NES or Atari ST. (I can’t remember exactly). 10 years of hardcore gaming, I’m taking a break now :p
