I'm past the due date for this blog but I just wanted to chip in anyway.

I actually got started the first day Tomb Raider 1 came on Playstation 1, However I didn't actually own it at that time; a friend that got it the day it came out brought it over and I started playing it non-stop they saw that I was liking it soo much that they decided to just let me borrow it even though they had just gotten it. I played the game non-stop and right when I got to the last boss they brought their little brother over and as I was fighting the boss they took out the disc and broke it That was absolutely ridiculous I didn't have a job back then I was 11; So I started working for anyone that needed some help getting money but it took me a year to finally get the money and then Tomb Raider 2 was about to come out and I was like must have. So I ended up getting that one instead I freak'in loved the boat part and the quads, and the snowmobile Anyway I beat I beat that one pretty fast (it's what happens when your addicted ) Then I saved up and got the 3rd game, Yep still hadn't beat the first.. and went through that one, after that I think that is when I got Tomb Raider 1 gold edition and finally beat it! Then since then I also played Tomb Raider 4 on playstation but after that I started to get them on PC because I saw people were making levels and outfits and So since then I have been getting them on PC owned and beat all of them so far! Including many user created levels!

Asides from the games I also was collecting every freak'in picture or drawing I found online of her clothed or not I was obsessed! Then a tragedy happened.. to my hard drive and I lost it all! All the pictures and movies I had gotten of her That was a devastating blow to me.

So that really left me sad so I stopped collecting photos and drawings for a long while but I picked up all the Tomb Raider novels and comic books! pretty confident I have them all, and not only do I have them all separately; I also have the compendium edition which is missing some but still cool
I also have some figures of her and did a resin build and paint of her. I wish I could get more of the figures but I'm poor I would also love love love to have a life size statue of her like they had at the stores! I've also collected the Giant Art of Tomb Raider coffee book, but the corner of the outer box got damaged in the mail but the inside ones are still good
Oh I also have a bunch of the Tomb Raider card game cards and junk but only tried playing the card game once or twice.
Obviously I also have the movies!
I have begun recollecting photos and art work and cgi clips and stuff of her again.. but that hard hit to my hard drive still has me bummed out to this day because I can't find everything I had before even though I've searched high and low.

So presently I am a little disappointed that the PC version of the next game is not sold in the USA in physical form; but I'm getting it shipped from the UK because I really want the PC version with all the extras; I ended up pre-ordering the Survival Edition even though I'd really like the Collectors but like I said I'm poor Wish I had money for sooo much more Tomb Raider collectibles makes me a bit sad that I don't have the money but I make the best of what I have I really would like to also have the Comic book that comes with the bestbuy pre-order.. I want it sooo bad *wah!*
Anyway keep on Raiding!

Also if anyone is around USA CT and wants to model as Lara Croft for photos let me know; It'd be awesome

Happy anniversary!!!



...my story? Oh my god - that's long ago. I was 7 when my dad played the first game on the PS1 and we both totally fell in love with it. I think, there's not a single moment in any of the games I haven't watched him playing. I must say, I had some nightmares of the Great Wall when we were on pt2, but I "made my own level" for pt3(drew a map book of a Souther Pacific quest with all artefacts and hidden caves along the river aso, aso - all with colour pencils. XD I still have it somewhere. It's about 10 pages thick and I bound it myself even). That was also when I got obsessed with London. And I think, I still have egyptian sand in some of my old slippers. When Chronicles came out, I finally started my own "career" in the games and went for pt1. By the end of Legend I had caught up with my dad, basically because I had refused giving him any more advices. XD (he's good at solving riddles and fighting enemies, but it's mainly been me to find the things that eventually would lead to his success. >.>)
Goodies? Well, if you call the book I drew a goodie, well, I have one! ^^ And I once transformed a hand-size doll with long dark brown hair into Lara by sewing her those tiny clothes and a rucksack. My dad made the belt from a broad cable fixer. XD Must have that doll somewhere as well, but hidden in the depths of my room's jungle. I also bought myself round sunglasses because of Lara and when my mum and I went to Petra in Jordan, I wore them along with my hair in a braid and some adventurous clothes. Unfortunately she doesn't have a digital camera and my scanner died. Otherwise I would have uploaded the photos here already.
Anyway, the most recent event in my Tomb Raider history was when I found a deluxe edition CD of pt2 for PC in the plastic container. I checked it for damage, cleaned it, installed it on my laptop and - IT WORKS!!!! Guess, who's in it again. XD

YAY!" Happy anniversary! the Best TR group!

well,can't get into too much detail,or the post will be huge!

I started playing when I was 4! My dad brought home a demo CD of TR1 and I played the same level over and over,then he bought Tomb Raider 2(came on a game magazine) and it was my very first original copy of an Tomb Raider game and I keep it safe until today!As years passed,I was more obessed with Lara than ever! I loved her,she had all the right features! I made my whole family like her!When I got my Tomb raider 3 copy my mom,dad,and sister all gathered around to help me figure out what to do,I have so much happy memories!When AOD was announced I was jawdroped and I seriously needed to get the game as fast as I could,but it took very long until I got it,but it was worthy it and it remains on my list of favourite TR game!And finally when crystal took over and I saw the Legend version I was sure crazy!I got all the magazines about the game and I heve millions of posters! Now I can't wait for the reboot because I think this will be crystal dynamics masterpiece and will be one of the most memorable TR games EVER!
