I don’t have many nice memories of TR3, least of all this part 😧

😆 I love the originals, but TR3 is so dark don't you think? Flares for the sake of flares...

Lara was my first gaming love. Replaying these levels reminded me of the wonder and fun of a great game. It's amazing to contrast what I thought back then with the modern experience -what were your favorite moments in TR1? #TombRaider #GamingCommunity

Level 15 - The Great Pyramid (16/17)

Okay, it's Uzi time for the Natla showdown. By this stage in the remaster, I had so many health packs and ammunition for the big guns—I wasted her, no problem. Dawned on me that Lara is not just an adventurer, but also a murderer. #TR1

Level 14 - Atlantis (15/17)

Ah, the heartbeat sounds and flesh/tissue textures—not quite what I thought Atlantis would look like. Star of the show though is no-skin mirror doppelgänger Lara. Great puzzle. #TR1

Level 13 - Natla's Mines (14/17)

I have absolutely no recollection of this level whatsoever. Had to double-check it wasn't an addition for the remasters. Lara is a tomb person, not a mine explorer? The Natla logo is pretty sweet, but feels weird she can jump on the boat. #TR1

Level 12 - Sanctuary of the Scion (13/17)

Ah hello? a whole fucking sphinx? TRULY unbelievable. Also noticed some ammunition floating in the air there—hmm, I wonder...

Level 11 - Obelisk of Khamoon (12/17)

The Egypt levels are the best. Felt like the first level where you break the 'rules' of where you can jump. Okay, in hindsight, it's prob exactly what the devs wanted. Also, the panthers look crazy in the remaster. #TR1 #Adventure

Level 10 - City of Khamoon (11/17)

Hands down the best cutscene in the game—so cinematic, so Lara. And she's riding a motorbike—I can't wait to do that in this game! #ButNo

Level 9 - Tomb of Tihocan (10/17)

Okay, and now what the fuck is this thing? Centaur E.T. with a death explosion? This game is getting weird.

Level 8 - The Cistern (9/17)

Probably the most fun level. Water levels rising and falling, changing the whole way of navigating the room? Excuse? I hated the rats. #TombRaiderRemastered

Level 7 - Palace Midas (8/17)

I couldn't wait to jump on Midas's hand in the remastered version. The first time discovering it, suspecting what might happen, and then it actually happening? Iconic. #TombRaider #GamingMemories

Level 6 - Colosseum (7/17)

In the originals, the other side of the Colosseum wasn't rendered/darkened, making the room feel huge. Queue the mystery music, then all the lions and gorillas. Peak gaming #TR1 #Nostalgia

Level 5 - St. Francis' Folly (6/17)

Swords coming down in the Damocles room. Learning maybe best not to just run at full speed in to every room. #TombRaider #Gaming
November 14, 2024 at 12:32 AM
Level 4 - Tomb of Qualopec (5/17)

Thoughts: 'Okay, so it's just willy-nilly velociraptors now?' Also, the horrible writing and accent on Larson: 'I'll heel an' hide ye to a barn door yit'.
November 14, 2024 at 12:32 AM
Level 3 - Lost Valley (4/17)

I mean—the T-Rex, obviously. Convinced I needed to save ammo for later in the game; exclusively used pistols the whole game like a fool. Also, discovering that Lara could swan dive, then diving into the waterfall/rocks below. #TR1 #Gaming
November 14, 2024 at 12:32 AM
Level 2 - City of Vilcabamba (3/17)

That first room with the fucking bear. Backflip, backflip, panic roll, backflip, fuck, backflip. Clear genius by working out the levers puzzle with the obscured door combination.

Level 1 - Caves (2/17)

Those very first moments—Lara running—I couldn't believe how realistic it was. I KNEW we'd reached the pinnacle of gaming. I wondered what happened to the ponytail she was whipping about in the earlier cutscene. Also, pointy chest. #TombRaider #Gaming
