Tomb Raider Collection 1
SCORE: 65
I had some fun and some frustration playing Tomb Raider Collection 1
on the Evercade. This collection contains Tomb Raider, Tomb Raider II,
and Tomb Raider III. All three of these video games were on the original
Sony Playstation. I remember playing some of these Tomb Raider video
games back in the day. I also remember a real irritation, frustration
and aggravation over the controls.
Want to hear something crazy? I feel like the original and first Tomb
Raider is the best one. I live streamed all three of these video games
on our Twitch channel. That live stream is being processed into videos
for our video channels. I played more of the original Tomb Raider than
the sequels. I got farther in the original Tomb Raider than the sequels.
I liked the original better than the sequels.
The controls can be slow and sluggish in Tomb Raider Collection 1.
Especially when we must press left or right to slowly turn our character
to a different angle before moving the character forward. This was
exceptionally challenging when I needed to get from a switch to a door
quickly. Jumping can be a pain and a problem in Tomb Raider Collection
1. I got completely stuck near the beginning of the first area of Tomb
Raider II. I gave up on the game. I did research later that I needed to
figure out how to do a standing jump to get to that platform.
The graphics in Tomb Raider Collection 1 can hurt your eyes. Noah came
downstairs while I was playing Tomb Raider Collection 1 and made that
comment. It does not get much better in the sequels. In fact the third
game had solid looking ground that was actually some kind of a liquid.
It did not look any different. I found lots of ways to die in the third
game in Tomb Raider Collection 1.
If I ever go back and play any of the games in Tomb Raider Collection 1
it will be the first one. I like how we are not limited on our bullets
in Tomb Raider Collection 1. We can shoot animals forever. I do question
how these animals are alive while trapped in these dungeons? What are
they eating? Tomb Raider Collection 1 cost twenty-five dollars due to
the larger memory of the games.
