After first appearing in 1996 in Tomb Raider, Lara Croft became widely known as the chasm-clearing, dual-pistol-slinging, intelligent heroine of PS1 platformers. In search of artifacts buried deep within ancient Egyptian tombs, classic Lara's fame was a result of her gunning down dinosaurs and narrowly evading spiked traps with no sweat. If she wasn't doing those things, she would be flipping puzzle switches or excavating treasures from forgotten worlds.
