Of the countless fictional personalities that transcend gaming, only a few reach legendary status. Master Chief, Mario, Nathan Drake, and Princess Zelda have adventures that are known to fans all over the world. Few would dispute that Lara Croft of the Tomb Raider series belongs among the greats, with her origins on the original PlayStation console spawning several critically and commercially successful stories. Croft's influence in the 1990s was huge, being one of the best and most championed female protagonists in the industry who inspired the likes of Jade from Beyond: Good and Evil, and even Nathan Drake in the Uncharted franchise.
