TOMB RAIDER

The first game in the series lacks in graphics, but has a good storyline, and some very thrilling sequences.

Introduction: A nuclear explosion in Los Alamos, New Mexico hurled a piece of artifact to the sky where it landed in an undisclosed desert valley. From a hotel in Calcutta, Larson delivers a message to Lara Croft using a laptop computer link, live from Natla's office. Lara is given the job of finding an artifact called the Scion. The artifact supposedly contains " unknown powers" from Atlantis. Her first task is to go to Peru and into the City of Qualopec, an ancient Incan city, and find the first piece of the Scion. First Level: Along with a guide, Lara finds the entrance to the lost city. Upon opening the huge doors, several wolves attack the guide. After Lara killed all the wolves and found the guide dead, she enters the opening when the doors suddenly closes behind her. First Cut Scene (after the Tomb of Qualopec level): Larson tells Lara that Natla has sent Pierre to find the other 2 pieces of the Scion, disclosing the location, St. Francis' Folly. Afterwards, Larson tries to put the hurt on Lara but she gets the better of him. Lara goes to Natla's headquarters, breaks in and looks for the information on where to get the next piece of the Scion. Second Cut Scene (after the Tomb of Tihocan level): Lara is reading an Egyptian hieroglyphics both from the wall and the cover of a tomb. After holding the 2 pieces of the Scion together, she is suddenly pulled into a dream about Atlantis; a scene of ancient rituals. The dream shows her where the last piece is located... in the ruins of ancient Egypt. Riding a motorcycle, she heads speedily to find the last piece. Third Cut Scene (after the Sanctuary of the Scion level): Coming out of the cave and blinded by the sun, Natla's hired companions sneak up on Lara. One of them, the Cowboy, takes Lara's pistols and the 3 pieces of the Scion. The Cowboy shows the Scion to Natla and she orders them to kill Lara. However, Lara eludes them by jumping off the cliff into the river. Once Natla and her companions drive away, Lara rides her motorcycle and chases them. She then arrives by a pier, finding out that Natla's party have boarded a yacht and are about to leave. Using her bike, she speeds up towards shore and jumps into the water, swimming towards the yacht, avoiding Natla's bodyguards and sneaking aboard the boat. Once in the boat, she goes inside a stow away and sleeps. When she wakes up, the yacht has stopped next to an island. Natla's Mines: The scene begins with Natla placing the Scion in an ancient table, suspended by a magnetic field, when it suddenly turns and activates a count down timer. The mountain collapses revealing the pyramid of Atlantis. The Great Pyramid: As Lara approaches the same table where Natla placed the scion earlier, she falls into another dream; rituals of the old Atlantis with Natla being accused of stealing the Scion for personal powers. When she steps back, Natla confronts her regarding the power of the Scion. As the countdown elapses, Lara pulls the pistols when Natla pushes here towards the edge. Lara manages to grab the ledge on the opposite side while Natla falls to her death. Suddenly, the piece on top of the wall moves. Ending: When Lara escapes from the Pyramid, Atlantis explodes. As our heroine swims towards the yacht and drives away, our story ends.
