TR1: The First Time Was The Best

Archived from groups: alt.games.tombraider (More info?)

I purchased and then gave away TR1 twice before discovering Stella's
page and getting to grips with it. I felt fear when the wolves
attacked me in packs of four. I was devastated when Lara (me) drowned.
Gaining mastery over the various movements was exhilarating. I did not
believe I could kill T-rex in The Lost Valley. I also discovered this
group and felt that I had missed out on the beginning of TR.

Then I bought TR2. I hated it. I had mastery of Lara's moves. It was
more of the same. It was like a sequel to a much loved movie. I
especially hated the fact that it played much more like a shoot'em up.

And so I gave up raiding. Tho' obviously I am back and it is because
my nieces have a copy of TR and I am helping them through it.

The opening of the South Pacific level must be one of the most beautiful
scenes in the series. I had fun making Lara swim around to explore again and
again as I reloaded the level. TR3 had me more nervous than when I played
TR! and TR2 as I knew what enemies were coming and what to expect. Spoilers
like these contributed to me finishing the game faster than expected and
made me play it over and over again. Worth it though, considering the money
I spent on it.

I must say that I like all the games so far, even TRAOD (mostly... except
for the action of moving about when getting out a weapon to fire at an
enemy).
