Tomb Raider: The Movie Posters from Artselect

If you're a big fan of the Tomb Raider series and the movie, this is a poster company that caters for people like yourself. The stuff they make is pretty snazzy due to a long life material that it's made of and a clever system of hanging it up (you don't have to put holes in it with tacks). So if you're after a poster that'll last as long as you will (imagine how much it'd be worth when you're 80!), this is probably your best bet.

Cheat Heaven

This is a good UK based cheat page for multiple platforms including also the X-Box, Saturn and Game Boy. Well worth a look if you're after cheats for all major platforms.

EIDOS Interactive

I don't think this company would need any introduction because they are (as you already would have noticed) the publishers and distributors of the Tomb Raider series. However, at their site there is information on the releases of their latest games, downloadable demos, mini-games to play online, some good links, and a free ISP for those in the UK.

EIDOS Interactive Japan

The name suggests it all, but you may find some cool Japanese games. (Or you may be Japanese and want a Japanese copy of Tomb Raider) You will need some Japanese fonts though.

Game Winners

This is a members site, so you'll have to sign in, but it does have good community support from its members. They cover all major platforms including the Saturn, so it might be worth signing up if you're having a hard time getting cheats.

Laracroftonline.com

For anyone who's interested in Tomb Raider, this is now the most fashionable place to go, with chat rooms, news, downloads, you name it, this is your one stop shop. The chat room there is probably the most popular TR chat room on the net, it's certainly worth a gander!

Lara's Guns for Sale

I did not expect this, this is just plain cool! Someone emailed me and asked for a link, well I looked at the page and was amazed, it's just so hardcore! You can buy replica BB guns of the guns used by Lara in the film, that's pretty darn cool, you've gotta admit! :-)

Lara's Website

Yes, of course there's something like this in existence. This is all of her personal information that we've 'always wanted to know'. Where does she live, how tall is she, does she suffer from a yeast infection? She even has her own clothing merchandise. "Gordon Bennett" you say? Well I couldn't agree more but Eidos have got to cash in on the craze somehow and what better way than selling T-Shirts with "Hey, Big Boy" written on them to spotty fourteen year-old boys called Norman?

Lynn Hendricks' Home

This is a rather good website for walkthroughs in particular, even having a walkthrough for Colour GameBoy under construction. (So far, Temple A has been covered in this walkthrough.)

PC PowerPlay

I know it's nothing to do with Tomb Raider but this is one of the best PC magazines in existence. It has in depth reviews that steer away from wow factor and rate games purely on their core gameplay, plus they have a fantastic hardware section. Give this magazine a look if you live in Australia or New Zealand or check out their website (I didn't get paid to say this by the way, I'm just a big fan).

The Cat's Whiskers

Yes, I know this isn't about Tomb Raider either (I promise I won't do many links that aren't about Tomb Raider) but this is a young page that could do with some support. It's a place for those who are interested in showing off their art, plus a few extras here and there. Give it a squiz if you're interested eh?

The Croft Times

This is fantastic for only good Tomb Raider links. You won't find anything that could be described as twaddle. Actually there's plenty of twaddle but better twaddle than most. Check it out if you are bored and need some brillo links.

The Croft Times (international version)

The international version of the Croft Times if you're not a native English speaker.

The Last Revelation.net

This is one of several linked sites (one being the Chronicles sight below) that has single-game specific info. They have savegames, multiple-platform cheats, FAQs and they even have their own walkthrough. Smegging brilliant!

Tomb Raider (official site)

Good for advertising and screenshots (not much else though), worth a look if you feel like a basic tour and nothing complicated (which is usually the case with official websites).

Tomb Raider: Chronicles.com

Linked to 'The Last Revelation.net', this is much the same story. Multiple-platform cheats and other shenannigans make this an extremely worthy site. They even have a section for hex-editing PC savegames. Brillo or what?

Fan Pages

Cajsa's Tomb Raider Site

Cajsa has a lot of links and images etc, but the main appeal of her page is the forum that she's started up. Have a goosey at her forum, see if you can solve anyone's problems and throw in your own. Don't forget to sign her guestbook, although you'll have to do a little guesswork, because that part's in Swedish at the moment.

Katie's Screenshots Page

It's great to find sites that are based around a central theme, and this one has a very interesting theme indeed, it's got screenshots of just about anything from the game! Overall, it has simply page upon page of screenshots that delve into things like the weird bugs and stuff ups in the game and the more conventional, like vehicle or building shots. For those of you that are into fan fiction, Katie's turned out a few stories herself, some of which have been read by Core I believe (or was it Eidos?). Either way, have a gander! :-)

Lara Croft Unlimited

Here's a good site if you're after pictures or cheats. I'd recommend it to anyone that may be starting a new TR related website as you'll obviously be wanting some pictures to tart the site up a bit. The cheats are written in what appear to be original form, as in actual English, not "PHR34K 5P33K" (phreak speek), so they're easily understandable (unlike mine!). This page won't work properly on any browsers that aren't IE based, so sorry to any users of Netscape, Opera etc. Linux users may want to try using Konqueror under KDE.

Lara is a 4 Letter Word

4 letter word is probably the best looking Tomb Raider site in existence, made by a German mate of mine, as far as things like links and that go, it puts my page to shame! This is more focused on the Angelina Jolie side of things though, my page is more technically minded. Anyway, if you're after the more personal side of TR, this page is GREAT!

Lara's Room

This is run by a Canadian mate of mine, his page is geared more towards the net side of things at its base, like pictures and links etc, but at the moment he's started a unique project. He's getting all of the enemies in the game and saying how to beat each and every one of them, this is quite a task, and I take my hat off to him for undertaking such a challenge (he's started off with Tomb Raider 2). He also has things like forums and news, so this may be just the little niche page that you're after.

Walkthroughs

Major/Multiple Walkthrough Sites

Stella's Tomb Raider Site

A good set of walkthroughs, the files are split up into each game region. Fairly logical and a good filesize makes this page good for navigation. The steps aren't numbered like Gamer's Revolution's are but it uses keywords in capital letters so that makes up for it. Plus it's written for the PC! Huzzah!

Tomb Raider

Gamer's Revolution

A basic, all text walkthrough which is barebones but does the job. Quite good, but use it in conjunction with a second walkthrough.

Tomb Raider 2

Gamer's Revolution

A basic, all text walkthrough which is barebones but does the job. Quite good, but use it in conjunction with a second walkthrough.

Sinjin's Walkthrough

Halfway decent but rough around the edges, this walkthrough is capable but leaves some things out. Mainly catering for and made by Playstation-owning, incompetent, inbred fools, this will leave a lot of PC owners annoyed.

Tomb Raider 3

Gamer's Revolution

A basic, all text walkthrough which is barebones but does the job. Quite good, but use it in conjunction with a second walkthrough.

Sinjin's Walkthrough

This one is pretty sloppy too, but it's good for things like hints and cheats etc.

Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation

Sinjin's Walkthrough

Sinjin has lifted his game here and made a decent product, the page is still image-heavy but he has gone to greater lengths to cater for PC owners.

Croft Times Walkthrough
This is a brilliant quality product made by the one of the biggest Tomb Raider sites in existence. Get it. It's good.

Tomb Raider: Chronicles

Tomb Raider: Chronicles FAQ by Credo

This one was made for the Playstation beta, so there will be the odd difference. Good and detailed but get a more recent walkthrough if you can find one.

Sinjin's Walkthrough

One of my favoured sites at present, I gave it a great rating because of the use of in-game screenshots to accompany the text. Fairly recent too, so check it out.

Level Development

Flatland Rover

This is the home of 3D-ML, a programming language developed from HTML to make 3D websites. The significance of this is that it can be used to make Tomb Raider levels, and Flatland actually have an online community with EIDOS for the production of these levels. At one stage there was a cash prize competition to make the best level that may or may not still be running.

Tomb Raider Level Editor

I would have thought the name would have said it all, but this is a dedicated level making page that includes the first three instalments of the series and the last two despite the engine changes. If you are even slightly interested in level making for Tomb Raider, this is the best place to start.

Tomb Raider Level Planet

This is run by a South African mate of mine, Tertio. He's 11, and looking around his page, it's an incredible effort for his age. Rather than the usual, "here's a picture of my dog, I like Pokemon......", he has links for movies for the new and upcoming Tomb Raider game, plus it's very level editor oriented, with skins and many other things. Have gander, this kid astounds me! ;-)

tra.gamersuplink.com

Alright, I'll admit it, I forgot the name of the site, hence the URL for the title! This is a well organised page from lots of gamers areound the cosmos, with levels, wads, tools, textures and outfits. This is quite a big page, so I'd prefer if you visit smaller sized pages first, like Tertio's above, because the smaller webmasters need a bit of visiting. :-)
