Introduction
My
Ode To Lara Croft
After
her many journeys into tombs and temples from various areas
around the world, I wish this site to be a tribute to the cyber
Goddess Lara Croft.
My
first acquaintance with her was in spring 1997, where room-mates
of mine decided, unaware of her impact on the gaming world,
to have a go at the game. They weren't web literate, so it was
purely by chance that it caught their eye. I was scared at the
time of the game pad on the PSX, so I decided to watch them
play. All I can say is that I was awestricken, and spent a sleepless
week, looking at them play... WOW!
I
would be a nervous wreck whenever they would attempt perilous
and impossible looking jumps in St-Francis' Folly. I would be
startled when an enemy would creep behind Miss Croft. So needless
to say... I fell for her and her world.... The game Tomb Raider.
After
a few months, Lara had left my mind, until I bought myself a
PSX. There was an advertisement for Tomb Raider 2 on the box....
I knew that I would play it as soon as it came out...
Now
I am here, having completed all five adventures, impatiently
waiting for the new sequel. In the mean time, to keep her alive,
I am dedicated to creating a site devoted to her and her many
adventures...
