I sat down this evening and beat Tomb Raider (1996) on the Playstation. It only took 18 years! :D

I played Tomb raider once, took a whole 5 minutes (yep, I died)

And if you didn't die... Would that make it a better game? :-?

To beat it, you either need a memory card, or you need to be an immortal gaming ninja. ;)

I think there's someone on YT who can do a speedrun in 2 hours or so. I would say it took a lot of practice.

By the way, how did you die like that? The first level is fairly easy. You should try some of the other levels... There's one chock full of boulders, spikes, pendulum blades, lava and a few monsters. Yummy... :D You can't get past some of it unless you figure out how. There's a trick to it.

Cool storyline and music too, by the way.

dude, I never even beat Super Mario Brothers
My kids like to play Halo with me because I'm an easy kill
(I was exaggerating a bit with the 5 min)
I did beat Double Dragon once ;)

If there's one thing about it, Lara sure could ride that cafe racer of hers!

If you don't want to spoil the story, the bike scene is from 1:11-2:11.

Let's see one of you guys run a street bike around the SIDE of a canyon! ;D 8-).

I dropped a good number of quarters into the Space Invaders game at the bar.

I went outside on the weekend and rode my motorbike 2300 km.

A buddy has a small collection of pinball machines. Sometimes I go to his place for a beer and a few games. Not very great at it tho. I like the Dr Who one.

I loved the first Tomb Raider... but, it took forever...
Every level,.. after I killed the baddies and solved the puzzle, I would just wander around, exploring... instead of going on to the next level...

I liked that more than the game... ;D

After Raider 1,... they got too fancy... I couldn't keep track of what all the buttons did... :-/
So, I did Raider 1 all over again... :-?
