Tomb Raider Gold was released in March '99, and it may be the most eagerly awaited game for Mac ever. Back in 1999, Lara Croft was reputed to be in the top 50 most influential people in the Information Technology industry, and she doesn't even exist!įor some reason, the first Mac release was Tomb Raider II, late in 1998. It was the first game of its type - an 'over the shoulder' view and a female lead character you could identify with.

That should translate into a game with the most challenging and interesting gameplay, and its universal appeal bears that out.

Tomb Raider Gold is claimed to have probably the best level design of all the Tomb Raider games. The Unfinished Business levels are played as a separate game from the main TR I. These bonus levels included 'Shadow of the Cat' and 'Unfinished Business', with two levels each - collectively known as 'Unfinished Business'. Tomb Raider Gold Mac version, from Aspyr Media, is the original 1996 Tomb Raider I, plus the bonus 'Gold' levels released later for PC.
