I got a great bargain this weekend .... no, not the 3DS. But instead brand new copies of Tomb Raider I, II & III for the good ol' PS1 for just 5 bucks; hooray time to revive the great the glory days.
(24 hours later)
Sweet mother of Mercy, these games are awful!!! And no, is not one of those games that "time has been harsh with it" nope, Tomb Raider was bad, was bad from the very beginning; so it's time to share what games are just a cheap zircon instead of a diamond.
Tomb Raider (PS, PC, Saturn)
Why it was so praised?: Mostly beacuse the character is a busty pixelated girl, seems like some reviewers at the 90's never bother with Metroid or Valis. Also it filled the gap left for Pitfall Harry in the adventure genre traveling in ugly 3D dungeons hunting for treasures.
Where is now: The original developer for these games was shutted down in 2006. Eidos (that 90's rad company that sold Tomb Raider watches for $499) was bought by Square Enix, now Tom Raider waits for a re-invention or another sweet isometric puzzle adventure game.
Pilotwings (SNES)
Why it was so praised?: The game is nothing but a tech demo for the mode 7 and the only good part are the 2 last missions, but it's mode 7 and that's cool I guess.
Where is now: Launch title at the 3DS, again more like a Tech demo, really short and without any new ideas at it.
Pit Fighter (Arcade)
Why it was so praised?: OMG digitized graphics!!!! Who cares if the game is a terrible unplayable misconception with funny jumps. Thankfully Mortal Kombat arrived 2 years later to erease this thing.
Where is now: Dead, just like Atari.
