They had Lara CGI model in PLayboy and were announcing a new real live model to model as her every year. Yes the appeal was boobs. Kids hearing about the nude rumor and tried manipulating the camera. I have regular gaming magazines from the 90s where she is topless but a sign is held over the nips. Her whole thing was sex appeal and shit gameplay. TR was an impressive demo on PC in 1994 and an impressive PS1 game at the time. The game was total donkey shit tho. Always has been. Series was shit from day 1 and never became good.

That's marketing, not game play. TR1 and TR2 are still excellent games, then finally TR Anniversary again. The series had a lot of misses :(



Playing the game for the boobs is what it turned into.

It reminds me of a series of old 1990s IGN articles. They poked fun at the console wars of the time with parody listicles titled "Top Ten Signs You're Playing Too Much PlayStation/N64/Saturn." For the PlayStation list, one of the top ten was "You find yourself strangely turned on by sharp, triangular breasts."
