I've seen that a few times already. And then just a hop to the ground of
less distance kills her. Imagine that!
CONSOLE limitation!  )

In order to have fraps slow down a machine, it needs to be recording a
video (then just delete the video afterwards unless you want it).
The grapple isn't that bad on a PC, if you keep the camera over Lara's
head instead of trying to follow her when nearby corners mess up the view.
> There is no backflip, no reverse key, no sideflips, no step backward.
If Lara has her weapons drawn, she reverts to her old style movements,
left and right are side step, and she flips front, side, or backwards.
In TRU you have to hold down the target lock key, but for TRL or TRL,
using advanced toggle, once Lara's weapons are drawn they stay drawn.
In TRU, pressing action near an enemy causes Lara to do a swinging kick,
doing this while running at an enemy results in a flying side kick. It
usually knocks the enemy down.
One undocumented underwater move is holding forwards, then back and releasing
forwards, or vice versa (possibly only in sprint mode), Lara will do a quick
uturn like the old roll underwater move. |

>> Try the TR1 Main Theme, they are using human voices or a good electronic simile singing 'Ah'.
Still sounds like a typical synth chorus to me.

Do a web search for Tomb Raider MP3 and you'll find a lot of hits. TR
Chronicles has a section. There was an "official" site for the early versions
by the composer, but if it's still there, it's buried with all the other hits
on a web search.
> I recall there was something wrong with those disks playing on the PC and you didn't get to hear all the music.
That was a later version of the TR1 cds. The original version worked fine.
For TR1 and TR2, the music and background sounds are audio tracks on the
cd's, and can be played on a normal cd-player. Since these are true
audio tracks, if a players computer didn't have the cd audio output
connected to the sound card, then the music, cut scene dialogs, and
background sounds couldn't be heard. >> Stay informed about: Ok ok. You guys were right. They're fun games. :) |

Ah so that was it. I was using a Soundblaster 1.0 card in an 8 bit slot
back then. It didn't have cd audio in. Then I got an AWE 32 card. That
one did have the inputs, and I did use them. Ok, so I'll just play the
sound tracks. Just like the original Quake!
