Good news, PlayStation 3 and PSP gamers! The original Tomb Raider is now available for download as part of the "PSone Classics" collection in the PlayStation Store. The $9.99 price tag is a little steep for a 12-year-old game, but I think it's well the investment. There are 15 full-size levels packed with puzzles to solve and enemies to put down. As far as I know, the game is not in the U.K. store yet, but hopefully it will be soon.And of course, you know where to go if you need more info or a walkthrough. ;)
UPDATE 8/29/09: Tomb Raider 2 has just been added to the line of downloadable PSOne Classics for PS3 and PSP—and for only $5.99 this time. Looks like a sign of more good things to come.
UPDATE 9/17/09: Sure enough, here comes Tomb Raider 3, also for $5.99. Now that's a bargain.
UPDATE 10/15/09: And Tomb Raider 4 (The Last Revelation) also $5.99.
UPDATE 1/12/11: At last, Tomb Raider 5 (Chronicles) has been added to the list but so far only in Europe. Vote/comment here on the official PlayStation Blog if you'd like to see this title come to the North American PSN as well.
I died for play it again but I tried everything to make it work under XP without results, now Im thinking to use the virtual pc from microsoft to see if I can simulate and old system inside my XP
ReplyDeleteCasper, have you tried this:
ReplyDeletehttp://tombraiders.net/stella/downloads/TR1install.html? It may help. Many players run TR1 on XP with no problems. Good luck!
Awwww!!! I hope it comes to Europe soon, because I'm not sure how long will my PS1 work... ^^
ReplyDeleteits nice that they put this game up because she is one of my favorite mascots
ReplyDeleteI never played the first game. My first Tomb Raider experience was TR2 which I love, brings me back to when I was a kid, since it was one of the first full games I had.
ReplyDeleteI hope they bring TR1 and TR2 to the PSN Europe, it sucks, that all the best games, end up JP and the NA and never get to EU, I mean Final Fantasy VII sure, that they bring Tomb Raider not even herd a rumor that is coming...
I mean Core Design was British if I'm not mistaken, common Sony bring Tomb Raider to the old continent...

This is fantastic! My little brother and I have been talking for a while now about how much we've missed playing the first TR games, so finally being able to download them on my PSP today made me very happy. I sort of got this silly grin on my face as I was fighting to relearn the old controls (funny how one can end up feeling so incompetent with the simpler stuff after spending so much time on a next-gen console). TR3 was my introduction to the Tomb Raider world. It's so nice to be able to go back and revisit the classics again!
ReplyDeleteWhy can't you just buy Tomb raider the greatest raids
ReplyDeleteI thought the Greatest Raids set was only for PC...?
