I should not need to explain this one.

Tomb Raider 1 Lara Croft didn't even get that, it was just a ramp

The graphics were extremely groundbreaking for the time. Unless you lived through it, it would be hard to understand. Its hard to compare it to any modern graphics advancement because modern graphics advancements are all such tiny visual improvements, its not the same as the massive leaps early 3D graphics had.

I still have a CD somewhere with all the nude mods I'd collected. You gotta archive the important things.

The whole experience surrounding Tomb Raider nude codes was a pre-teen wake-up call to what the world was really like. That so many different people would just KNOWINGLY LIE!? About this, of all things!? Do you know the strength of the forces with with you so callously toy? So nothing is sacred then. And the world is cruel. Got it.

Also, everybody ignores dat ass.

/me goes into an editor and increases the "height" of the pyramids.

Some people are too young to understand the power of a video game cover back then

Tomb Raider is a conceptually amazing game. Level design and re-use of rooms to save memory was outstanding.
