Tomb Raider

Tomb Raider is the action-adventure game developed by Core Design and published by Eidos Interactive that launched one of gaming’s most enduring franchises, following archaeologist Lara Croft across ancient ruins and lost civilisations. This UK Platinum release carries serial SLES-00024 and was released on 1 January 1999. Presented in a Full Jewel PAL case with English language content, it is a single-disc release. Collectors should note a distinctive anomaly on this variant: the spine text uses white lettering on a black label rather than the standard black text found across the Platinum range, making it an interesting variation to identify. The loose paperwork included with this copy comprises an Eidos Purple Games With Character Catalogue and an Eidos Interactive Knutsford Registration Card. With 14 PAL variants catalogued for Tomb Raider, this Platinum pressing is a useful reference point for those studying the UK Platinum labelling inconsistencies of the era.
