We were taking pics with Core Design at the end of PLAY Expo weekend last year and I noticed that quite a few fans were still around and were looking at us; I then quickly invited them to join our pics. What a crazy weekend it was. This is how memories are made  

Our first annual Tomb Raider meetup is happening this year at PLAY Expo. Check this link for details.

The post What a throwback! appeared first on Tomb of Ash.

Natalie Cook, the original Lara Croft model, was asked by then Eidos to record this song back in 1996. The track was never released publicly. In the spirit of Tomb Raider’s 20th Anniversary, Natalie sent us the original cassette of the song. We converted it to a modern digital format and are now happy to share it with you all.  We’ve enabled downloads on Soundcloud so you can listen to this song and its remixes at anytime!

Jim Orton has remastered the track for us! Give his page a like!

The post Out now, Retro Gamer No 163! appeared first on Tomb of Ash.

I decided to take it with me to PLAY Expo to have the Core Design team pose with it for
photos.

Last week I decided that I wanted my best friends, who I met because of Tomb Raider, to sign it. And since I have the honour of calling many of the original Core Design team my friends, they were kind enough to sign it as well

I will certainly endeavour to gather even more signatures in the future.

It is now a proud part of my collection
