aka Tomb Raider on a dragon.
that's obviously not really accurate, but visually they definitely modeled the main character after Lara Croft. i think this one suffered for being a little too advanced for its time. it was awesome but most systems had a hard time running it and it was a story based rpg at a time when everyone was losing their minds over brand spanking new tournament style FPS games (Quake3 and the original Unreal Tournament). |

I do agree with the Lara Croft thing, but I find it's a much better game than the Tomb Raider ones of the time. I'm really happy that you know the game, for some reason. |

the greatness of the game also has nothing to do with being 8, i was 22 when it came out (and wasting my time in college studying video game design) it WAS awesome. just wiki-ed the series and come to find out a sequel DID come out a couple of years later, but only on PS2. |

Something about the whole story is just amazing, even though it's a bit of a cliche. |

cliches are a staple of pc games especially fantasy based titles, there's no getting around it hehe. but there's really something to be said about mid-late 90s pc games though - that era was special. |

First I couldn't even start a game, the Engine would crash. I had to start it up in Developer's Mode and save a game so I could do it normally from then on. Now whenever the graphics supposedly get demanding, the engine crashes. It's not too often, but it's a complete bloody nuisance. |
