Tomb Raider
The 32-bit polygon era's defining silhouette.
Tomb Raider (1996 PS1/Saturn/PC) defined polygonal action-adventure on 32-bit hardware. Lara Croft became the medium's first crossover-cultural mascot. The original Core Design trilogy (1996–1998) anchors the apex sealed market; the late-90s big-box PC releases are the photogenic collectibles.
