Tomb Raider 1 DownloadsPlease read this IMPORTANT WARNING before downloading any files.
PLEASE READ BEFORE DOWNLOADING: Tombraiders.net does not support any of these files and is not responsible for anything that happens to your computer as a result of downloading or installing them. All the files on this site have been checked for viruses. Still, I recommend taking precautions with any downloaded file, including downloading from reputable sites, scanning with an anti-virus/spyware program, following installation instructions, and backing up your existing files before installing anything new. Tomb Raider 1 Game Demos
Bonus Levels for Tomb Raider 1"Unfinished Business" and "Shadow of the Cat" are mini-scenarios consisting of 2 levels each. These 4 bonus levels are included on a second CD in the "Gold" edition of Tomb Raider 1 for PC, or they can be downloaded for free but require the original Tomb Raider CD to play. Details are included on the walkthrough page.
Tomb Raider 1 & Windows 2000, XP, Vista or 7Tomb Raider 1 and the Unfinished Business expansion were designed to run in DOS, not Windows, so a bit of effort is needed to make them work on newer systems. Eidos does not offer support for TR1 on newer systems, but several enterprising fans have created solutions. Our easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions explain which files you'll need, where to get them, and exactly what to do to get the game running. Please see: Installation Guide for TR1 and Windows XP or Windows 2000 If you already know which files you need, you can download them here and on these linked sites:
Other Patches & Utilities for Tomb Raider 1Most of the files you'll need are included in the section on TR & Windows XP, above, though you may want one or more of the following patches even if you're still running windows 95/98/Me:
In addition to the official game patches, various hardware-specific patches were also released (e.g., Voodoo2, Matrox, ATI and S3 cards current in 1996-97). Most of this hardware is no longer in use today, but if you need any of these patches, visit Eidos Tech Support or use Google to search for your particular hardware if necessary. If you are unable to see the video sequences at the start of the game and between certain levels, or if you just want to watch them again, you may want to download EscapePlay (765 KB) to watch the movies outside the game. The readme.txt file included with the download explains how to use it. For additional help with technical issues, please refer to my Tech Support Links page. Disabling the Windows Key: TR1 runs in DOS, and as a result, accidentally pressing the Windows (Start Menu) key will cause the game to crash to the desktop. This can be prevented by downloading and using the WinKey Killer utility created by Brad Jackson. I have found it very helpful, but since it's not my creation, I am not responsible for it. So use and enjoy it at your own risk. WinKey Killer works with Windows 95, 98, Me, XP (and I think Vista as well, though I'm not positive). Instructions are included in the 'readme' text file accompanying the download. Tomb Raider 1 Trainers & Savegame EditorsI prefer the use of savegame editors to game "trainers", but if you really want one, they are out there. Use Google to search for keywords like "tomb raider trainer". Savegame & Position Editors are fairly easy to use and make for more "realistic" cheating. Instead of making Lara invincible, you can add just a few medi-packs, a weapon or some ammo, a key you missed, or just a little extra air when Lara needs it. The position editor lets you reposition her anywhere in a level, for fun or to avoid danger. Tomb Raider Theme Music & SoundtracksThe music for Tomb Raiders 1-3 was composed by Nathan McCree. Unfortunately Nathan's former web sites are now closed, and I don't know where he can be found on the net these days. However, Planet Lara offers a comprehensive collection of theme music and ambient audio from all the games, along with downloadable disk and cover art for making your own CDs. Or, if you have the original PC or PlayStation game disk, you can listen to the audio tracks on a music CD player or with Windows Media Player. Macintosh users can open the sound files on the CD with QuickTime. Just skip the game data tracks, which will sound like static and electronic noise. This doesn't work with the Sold Out Software PC version, however, since that game is missing the audio tracks. The Tomb Raider movie soundtracks are available on Amazon.com and iTunes Pictures, Video & Other Media for TR1For Lara Croft image galleries, wallpaper, screensavers, video, cell phone ringtones, and other Tomb Raider media, please check out my Fan Site Directory for links.
