Tomb Raider Chronicles Downloads
Please 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.
No official bonus levels are available, but both the PC and Macintosh versions of the game include the Tomb Raider Level Editor. If you want to try your hand at level design or sample some of the hundreds of custom levels created by other fans, my Level Editor page is a good place to start.
Chronicles was designed to run under Windows 98. So your game may need a little tweaking to run smoothly on a computer running Windows Vista or XP. Before patching, try this simple fix:
- After installing the game, locate the PCTomb5.exe file. (Use the Search function in the Windows Start Menu if you have trouble.)
- Right-click on the PCTomb5.exe icon and choose 'Properties' from the drop-down menu.
- Click the 'Compatibility' tab.
- Check the box next to 'Run this program in compatibility mode for' and choose 'Windows 98/Windows Me' from the list.
- Click the 'OK' button.
- Run the game as usual.
If that doesn't work, you may also need to download and install one of the unofficial Windows Vista/XP patches, which are part of tombraiderchronicles.com's excellent Windows Vista and XP Tomb Raider Solution.
If the demos or expansion level downloads won't install, you may need to set the compatibility mode on the downloaded demo files as described in the paragraph above before installing, as well as on the game program files once they are installed.
For additional help, use Google to search for such keywords as: "tomb raider windows XP".
- Macintosh Chronicles Update v. 1.0.2 (1.4 MB) - Official Mac update, fixes problems with cut scenes and game crashes, and improves overall performance. (This supercedes the v. 1.0.1 patch released earlier.)
For additional help with technical issues, please refer to my Tech Support Links page.
I 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 chronicles 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.
Music for Tomb Raider Chronicles was composed by Peter Connelly and Martin Iveson. As far as I know, the complete soundtrack is not available at this time. However, I've been told that Eidos has licensed the music to a distributor, so hopefully that means fans will soon be able to buy and/or download all the TR soundtracks. As soon as I learn more, I'll post that info here.
In the mean time, if you have the original game CD, you can listen to the audio tracks on a music CD player or with Windows Media Player. Just skip the game data tracks, which will sound like static and electronic noise. I believe this works with both PC and PlayStation discs, though I'm not sure about Macintosh.
The Tomb Raider movie soundtracks are available on Amazon.com and iTunes .
For Lara Croft image galleries, wallpaper, screensavers, video, cell phone ringtones, and other Tomb Raider media, please check out my Links Directory. Many of the sites listed there offer these types of files.
