LOST CIVILIZATION

The ’90s Lara Croft still lives. While Crystal Dynamics reinvented Lara as Girl Rambo, dedicated fans are keeping her original lycra-clad incarnation fighting fit thanks to the editing tools included in 2001’s Tomb Raider V: Chronicles. Community hub TRLE.net hosts over 3,000 new adventures to play added over the years, many full-length games packed with fresh environments and enemies.

For more than 20 years fans have been mastering and refining tools, which let you export standalone games for easy sharing. ’s 25th anniversary has brought out the very best, though even 2021’s most notable releases are still just a sampling from a vast vault of treasures.
