@@shanenice5380It’s funny because I think the Crystal Dynamics games suck. The difference between Angel of Darkness to Legend just tells you the company didn’t understand what Tomb Raider should be.

[@Aut0B0t]

Childhood vibes 🥺🥺🥺 What a grate Time🥺🥺

[@lukea136]

Absolutely love it. Where does time go...

[@PiCheZvara]

IMO low key one of the most influential games. The different locations, different costumes, oth human and animal enemies, the gameplay mechanics (climbing, jumping, swimming, puzzle solving, action, using vehicles, etc.) are drawn from even today in games like Uncharted, orr any similar adventure third-person game. Tomb Raider started it, but Tomb Raider 3 took it to another level. The graphics look clunky now, but you see how this is basically a bluepring for all similar adventure/action games that came afterwards.

[@blackandbipolar]

I was in 8th grade when this came out ☺️ I used to have a subscription to Game Informer magazine and one of their issues was a full walkthrough of the game. Once I was able to get it, that issue saved my sanity sooo many days whenever I got stuck somewhere! I didn’t have a memory card, so I would just pause the game and turn off the tv whenever we had to leave the house 😂 I was so mesmerized by this game and couldn’t play it enough. The music is so haunting and it was exciting to have different vehicles! I feel like a kid again 😭

[@nordicvision1893]

So many lost memories. Ty for the upload!

[@BzJeep]

I did not know that I needed to watch this today, so thanks! Brings back fun childhood memories!

[@ninielingan9428]

I think the reason why the inventory was upside down in the level of "Wreck of Maria Doria" is to reflect the ship is upside down, therefore, making the inventory upside down aswell.

[@puppetmasterin]

I am getting nostalgic too!!!! I use to play this 1999, when I was lonely and sad in Gera (South East Germany), and it always cheered me up!

I second that. The London and Nevada levels on TR3 are the best. My only gripe is how dark they made the levels, and no matter how much you turn the brightness up on the tv, it's still hard to see things.

[@ssjgGogeta]

Let’s be real, we don’t want a remake of the Core Design games because Crystal Dynamics will butcher it beyond recognition. You think Angel of Darkness is bad? Bruh… go play the 2013 reboot Tomb Raider games, they are nothing but Uncharted clones. Angel of Darkness will forever be my favourite TR game and I don’t care what you haters say

[@bmshaven]

Watching this video makes me remember how great this game was from beginning to end and how every map is pristinely designed. Having said that, this is unquestionably an early 3D experience. You really have to be in the right mindset to play and enjoy this currently. I don't know how I beat this game back in the day. I'm an above average gamer, but I also get frustrated easy lol.
